Nothing screams "we're all in this together" quite like spending millions making statues shinier while people are rationing groceries. ✨ It's the governmental equivalent of putting gold rims on a dumpster that's already on fucking fire.

If your first instinct during economic pain is, "You know what this country needs? More sparkle!" you've confused governing with decorating a goddamn casino lobby. ♂️ Priorities shouldn't look like a Bond villain's Pinterest board.

It's always fascinating how we're told there's "no money" for things that keep actual humans alive... until suddenly there's cash for the political equivalent of chrome-plating a participation trophy. Fucking miraculous accounting.

A government's priorities aren't revealed by speeches—they're revealed by where the money fucking goes. If optics keep winning over people, don't be shocked when public trust ends up worth less than the gold leaf.

It makes perfect sense when you realize that the GOP has for decades wanted to BANKRUPT the government in order to make regulation and taxation impossible. It’s greed. It’s why debt always rises under GOP presidents.

They say gold paint on the palace gates comes from the teeth of pensioners
They're so tired of shooting protest singers
That they hardly mention us

We may not have tolerance for the Cheeto's antics, but we also don't have any "tour patience."
