Trump says his $1.8B slush fund of taxpayer money for J6ers is "peanuts", and claims that prosecuting people that attacked police officers was "the most violent thing [he's] ever seen in politics"
It's an inevitable trade-off of genuine 'big-tent' politics that, from time to time, you will want to burn the exasperating shit show down in an apocalyptic inferno worthy of its own true crime podcast. Breathe through it. It will pass. Eventually. Probably.

Happy Trump Taco Tuesday to all those who celebrate! Trump has raised your prices for a war in Iran and what did we get from it?! Trump agreeing to Iran’s 10 point plan and letting Iran turn the straight of Hormuz into a toll road. The Trump Presidency is a joke.
