But Hunter! But Burisma! But China! Shameless hypocrites. All of them. And ‘liberal’ media played the role of useful idiots.

The Cato Institute is a libertarian think tank. It just published a 30-year study showing immigrants paid 14.5 trillion dollars more in taxes than they received in government benefits. Every single year. For thirty years. Without exception. The country was lied to. Here is what the study found.🧵

“At 2:19 pm on Saturday, Donald Trump became the first President to complain that war is ‘too much time wasted on travel, too much work.’” ~ @Lawrence

@daborer Agree.
