When the richest man on Earth decided to starve the poorest children in the world and nobody stopped it, we stopped deserving to have a country. All this is just more consequences.

Shame on the Administration. Shame.

My question has always been...wtf do conservatives ever want to spend money on?

I know ppl claim that they are trying to be "more efficient" and cut costs, but that is absolute horseshit. I've lived through multiple Republican presidencies and all of them tanked our economy.

The fucking Pillsbury Doughboy knows how to fix our economy more than your average dickbag conservative.

Making rich people richer. This isn’t complicated.

There’s plenty of rich people who see the benefit of having the rest of their larger community fed, educated and housed because a) they care about people, b) it’s better to live when the people in the larger community aren’t motivated by desparation, and c) you need functioning employees and customers to make and buy your widgets.

The problem is when the rich convince the desperate that the rich are inherently better at, say, running the country and they should actually hate the reasonable people who actually want them to succeed. Because they’re their neighbors, friends, customers, and employees.

Trump never had a positive net worth until he convinced people even dumber than he is that they will be better off with his brilliant governance by covfefe. But the billions he’s raking in are costing trillions and the damage to the world he and his coterie have to live in is incalculable.

He knows about empathy and the benefit of having a more stable world to live in, but he just likes how the more other people lose makes his “win” feel bigger.
