@POTUS I grew up on a farm also helped my Grandaddy Barnard gather sort and candle eggs from among his 3 chicken houses, 3,000 layers more or less. It was a small operation given present egg factories, but it was his quite successful livelihood. No ChickenP, replaced w/ #TrumpChickenShit

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.
