        Go fuck yourself. Said on behalf of all the people you don't give a shit about. I am able to use more eloquent language, yet chose not to.

        Huh, so empathy is sending money to bureaucrats in Washington, who then send it wherever they choose? 🤔 Makes perfect sense.

        Cut wasteful federal budget; tax less; less federal regulations; educational choice; local initiative. #federalism #subsidiarity

        Personally I don't think it's a waste to feed or get healthcare for poor people. I'd prefer if we bombed less people though.

        seriously though. do you have a source on this "he didn't know who won" thing? because that would be huge if true.

        He should of said, "GOP don't give a shit about poor people." That would have been more accurate.
