Work on your messaging.
Yeah but you know who it’s great for?
Look no further than a democrat trying to set economic policy for the nation to understand why we have inflation skyrocketing, small businesses dying, supply chain gridlock and no one looking for a job.. Can’t wait for the mid terms to get some grownups into the house and senate
I can't wait until Democrats start judging people by their character rather than the color of their skin. Should be any day now.... MLKDay
It's not a federal issue. Its democratic ran cities issue.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t celebrate MLK if you unconditionally and unquestionably support our racist, amoral, violent, imperialist, militaristic, capitalist and terrorist empire. There is an utter contradiction in doing it.

On MLK Day, Biden says Americans must commit to King's work | AP NewsAmericans must commit to the unfinished work of Martin Luther King Jr., delivering jobs and justice and protecting “the sacred right to vote,” President Joe Biden said. Biden spoke to mark the holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader. Data from work product mine. Look at these graphs and ask yourself why the Median Usual Weekly Earning for White Men who achieve less education almost always MORE than Black men with more education. Sorry, Martin. Frauds like Henry Rogers and Robin D'Angelo have debunked your theory of content of character and a color blind society. It's all about the melanin and pyramid of victimhood. A meritocracy is a problem for those without merit. Anyone who wants to work has a job. Every store is hiring. Anyone who wants to vote can vote. Can the media or Dem party find one person who wanted to vote and couldn't? We just had more people vote in the last election than ever before. Facts before Fiction
