Why does the Republican Party hate Americans so much?

The only thing I dislike about this picture is that in order for it to be accurate, the entire building needs to be filled with cookies behind him.

These are only his public cookies. The private cookies are offshore on his private island.

The depressing thing about this is that the rich fuck is actually right. Instead of seeing him as the enemy, both of the poor people just keep fighting against each other for scraps.

i wouldn't call it "right". what he does is morally wrong, but yes, it works as long as the people he pits against each other using media campaigns etc are ignorant about the situation. the picture is meant to make people aware of it, which can help fix the situation. it's very easy to understand like that. even children can see it with the picture, so nobody gets left behind.

I mean, it is the most important one!

Yup! You'd never have expected it from that side, right?
