The Treasury check, of course, is packaged with a personal letter from Donald taking credit and smearing his predecessor Joe Biden. Not subtle.

Somebody gets two checks in the mail the same day. One from the US Treasury for much less than the amount their premiums increased this year. The other from their car insurance company, which is on top of substantial premium decreases over the past year. Makes you wonder what’s going on, huh?

It’s not exactly convenient for the scam that these checks are hitting at the same time that some car insurance companies are issuing policyholder dividends. In the case of car insurance, premiums have been lowered months ago. What’s happened to health insurance premiums?

(It’s very concerning that nobody took him seriously when he said he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and he wouldn’t lose support, but maybe we’re having a bit of a teachable moment here?)

“I could have done bad things to…” —> “I tried to do bad things to somebody but wasn’t able to before I got bored or distracted or (falls asleep).” (This Administration regularly does bad things that they shouldn’t be allowed to do, they just have more success against those who can’t fight back.)

Thinking about Alex Jones specifically, he hasn’t yet experienced the level of societal vengeance that is his due, but he’s motored on with his own problems and likely has enough to deal with on his own.

Donald is finding money in buckets and sending it out, and hoping nobody remembers how much health insurance premiums spiked this year. Or that nobody checks before the election how much they’re supposed to spike next year.

Donald has sent $500 checks to 2026 users of the federal Obamacare exchange. That’s real money, but let me put it this way: car insurance companies are also sending rebate checks to their customers. But car insurance premiums are also getting cheaper. Are health insurance premiums getting cheaper?

At one point in the video he actually reads the following portion of the Defoe poem.
 The Romans first with Julius Caesar came,
  Including all the nations of that name,
  Gauls, Greeks, and Lombards, and, by computation,
  Auxiliaries or slaves of every nation. 
  With Hengist, Saxons; Danes with Sueno came;
  In search of plunder, not in search of fame. 
  Scots, Picts, and Irish from th’ Hibernian shore,
  And conquering William brought the Normans o’er. 
  All these their barbarous offspring left behind,
  The dregs of armies, they of all mankind;
  Blended with Britons, who before, were here. 
  Of whom the Welsh ha’ blessed the character. 
  From this amphibious ill-born mob began
  That vain, ill-natured thing, an Englishman.

Someone needs to tell Donald that Russ embezzled some of the money, which he would believe (because Donald would wet his beak if he were in Russ’s position) and he would not forgive (Donald and his family are the only ones allowed to wet their beaks here).
