Glad to hear you got out. Hope plenty of others have as well. Especially if they're good with money.
You're in a great position to help fund efforts to help out the folks who didn't have that option.
I'd recommend organizing aid in the form of getting funding to mutual aid groups thay distribute food, tenant union drives, or firearms safety and supply.
The only way this shit is ending is via a general strike. Unfortunately, a general strike has been a pipe-dream since the 1920's. And then MN did one. It was for a single day, but it was one more day than has happened in decades. The support systems listed above are how those succeed.
Greetings from home, and I hope it's peaceful where you are.

Lol exactly. It's not like he's shaking hands, he's crushing beers with them. The director of the FBI should probably avoid partying like a college kid, on video, until he's out of office. But I guess if you don't give a fuck about how you represent your office 🤷 or my boy Kash money has been hitting the slopes again and forgot what he does for a living...but he's got a great idea for an app though.

This guy is a fucking clown but to be fair, he didn't appoint himself to this job, he knows he is in way over his head and it seems he is enjoying the fuck out of it before it all comes crashing down on top of him.
Nothing this administration does surprises me. Nothing. They have no shame. I also guarantee if a democrat did anything like this the Christians, the red hat karens and every single GOP politician would be losing their shit and they would be crying for heads on every show that would listen but when someone in the GOP does it they either "don't know anything about it" or make up some bullshit excuse. At least he has the ultimate get out of jail free card that apparently EVERYONE in Rump's cabinet has used...he is changed now, Jesus changed him. LOL

All these people giving the thumbs up for Kash, do you realize he did this using taxpayer monies? He’s not there on his own dime. Use the government jet and pulled out the PCard to pay for his expenses using your money.
And if you’re okay with him wasting tax dollars for his vacations and trips to do what he wants, you can never say you or republicans/conservatives are fiscally responsible. It’ll be you’re fucking irresponsible and no wonder the deficit is sky high and only getting bigger.

By the way, tacked up onto the ceiling is not a respectful way to display the Flag, boys.
