It really is amazing to see these former Fox people that Trump picked up be completely and utterly stuck in Fox mode. It tells me that this sort of thing was probably their identity long before they became part of Fox, and is precisely how the ended up on shows there to begin with. Some people are genuinely incapable of growth or change.
So general strike to stop the flow of money, when?
They'll just keep borrowing more. They haven't used real money in ages.
it's more Europe's fight than it is ours
Duh? But ... Who started it? At who's request?
I contest that, how is this Europe's fight? Europe did not sign on to this bullshit, our president did because Israel has proof of him fucking children. Now, they also have proof of many Europeans fucking children, so there is that.
Virginia Foxx out here explaining to literal children that wanton US spending is heading us toward a debt cliff that will destroy the nation, so the climate just has fend for itself, I guess.
Meanwhile, the regime itself is doing ... this.
She told a 10 year old kid that him and his generation are going to have to pay that debt. Like what part of that debt is because of what the government spent on him and his generation compared to what they spent on wars in the Middle East. Because I highly doubt they spent 1 trillion dollars on the kids of America.
Also Trump is going to settle with the IRS for a good chunk of money, which that kid and his generation are on the hook for. The fact that Americans aren't stringing these people on lamp posts is beyond me. They are stealing their children's future.
Most of the debt will amount to corporate giveaways. And over inflated contracts with kickbacks. As well those overpriced budgets that are spent on inflated contracts with kickbacks. The thing many people don't realize about this Administration, is that this is supremely corrupt, everything is for sale, this is Boss Tweed, but Dumber, old and geriatric and controlled by fascists, but run nevertheless like Atlantic City in the olden days.
Remember that taxes and spending are bad unless it's for the police or the military. If it can be used to oppress minorities, then it's ok. If it can be used to uplift minorities (i.e. education, food and medical assistance), then it is bad.
Ok I’ve seen them talk about how Trump rebuilt the military and the Biden closed it.
What the fuck they talking about here? Seems unfounded and devoid of fact, standard fare for sure for them but what do they even point to? The military had never been stronger prior to Trump on account of the 20 year Middle East war.
Now there was no war and Trump ended Afghanistan conveniently shortly after Bidens inauguration, and without a war naturally military spending went down.
I guess that depends on how you look at the military being stronger, are we stronger after supporting this thing in gaza? I would say no. We are stronger for supporting Ukraine, for supporting Gaza we were weaker. That is truth.
No because that was off the cuff. And let’s not forget Kegsbreth has gutted the military personnel, so it’s lost its top minds and experience.
The military build up and a coalition of war in Iraq and Afghanistan etc brought up the military by leaps and bound and the arms industry.
The military leadership was pretty fucked before these Traitors took control.
I refer you to us never having won a war since World War II, I mean unless you count like Serbia or whatever.
There was no Marshall Plan for vietnam, for iraq, for Afghanistan.
We are too mean-spirited to achieve our goals, our stated goals, the goals of our politicians are simply to milk the federal government for money. To borrow money and give it to their Pals which give it back to them. That is the fucking truth. And it's both fucking parties believe it.
