As budget director, Russell Vought has often ignored Congress by … not signing the checks. At other times, he’s been able to take money Congress intended for one thing and use it for something else by justifying it as a “national emergency.” Listen to our latest episode:

Trump said in 2016 he’d eliminate the national debt in eight years. The national debt apparently took that personally.

I agree with this comment. Just as the 50 Snapchat guys that did nothing are part of the Cornell 57. Republicans are the same as the Cornell 57 for not calling out accountability to the Pedo-in-Chief. This is disgusting and irresponsible 🤮🤬🖕🏼

This is from a now not-anonymous woman who was a child when Trumpy told her he would kill her and her family if she ever said anything. Toady Blanche is making sure all the girls (now women) he assaulted don't talk. ut those of us who are paying attention 100% know what Trumpy did to so many kids.

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.
