  1. P.J. O’Rourke comes to mind: “The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it.”

  2. Trump and his “pet” Muskrat are running totally amuck and defy reason and law, yet our alledged representatives in the House and Senate are too worried about their jobs to say anything which may offend his highness “King Trump”. Instread of draining the swamp they are turning into a fast moving river with lots of rapids creating a network of fear, distrust and paralyzing everything. Trump now says that he can overturn another president’s pardons in his deranged way of thinking, which he has proven he believes himself to be above all laws. What an ass! Oh, and let’s not forget the latest cost cuttling measure to secure the tax cut for the rich, starving children by cutting their meal funding.

  3. I remember calling the IRS during Trump 1.0 with a 2.5 hour wait. I believe last I heard (last year and under Biden) call wait times were less than 30 minutes

    Let’s Make America Great Again, and God help you if you get a letter from the IRS.

    1. I got one.

      It’s complete gibberish and gave me 7 days to respond

      Hysterical
