A cancer. A freaking albatross around the neck of the country.
Prosperity and even civility could return once this clown's out of office.

Shame about the courts though... we're kinda stuck with Trump's personal clown posse for a generation on the bench.

Monies coming from middle class taxpayers. Deficit on the rise. Pillaging the treasury of the USA from t-rump and his administration and the Republican party.

Same time, get asshole Barr to start a conspiracy.

There was a time when $500 was not a lot of money to me.

Now is not one of those times.

Let's get real,some where in the Thousand Dollar neighborhood for a typical family. Everything one purchases will carry a 25 % price increase. Remember it is not just Imported Goods,the US manufacturer's have and are raising their prices rather than chasing market increase sales.
