And the craziest part is this was needless. Congress would've passed a military pay bill with near unanimous support! Congressional Ds have been begging Rs to bring a bill to pay the military to the floor! But Johnson refuses to gavel in because he doesn't want an Epstein vote.

MAGA thought they elected Trump to save America, but instead he’s saving Argentina. $40 billion now going to Trump’s buddy Javier Milei, while Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or basic healthcare.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Ilhan Omar @ilhanmn.bsky.social · 14h

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

Trump kept his business interests

Then used public office to enrich himself

From foreign money to crypto schemes

I call it what it is: corruption—& the most corrupt presidency in modern history

LMAO.

The GOP cares about one thing, and one thing only - appeasing the Authoritarian & Domestic Terrorist in the Oval Office.

And I say that as a registered R of 40 years.

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

The fact there’s a man in our White House who constantly expresses his hatred for half of the country and makes clear his desire to strip away programs supported by Democrats should tell millions & millions why they need to be a part of the No Kings protest if they still believe in America.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

Why don’t the Dems pull a Trump and just seat her themselves?
Then get her vote.

If Trump can ignore the rules and process, well then…so should everyone else.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

While Trump was busy doing nothing to lower grocery prices, he used the presidency to double his family’s wealth.

He was never going to help you.
He was always going to help himself.

Is this even a real rant from Grampa Ranty?

Hard to tell anymore, since the Short Fingered Vulgarian uses his crappy dollar store social media app to complain about f*cking everything and issue his bullshit 24/7.
