Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

Two and a half more years of this self-soothing narcissist pilfering our Treasury, waging murderous wars, running up debt like a toxic shopaholic, terrorizing innocents, bulldozing landmarks, branding his name on cultural institutions, and building monuments to himself that nobody else ever will. 🤬

Patriot Front came out of their moms’ basements, dusted off the Old Navy khakis, put on the white masks so they don’t get fired from their day jobs, and headed to Washington for America’s 250th birthday celebration. Four hundred self-described patriots, not one ounce of bravery.
