“...but the fact is lots of people read it...”
Not true, Boomer. The rat democrats in the fascist federal bureaucracy read it, and it’s paid for by you and me, the taxpayers.
If Trump were to issue an executive order that taxpayer dollars cannot be used to pay for subscriptions to the fascist Washington Post, the paper would die within six months.
I’d be behind such a rule. Federal tax dollars should not go to such an anti-government fake news publication. What states, counties, and cities do is their own business of course.
