Awaiting Trump's 5,000 word article, about the baptism of Leif Erikson, "On The Historical Unity Of America, Greenland and Canada."

Perhaps it's some sort of honour all mainstream American media are taking to parodying you.

At this point I'm happy describing those who use Trump's stupid alliterative name for the bill, or indeed who quote him at all or ever repeat any of his abuses of our language, as Trump platformers and enablers if not supporters.

Public bismuth subsalicylate subsidies for "abundance agenda" induced nausea, please.

Once in a while it would be nice, assuming his views are reported at all, if someone mentioned that Musk is ultimately just another ass-hole in a hat. The rest of us private citizens (who already live in debt slavery) probably have opinions about the spending bill too but nobody gives a shit.

Good god if there's one thing there's already way too much of it's abundance.
