One thing Trump didn't talk about last night: his plans to abandon American women’s right to abortion care in medical emergencies. I wonder why he wouldn't want anyone to know that.

When Trump said that America needs to see this. They SURE DO. They need to see (with their OWN eyes) what a poor excuse of a human being Trump and Comp is, and how they portray themselves on the world stage. Deplorables, one and all.

If you're wondering why Elon and his pals are against funding the IRS, this is why (and if you're against this IRS effort, then congrats, you're a useful idiot for a billionaire who doesn't want to get audited):

The irony is that new IRS agents were hired specifically to audit high income earners - NOT like "YOU," but like ELON. He uses regular people as a shield to protect himself and his pals from clawing back what we lose to tax cheats. Elon's fans are useful idiots as he consolidates wealth for himself.
