21. All while giving themselves a sizeable raise.

Dec 2024

This is so fucked up. It's like the GOP's chest has been cut open and all the evil, smelly goo that has been festering inside is exploding forth, to undo any progress we as a nation has made over more than two plus centuries.

The Repugs, MAGAs, corporations and uber-rich have long waited for the opportunity to turn the clock back until the minute before the last state ratified the Constitution. Then they'll rip the document up and write a new one that greatly benefits only themselves.
