Ted Cruz's nat'l security advisor was VP of a small PR firm that lobbied on behalf of the coup government of Honduras, which had ousted its progressive leader. After the coup, homicides and poverty in Honduras skyrocketed, driving mass migration to the US


Actually, Republicans, you are already on the record fighting like crazy to get rid of protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions.


As Larry Kudlow, Trump’s top economic advisor, speaks out for abolishing the minimum wage, entertain that maybe neither of these trendlines is an accident. Trump himself said repeatedly in 2016: "Our wages are too high."

Go on...laugh. You deserve it.

—@TrueFactsStated is here and is answering questions before things get started about the inflated Trump-like rat he has outside. Here's a pic of that. He says it fits in perfectly with the "clown show" we are covering.
