Sounds like he wants to buy them brown uniforms to go with their new wages.I’d be ashamed to even call myself an american at this point.
What a fall america is taking. It’s the joke of the planet.
Honestly I would expect Trump to be more patriotic and go with Silver Shirts
This barrel has no bottom.
They're digging down under the barrel straight into raw sewage.
It's certainly up there with Russia and North Korea at the moment.
"Paid for Committing Treason" pretty much sums up Trump's presidency.
Hey, at least this time he's actually paying the people that do work for him.
Taxpayers are paying the people. FTFY
Ok, let's go storm the capital. We just have to spend a little time in jail and the next pres will let us out and pay us. No harm no foul.
/s
Users?? Has the US started to talk about its populace like they are on a twitch stream?
What the fuck is this headline? The main subject of the reporting is the online reaction to the actual news story. Why can't they just report the event and not people's reaction to it?
Are we cooked, Chat?
What would you prefer, social media victims?
Could just call them people, but I guess Users would be ok as some of those will have been bots.
Why would he compensate "ANTIFA"?
So… crime does pay?
He's officially hiring his useful idiots to be his goons.
Presumably, with all the money saved on transgenic mice
All the years he's never paid his bills. Damn...what a fucking time to start...
He isn't going to pay them shit. He wants to make us pay them.
Guarantee you that isn't the way he sees.
Gotta give it to him: he knows how to flood the zone with distracting outrage.
Appalled yes, surprised no
Users?
What's he going to give them? Brown coats and
black SUVsrusted out '90s pickup trucks? Fucking Nazi.Our money
