This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
4) Repeat.
Don't let them get away with it.
Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, warned of "economic calamity" if Trump's tax cuts for the rich are not extended.
But when asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25/hr, he said no.
Economic populism.
BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly worried the polar vortex this weekend will make his inauguration day in D.C. freezing cold and windy so he'll get sick and die in his first month as president like William Henry Harrison did.
CAUCACITY is Donald Trump disparaging Michelle Obama for years, ridiculing her looks, calling her nasty, and white folks expecting her to attend his inaugural.
Itโs JD Vance disrespecting Kamala Harris and calling her โtrash,โ and white folks expecting her to give him a tour of the VP residence.
Itโs disgusting to see people excuse white men for disrespecting Black women and then disparage Black women for not bowing down and kissing the rings of the white men who disrespected them.
This is why I say whiteness is an unrelenting, demonic, force of evil.
