This from Scott Bessent yesterday (h/t to @atrupar.com):

This is a man worth approximately $600 million. This was his house in Charleston, SC (it’s referred to as the “Pink Palace”.

And by “soybean farmer” he means he owns land in North Dakota that he rents to tenant farmers, and, per his financial filings, he makes between $100K and $1 million per year from rent (not actually… farming).

One doesn’t want to be overly descriptive, but these guys have no shame; he’s absolutely as d-bag.

Dems need to run nonstop ads in every farm/ag state with his pithy quote, pictures of his mansion and verbiage that states how Trump’s gave Argentina a $40 billion bailout while pushing China to buy soybeans from Argentina instead of the US. Maybe throw in that this all took place during a gov’t shutdown where many farmer’s health insurance premiums wen though the roof.. Priorities.

The Democrats have been given so many amazing sound bites, but they aren’t using any of them.

Where’s the endless loop of Karolyin’ Leavitt saying Trump’s top priority is the ballroom?

Where’s the endless loop of Ted Cruz saying they need to protect pedophiles?

Even when Democrats don’t say batshit crazy things, Republicans will manufacture outrage and invent reasons to be upset. Why can’t Democrats do that with things Republicans actually say?

Trump's promise to open the California coast to oil drilling should be running as a Yes on 50 ad all week
