'They [Democrats] want to tell you what kind of car you can drive, what sources of information are credible, and even how many hamburgers you can eat.'

Mitch McConnell, Aug 28, 2020

Today Republicans are telling us that we can only buy cars that are made in America and are obstructing electric vehicles, CNN/MSNOW are banned from the White House because Trump doesn't feel they're credible, and the AgSec says don't eat hamburgers if you can't afford the higher beef prices we caused.

Pretty sure the only things he's eating right now are whatever they can liquefy to send through a tube.
