What IS bad is how they choose NOT to write about Bessent bailing out Argentina and benefiting himself and his buddies.

Another 20 BILLION of taxpayer dollars are being given to Melei and our "respected" business reporters say nothing.

WHY? 🤔

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

Spare us the patronizing 'bless her heart' comments. It took Speaker Johnson less than 24 hours to swear in his Republican colleagues.

He’s stalling because he’s scared of his puppet master Donald Trump.

This delay isn’t about process. It’s about obstruction. #ReleaseTheFiles

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Bailing out Bessent’s billionaire friends on Wall Street from their bad investments is much more important.

Bessent only cares about bailing out Argentina and benefiting himself and his buddies.

.
Republicans will bail farmers out (AGAIN) and give them Billions of US taxpayers dollars.
Then farmers will post on social media that they're voting for Republicans because they (farmers) are against socialism 🤷‍♀️

It is a good strategy if one wants to destroy a respected news outlet.

So perhaps, Bezos succeeded in what he set out to accomplish with WaPo.
