    private prison companies that charge us a fortune

    I didn’t think I’d discover a new kind of Guy in a Trump speech. A Guy who’s against private prisons, not because of the terrible profit motive, but because the prison companies are making too much profit

      When MSNBC was covering Trump’s fascist power grab - their Pentagon reporter talked about how the funding cuts could impact the military. And she spoke Trump’s own plans for space weapons could be interrupted. Talk about guns and fucking butter.

      I have no doubt that some MSNBC viewers are actually more concerned about stuff like “troop readiness” and goddamned space weapons than they are by the simple reality that if the funds aren’t available there will be total chaos all across America and millions of regular, old Americans - like their neighbors - will face hardships.
