    Tucker has been on the money.

    your average American is getting poorer to help Ukraine fight this loosing war and Israel maintain its better GDP with free healthcare and university

    if politicians and such wouldn’t be profiting off of this it would be a no brainer to end

    David Sacks has been tweeting like a Putin asset. Disappointing.

    Americans can barely scrape by but we have the ultra rich giving the money back to themselves and Ukraine

    this isn’t going to be sustainable for long , when people go hungry they’re going to turn on their abusers

    Ted gets a pass because he's a privileged member of the corrupt Washington Establishment.

    It's not just Ukraine, though. It's been going on for a good while now. The COVID relief packages were an even bigger example.

    So was the pandemic relief program, electric vehicle subsidies, cash for clunkers, erc., and the biggest every year is the Pentagon's budget.

    More corruption and incompetence. It's too bad that the people of the United States lack a federal investigative agency to root out all of this corruption but they're even more corrupt.

    Imagine making a 1/4 a billion dollars while being a public servant.

    The party of moral superiority and 'tax the rich' brings you ....

    Yeah, so many wealthy people abused the system with millions in handouts. Read this article today. It disgusted me.

    Anyone following what is going on with this "Omnibus Bill", 1,500 pages they are trying to jam down everyone's throat, last minute?

    Raising their own salaries, healthcare benefits, trying to prevent later audits of their actions, etc. etc. etc.
