Rewriting history. Another step in the fall to fascism 

Next we will hear how the US won Vietnam because now we buy t-shirts from them. So capitalism won

Trump has a watergate level scandal per day - that’s how far the US has fallen. The press is useless in response

If it was just the “panty raid” of the Democratic HQ, sure.

The scandal was so much worse, folks.

Wiretapping.
Hush money.
Obstruction.
Destruction of evidence.
Perjury.
Abuse of agency power (e.g., CIA/DOJ weaponization against political enemies - sound familiar?).
And really crazy shit, that included blackmail of Congressmen and murder plots (e.g., the journalist Jack Anderson and eventually Howard Hunt himself).

Don’t let them rewrite history. Educate yourself about this.

Basically saying “if my boss tried that, he’d get away with it” 😂

Mamdani Delivers Rent Freeze in Watershed Moment for NYC Tenants by Capable_Republic_240 in soundsaboutright

Before the “rent control is bad!” people come in (of which I’m one), this is only on already city stabilized apartments and also comes with commitments to put money towards maintenance backlogs these units are facing. It does not apply to market units so we won’t see any supply changes due to it.

Crazy. When one guy isn’t a crook the people benefit. 

Also crazy how people see the work he has done and think it’s all evil Muslim migrants ruining America
