Trump could find $20 *billion* to bail out his circus freak buddy Milei in Argentina, but they couldn’t scrape up $20 million for a flood control project in Alaska.

As for that $20B, they might as well have incinerated it as give it to Argentina.

Ah yes, the Young Republicans the future of the GOP, bravely carrying the torch of family values… straight into a private Telegram chat full of gas chamber jokes, rape memes, and slavery “banter.” Nothing says “we’re the moral backbone of America” quite like laughing at humanity’s worst crimes.

Heard about this earlier, and my jaw didn’t drop. You know who else isn’t surprised? Pretty much every Republican.

As someone who’s been a frequent target, none of this shocks me. I don’t expect real consequences from the right because I doubt today is the first day they heard about it.
