How is this waste of $50 million on a parade benefit the American people? Perhaps the OBM should stop paying for trump's weekly golf outings ($40 million+/-), his personal dinner with his meme coin investors, his other shill or hawking projects to make himself money, etc.

Instead put that money towards feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, education, affordable medical programs, early childhood Headstart programs, affordable day care, after school programs, mental health programs,increasing Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security Administration payouts to seniors, disabled, stringent gun control laws, making owning military grade weapons for non-military persons, term limits for SCOTUS.

I loved that sign too!!! My favorite sign said “When an introvert like me gets out and holds a sign like this, you know it’s bad”

It's a steep upward battle to change even the smallest malfunction of our government, especially now.

All the cogs of machinations that have been built to funnel hard earned money into the pockets of rich people. Generations of liars and cheats in and out of "public" service, congress, the executive where mediocre and anemic policy changes are celebrated as "wins" by progressives.and vilified by "conservatives."

I certainly have no answer for the wrongs; for the governmental policies that we rely on are a vast and deep betrayal of the accepted mythology of our shared goals. Who and what we are as a country and the image we hold of ourselves are polar opposites.
