16. Wait a minute...

Feb 2

we can't spend any of our tax dollars to help people afford healthcare and their meds... or help everyone afford food now that the tariffs have screwed us all... but we're so awash in OUR money that he feels free to kill the WH East Wing, renovate the Kennedy Center, AND built a huge ass Hitler-arch to himself. Kennedy Center says $200M... the East Wing is way above that... and by the time they get the gold plating onto that stupid arch (you KNOW he's gonna want that!), he will have absolutely bankrupted the country just to leave his name all over the trash in the city. It'll cost at least that much and twice more to tear it down and rebuild our institutions reflecting grace and good trash. I'm so tired of his gilt-loaded white trash ideas.

If he's going to spend all this money on everything I don't agree with... then, I'm gonna do a MAGA and scream for MY tax dollars back to me to spend as I see fit. I'm not giving him a wink and nod with my money to kill people via ICE, or put out complete surveillance teams on everyone in the U.S., ala Musk. Enough is enough. Cut off his money. If he wants shit, HE can pay for it (if he actually has any liquid assets, that is).
