Love Hunger Games, but only able to watch the first one. The parallels between our society and that movie absolutely kills me.

Trump gets a $400 million dollar plane and the FAA has to buy parts from eBay. Now that’s what I call corruption.

Right?? You can’t even make this shit up!! Using entertainment to determine a desperate person’s future while making money for others. 🤬 I have used this word so many times since tRump took office, but once again… UNCONSCIONABLE!!

$45 million for the birthday parade? And this comes from a so-called fiscal conservative who is wanting to investigate abuse and fraud?

Is there a list of MAGA/Trump supporters that this can be mailed and emailed to??? They need to see this in black and white.

Tornado season is already underway and FEMA denied assistance for the last major one in the Plains.

So calling for Pence to be killed in the center of government isn’t an assassination call but Comey’s move is? This regime needs a circle of mirrors

86 is a term used in restaurants daily and it just means out of it. 86 the special! It has nothing to do with threatening someone’s life! Why don’t these morons deal with actual situations that were promised during campaign season. This country is a fucking embarrassment to the world 🌍 When is someone in congress going to put there big boy/girl panties on and end this massacre of our country. So sick of it!

We've become a nation that is quick to judge with words and reactions on many social platforms (an easy and "safe" way) to challenge, rebuke and poke the offenses. To actually physically, and mentally apply "work" to correct what is a travesty is rare and at a cost ( monetary, risk of retaliation?!). Lip service and throwing our verbal weight around is damaging and yet a constitutional privilege (well mostly). It's an impossible catch 22.

Our Congress is full of cowards and Americans are becoming just plain mean and nasty non-empathetic people every day. Typically fat and pasty white, the MAGA millions only pay attention to what their Rep and Senators do if they happen to vote against Trump. The preacher man at their holy roller churches drills into their semi-awake heads that Trump is holy as he is the second coming of God divinely chosen to rule America so no one forgets how special they are. America has become a nation of seriously overweight and bored people glued to their Lazy Boy chairs that expect their news to be one big game show. The majority have never served in the military and thus have not travelled outside the country save for a week once or twice a year on a Caribbean cruise or an all inclusive resort. Other than ordering another beer or margarita their interactions with foreigners are only to demand what they want next and maybe imagine with each additional cerveza or margarita what sex with a local be like. Land of the Constantly Entitled. Home of the Insatiably Entertained.

The TV show has to be a red herring. What are they doing that they don't want us to know about.

Not only is this disgusting about a game show where people can be entertained but it's just a way to collect all the information and deport them anyway

Next time Comey will need to collect more shells to say “Impeach 46.” More work, but worth the effort.

WTF! This is like the Squid Games! They want to exploit them while treating them inhumane?!!! So, what happens to the losers? They are then deported?!!! This is abhorrent!

There is no bottom with these people. No instance they won’t exploit. The joy they get from the suffering of others is something I will never get used to. These people are broken. They’re monsters and they take pleasure in the cruelty they inflict on others. Just detestable.
