I am sick of the nonstop political content on here, so tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this totally apolitical Same Shit Different Hat tshirt. Even if you put a different hat on, you're still the same person deep down. It's a beautiful message we can all appreciate.
https://collabs.shop/g71b6j

A dark heather gray t-shirt featuring a graphic with four different hats in a grid. Above the grid is the text "SAME SHIT" and below it is "DIFFERENT HAT" in red capital letters. The hats shown are a Ku Klux Klan hood, a Nazi SS officer's cap, a red "Make America Great Again" baseball cap, and a Confederate flag kepi.

Premiums for Obamacare are about to go sky high unless subsidies are extended, millions will lose their healthcare, and this is what Trump tells Dems who want to sit down and negotiate.

The image is a screenshot from Politico discussing a political standoff. Democrats are pushing Republicans for a bipartisan stopgap spending measure, including extending Affordable Care Act subsidies expanded in 2021, set to expire by year's end. President Donald Trump criticized the Democrats' demands as "unserious and ridiculous" ahead of a Tuesday night deadline, with a White House official quoting him as saying, "on second thought, go f ck yourself."
