    Illegal protests.

    Okay so since protests are an expression of opinion, and you got that pesky first amendment, all protests are legal, so this tweet is a nothing burger.

    We really need to tax the mega rich. I compiled this list of numbers after the President speech last night, it’s kinda wild:

    $            99,000 - National Median Income is less than $100 thousand.
    $         1,000,000 - 1 Million Dollars.
    $       485,000,000 - Cut Funds to International Relations and whatever.
    $     1,000,000,000 - 1 Billion Dollars. There are over 400 Billionaires in America.
    $    22,000,000,000 - Cut Funds to American Social Serivces through HHS (Human & Health Services).
    $   244,000,000,000 - Elon Musks Net Worth.
    $ 1,620,000,000,000 - 1 Trillion Dollars - Meta (Facebooks) Corporate Net Worth.
    $19,900,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2017 (Obama to Trump)
    $27,800,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2021 (Trump to Biden)
    $36,000,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2025 (Biden to Trump)

    Trump has a team of scientists sitting in a lab cooking up the worst possible tweet in response to every issue.

    I used to be the pride of my family for having finished college. Now it’s demonized by them.

    I feel for the students of today. College was an important time for me. I experienced a lot of new ideas, my mind was opened. I didn’t get to do much in grad school, but my first four years of college changed me and I wouldn’t be the same without those experiences. The way the situation is escalating we may see colleges completely locked down or even abolished.

    Pretty sure the colleges were doing this on their on volition. No need to reiterate president trump, they have the situation under control.

    "You know the best strategy to counter this is to do nothing, it will burn itself out after awhile. If a few people die or get imprisoned well that’s okay as long as I don’t have to do anything difficult or will affect my portfolio and control. "

    obviously I made this quote up but it is how I feel about the people in power that say they are against this administration but really are doing jack shit to support or engage the population. Sure there are some that are doing somethings and I appreciate that, but fuck man do most of the “opposition” party really not have a spine? Like what the fuck, there are millions of citizens that are genuinely scared for their life and freedom and all we are getting is crickets…
