    America is so fucked up that this would actually be an improvement for us. Imagine if people preferred politicians who didn’t lie.

    Imagine if Trump and Johnson stopped lying every time they were asked about the shutdown, saying that Democrats are insisting that Medicare and Medicaid go to illegal immigrants. It’s simply a lie. Easy to verify that it’s not true.

    Imagine if Trump just told the truth. He doesn’t give any shits about anybody but himself, and so obviously he also doesn’t care if the ACA premiums double or triple for the average person, and he’s absolutely delighted about a shutdown because he wants to consolidate his own power by firing as many government workers as possible.

    And that Trump and Johnson are trying to throw as many smoke screens up as possible to avoid people knowing that Trump’s name is all over the Epstein files, everywhere, since they were best friends for like a decade, and it’s not like Epstein suddenly turned evil after parting ways with Trump. Trump even said that Epstein liked young girls.

    Maybe he’d get away with it. Who knows? But I fucking wish they just told the truth.
