It would be fascinating to know how any sales/orders she's had. Methinks someone has a very over-inflated idea of her own importance. The damn things cost $130.00.
Botany
(78,180 posts)Btw she has publicly said that she sees Musk as Uncle Elon now. She knows he cheated.
Btw she is a Trump no doubt her company has been collecting orders for her merch but
as of yet hasnt sent out anything.

When democrats in charge complain about austerity and fiscally responsible, constantly and loudly and yell it from rooftops daily, hourly and have every MEDIA outlet complain right along with you !!!
When in charge again, spend like thieves run up the deficit, start credit card wars. Rinse and repeat

When they try to whine about it again, we just need to say two words-- Donald Trump.
I do not care that Rs are not saying anything about waste, fraud, and abuse right now. I don't expect them to.
But I do want to hear Dems shouting it from the rooftops now and forever. Pin it on them. Nail them for it, over and over and over so that they NEVER escape the label.
They are the party of waste and fraud on the nation. They abuse power. They are thieves who can never ever be trusted. And they start effin' wars that they can't win, wasting more money and most of all, human lives.
Scum of the earth.

(17,671 posts)Yes, Trump is indeed the worst CRIMINAL weve ever elected to be our president - and he MUST be tried and convicted for his crimes
BUT
..
It is the REPUBLICAN HOUSE and SENATE that have given him a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card, starting with the back-in-the-hospital-hope-you-die-soon Mitch Fuckin Turtle McConnell!
If YOU are a Republican - YOU OWN THIS SHIT SHOW!!!!!!!!!

(19,293 posts)It was always bullshit cover for finding ways to oppose Democratic policies.
Just like adopting anti-abortion policies and rhetoric was always a tool for other objectives and NEVER about actually protecting life.

They would rather destroy the future for their kids and their country than disagree with Trump.

(14,730 posts)So much of what Republicans decry as "waste, fraud and abuse" is just Republicans ideologically lashing out at things they simply don't like that Democrats support.
