24. I got gas the other day and applied a .40/gal discount I'd earned.

AFTER the discount, it was $5.59/gal (I’m in CA). Nearly $60 for 1/2 a tank.

Then I went to the grocery store, where I now seem unable to spend less than $200, no matter how few bags I leave with.

All the while, this bastard is building a monstrosity of a ballroom and a triumphal arch (both of which he’ll slap his stupid name on), painting over our national heritage in Real Estate Huckster swimming pool blue, and covering every WH surface in vulgar, tacky, tasteless gold leaf, all on our dime.

He doesn’t care any more about nukes in Iran than he does any of the above. And he can f*ck all the way off.
