I’m just so happy that we’re not in Debt as a country. It’s awesome to have all this money for all these sort of things like fixing the reflecting pool and paying for IRS’ stupidity and on and on and on.

“I’m just so happy that we’re not in Debt as a country.”


True sarcasm. What I see is that so many don’t hold to their issues....but to “their party” and “their guy.”

Our economy is in trouble and I am seeing that we are one big Uniparty. It doesn’t matter who we elect, not much really changes. Endless wars, big spending ....... I trust so few in office now.

They’re not even pretending to hide the corruption. I expect the heads of many Liberals will explode over this.

for IRS’ stupidity
.....

Some might call that part of a long train of abuses and usurpations...

And some may want to reflect on a pool where every domestic enemy in places like the IRS are drowned until dead.

But your mileage will vary

Lol… You are not quite understanding the issues at hand. Now stop being disingenuous.

Lets recap….Its your opinion its okay for folks to steal private info and use it against other folks because the US economy runs an enormous deficit and also fixes historical monuments? Got it.

Sounds alot like what the left says…. Stop Trump by any means necessary right?
Even theft and extortion.
