He is a pile of steaming 💩. We demonstrate against him outside his office every Wednesday morning. He hasn’t done a public meeting in person since 2017. What a foul, lying, d!ck sucking non-human.

Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.

I remember back in 2020 when some family members unfriended and blocked me when I commented with incredulity because they posted photos of their (cute) little kids waving American flags saying they were voting for T**** because they were voting for democracy. Uh huh.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

US BUDGET DEFICIT SOARS The deficit jumped 19% to $291B in July. This is despite $21B collected from Americans due to higher import taxes, which led to higher costs on goods like furniture, footwear, and auto parts. The deficit for 2025 is already $1.63 trillion, up 7% from the last year.
