Money buys access. Money creates a sense of obligation. Money creates a reason to recruit others girls. Money creates guilt. Money and Guilt lock a victim into being a victimizer and a life at the mercy of the system.

Oh she has such a cross to bear. Fortunately for her it is but a small one around her neck. Small crosses are easier to ignore.

OOPS! I guess it is time for DJT to fire the current round of economists and statisticians who put those reports together. Don't they know this is a new Golden (OK, I mean Gilded, or is it Gilted, or even Guilted) age?

Republicans have decided they would rather shut down DHS than work with us to rein in CBP & ICE.

Republicans know full well that Democrats want to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA and cyber security. I tried to pass a bill to do just that todayβ€”and Republicans blocked it!

Those who own the Republican party do not care about the common people, except to confuse them and make sure they fear communism (N.B., that is what they call Democrats)

If congress thinks it has to pay for this war, at least vote to transfer the $$$ from the bloated ICE/DHS budget.

Illusions are interesting. You can see what you want to see. Reality is not so easy to change. DJT is an illusionist, or maybe a delusionist or a Folie Γ  deux spread to the MAGA masses (Folie Γ  Trump?).

Her fraud and grift became rather apparent during her testimony. Strange, I thought DJT like people who did that kind of thing. I guess crediting him with the grift did her in.
