I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
> Republican gets elected President.
> Cuts benefits for the poor.
> Cuts taxes for the rich.
> Starts a war in the Middle East.
> Causes a recession.

This week alone:
DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.
The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.
The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.
Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.
It’s just Thursday.
The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.
The Trump admin is pressuring the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to create a $250 bill with Trump's portrait.
This would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in OVER 150 years.

Bernie's 5% wealth tax would:
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60,000
-Give $12,000 to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-End homelessness
Bezos would see his wealth drop from $279 billion to $265 billion. Poor guy.
I asked the president why focus on these projects now amid the backdrop of the war in Iran and as gas prices soar.
He said the question was “stupid” and a “disgrace to the country” saying he’s “fixing” the reflecting pool.
