In other news, the national deficit has tripled. Trump says because of Democrat mismanagement he must unfortunately take desperate measures and increase taxes immediately.
Increase taxes, but only on the poor.
"We call it a flat tax so its more fair to everyone".
I believe Mayer Rothschild's famous quote applies:
"Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes its laws"
There's no evidence he said that, and antisemites like to use it to underline their conspiracy theories. People have been getting into hot water for using it for a while - just from the top of my head:
Just logged into my bank, and this banner no longer inspires confidence.
From what I remember musk doesn't even have security clearance for spacex top security and was under investigation by the pentagon for contact with foreign governments.
Sounds like he'll fit right in with this administration
I'm convinced this is why he tied his wagon to trump, and is trying to use this as an excuse to get access to and sabotage the dirt on him.
What the fuck is up with his Mr Burns finger thing
I think he thinks it makes him look sophisticated, frankly speaking he looks like the subject of Bowsers devolution machine from the original Super Mario movie.
Ah, so the super villan made it into the treasurery and James Bond is dead on the floor? Fantastic.
He’s still mad about the PayPal thing.
