@AkaSci he forgot to mention the part where he will first redefine "citizen" to mean "white landowning republican man"

@AkaSci
I’m impressed that Trump didn’t say he’d give the dividend to everyone who votes Republican. We know he wouldn’t give it to anyone who votes Democrat.

[aburka@hachyderm.io]

@AkaSci also, this is funny, but I wonder if you could use it to needle Republicans who believe it might happen, e.g.

would this be a good idea? why?
shouldn't it be means-tested? why not?
what does that imply about other government benefit programs?

@AkaSci Keep the #&$%#$%! money, I just want to follow the impending trials atbthe Hague for the next year and a half as compensation for 2016-2020 to 2025-present

@AkaSci Buying votes is still illegal in this country. Even if it's a lie.

[thriftwicker@mastodon.social]

@pewnack @AkaSci Yeah, good thing we don't have to worry about that...

[thriftwicker@mastodon.social]

@AkaSci This is total bullshit. BUT, if he and his family are ever held accountable, I want every fucking god damned cent they made in office taken and distributed back to the people and the programs that help them. I expect nothing less.

@AkaSci So more helicopter money. Maybe instead of borrowing moneh to give everyone 5000 dollars how about cutting government spending by 5000 dollars per taxpayer and using the money to pay off the debt.
