The high cost of government…..

That’s chump change for today’s Martha’s Vineyard dwellers!

Some people take so long to get the words out makes for an expensive speech to say i’ve crapped my pants.

Citizens United has entered the chat…

They shouldn’t even get an honorarium for speaking to their constituents and the military (who do more everyday than those ‘lazy louts’ in Washington) should get a pay raise first ! ! ! !

Obama Democrat

Have you all been reading about NIL, where a college athlete gets paid big bucks just for doing something like attending an alumni meet and greet?

Profitable free speech.

Free speech is for the birds? Free speech is cheap?

“I believe in free speech”….clearly this is NOT the Canadian PM….

Mister “Free Speech Absolutist” Musky is very upset about the constant insults to him on his platform.

Thinnest skin this side an onion!

Inflation has boosted the price tag to a million bucks. Just look at all the donations (bribes?) Trump is receiving prior to his inaugural.

He believes in getting something out of using it.

A very long time ago, after he left office, Reagan gave a speech in Tokyo. Afterwards he was presented with a new Casio digital watch. “Hey,” he exclaimed, “What do you think I am? I was promised $1,000,000.” The person giving. him the watch replied, “We already established that. Now we haggle price.”

$25,000? Paying this chump by the burp, I guess.

Every living President became richer after their term(s), much richer, I just Googled President Carter’s net worth and it is $10 million, much less than anyone’s.

He’d rather have free drinks.

A lot of people might pay DJT to shut up.

Unfortunately, some people only like freedom of speech when it’s being used to defend something that’s hurtful and racist.
