as they continue to pamper their self-proclaimed "billionaire" republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

If the republican scumsucker is so rich, he can pay for his own freaking golden gourmet golf, chocolate cake, and two scoops of ice cream.

There are Americans who could benefit from having our tax money spent wisely and justly. But republicans PISS on honor and decency, and instead lard out the gourmet goodie touches for the TreasonWeasel Comrade Casino.
