Thursday

I’m sick of hearing this from Republicans - yeah the very same ones who fill budget bills with their porky pet projects for years!

Oh you mean like a $45 million PARADE?

Or do you mean God only knows how many millions spent (and continuing) on phony Congressional Biden investigations?

Or a billion dollars for a King Midas plane?

How about taking money from YOUR Congressional perks for a change.

F you and the horse you rode in on!
