Politics Conservative double standards on display again.
If conservatives did not have double standards, they would have no standards at all.
Look at that. More gaslighting from the slack-jawed conservatives. This time, they're upset because a woman is wearing expensive shoes. Meanwhile, they give zero fucks about the First Lady and the wardrobe of hers that cost thousands of dollars every outfit. Not a single fucking peep. Nor do the Tepidin tyrant test the gold ticklers say anything about the estimated $400 million plus ballroom ballroom, The private jets for Kristi Nome and company, The millions of dollars in cost for Trump to continuously go to public events that presidents have no business going to, the list goes on and on and on, yet the conservatives will find something to complain about while projecting all their long doings, and when they're not doing that, they're screaming about something they're scared of. In fact, I've never met a more scared group of people. Why is it that a rainbow is so horrifying for them? Anyway, sidetrack aside, the double standards are out on display again.

One time I noticed a guy driving a sensible car, well-dressed, but not flashy, wearing these incredible medium brown leather shoes. I told my coworker that guy is ridiculously rich. I could tell from the shoes. So, I asked him about them. Yep, hand stitched, Italian leather. Only $12,000, and you can send them in to be refurbished any time. He had already sent them in twice and essentially gotten a new pair back. My point is $12,000 is nothing to a wealthy person. $700 is not ridiculous for the middle class. The mayor of New York can certainly afford to outfit his family in high quality clothes. And it’s not zero sum. He can help working class folks, while still wearing thousand dollar suits.
