Sad isn't it?
Sorry, I just want to make sure that people know that the tweet is satire. Rep. Jack Kimble is not a real person, and this was in response to Trump's tweet about Biden being President on January 6th, 2021.
Ah! Thank you for the clarification. I didn't see anything about it being satire but then again I could've missed it.

There's quite a bit of information about this persona when you search the name. It's interesting how much has been put into creating this persona.

Insane GOP Telegram Chat Rips Off The Mask
Rick Wilson
Oct 15, 2025

Yesterday’s leak of an internal Young Republican Telegram channel wasn’t some anonymous 4chan cesspit or a fever swamp thread from rando incel with anime avatars.

It was a private chat populated by state and national elite Young Republican leaders, men and women in their 20s and 30s already working in politics, already drawing government paychecks, already courting donors and staffing offices, casually swapping “I love Hitler” riffs, Holocaust gags, rape “jokes,” and racist slurs like they’re passing canapé trays at a fundraiser.

Let’s be absolutely, painfully clear about what landed: thousands of messages across months, not a stray outburst or two. This is just one of hundreds of Telegram channels, Signal chats, Discord groups, and email chains with this kind of tone and moral filth.

Names in this chat you’d find on state party org charts and legislative payrolls show up again and again, marinating in bile. There’s Peter Giunta; until yesterday a rising New York YR figure and a legislative chief of staff, talking about sending internal opponents to the gas chamber.

Image

There’s Bobby Walker, vice chairman of the New York YRs tossing in “epic” rape quips. There’s Kansas YR vice chair William Hendrix, a man who has never felt the touch of a live woman unless she was tied in his basement masturbatorium, using racial slurs like punctuation.

This wasn’t a slip of the mask.

This is the face of today’s rising class of MAGA GOP leaders.

MAGA: Make Argentina Great Again

Trump Treasury Sec Reveals Argentina Bailout Is Actually Twice as Big


Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling
Wed, October 15, 2025 at 2:56 PM EDT 2 min read

One day after Donald Trump celebrated a multibillion-dollar bailout for Argentina, his administration moved to double the ante.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters at the Treasury building Wednesday that the United States is “working on a $20 billion facility that would be adjacent” to the $20 billion credit swap line Trump already approved, totaling $40 billion in assistance for the economically fragile South American country.

“Many banks are interested in it, and many sovereign funds,” Bessent said. “It is a private-sector solution to Argentina’s upcoming debt payments.”

The aid is intended to salvage Argentina’s collapsing economy ahead of the country’s October 26 midterm elections. That vote will determine if Argentine President Javier Milei, one of Trump’s international allies, will maintain the ability to pursue his dramatic cost-cutting agenda.

But there’s another notable beneficiary of the Trump admin’s Argentina bailout package: major hedge funds led by Bessent’s friends. Several major investment funds, including BlackRock, Fidelity, and Pimco, stand to significantly gain from the aid transfer, as do several independent investors with ties to Bessent, The New York Times reported earlier this month.

Bessent described the exchange Wednesday as an “economic Monroe Doctrine,” referring to the 1823 policy that rejected European intervention and colonialism in the Western hemisphere.

“Much better to use the heft of the U.S. economic power rather than have to use military power,” Bessent continued, comparing the situation to the supposed “narco traffic coming out of Venezuela.”

But the White House’s planned Argentina bailout is remarkably hypocritical for an administration that has axed critical executive agencies under the auspice of slashing spending.

Stateside, the government is still shut down over how to fund Trump’s “big, beautiful” budget, which included cuts of billions from Obamacare subsidies and Medicaid—a shutdown that Bessent himself claimed Wednesday was costing America “$15 billion a day.”

And the U.S. will likely need a bailout of its own very soon. American soybean farmers have been pummeled by Trump’s tariff policies, which have ripped the Chinese market from their grasp. However, after it came to light that Argentina had replaced the U.S. as China’s top soybean supplier, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC that the anticipated Argentina-bound cash infusion had morphed into a “credit swap line.”

Of course Milei did like others already have

Then why bail out Argentina and maybe others, when USA can not bail out struggling families who can not pay for basic necessities

I thought about the same, but I did not think of the word INCEL.
Went more British, if I may say.
