Literally the dumbest person alive is Trump. Sorry, not the dumbest... just the one person who doesn't care about anyone. And that includes you, the people who vote for him. WAKE THE FUCK UP.
I’m lowering my odds that he has it to 20/80. No one knowing anything, the chaotic fumbling of getting stories straight, the car ride and visiting veterans while he’s there, it just seems even too dumb for this administration. I’ve seen better drama at a high school.
Donald Trump is a waste of oxygen. Hospital should let him go back to the WH. Use those hospital resources and our tax dollars on someone (anyone) worth saving.
Fuck that shit. We spend nearly 65% of our discretionary dollars on defense. Over 12x what we spend on education. Over 10x what we spend on health. Take your nukes and shove them up all your military lobbyists asses while you're at it.
Advocating for increased gun control is included. Increasing gun control has never shown to lower violent crime or murder rates. In any country. If course we can afford to do those things without cutting military. Medicare for All costs less (though nearly as much) than what we currently spend on Healthcare, and nearly everybody gets better care. And the 1% should pay for enough of it that the rest of us actually save money. This would reduce violent crime and murder rates more than any gun control. And the resulting healthier population would be far more beneficial to the economy, not to mention the fact that people will not have to worry about losing healthcare if they want to start their own business. Housing First costs less than having homeless people and further reduces violent crime and murder rates, again almost certainly by more than any gun control would. And by reducing recidivism could have a very positive impact on the economy. There are far more efficient ways to reach our goals. Many countries have already shown how to solve these problems (or at least drastically improve on them). But the military isn't stopping us from doing anything, even if we agree that it could be run much more efficiently. Shifting portions of the military to more humanitarian and R&D type endevers could return ample value to the economy without cutting military jobs or funding. But yeah, if you're going to try and attack military funding you're going to get a lot of push back. And you'll drive a ton of funding to both the RNC and DNC.
first of all, why are you posting this shit in this thread? and this makes 0 sense. we spend more on the military than the next 10 countries combined. that needs to fucking stop.
I saw somebody talking about it earlier in the thread and just forgot to hit reply. We do more with our military than most countries. Our military spending can give us an amazing amount of soft power and good will of we use it logically. And in doing so it can pay for itself. We haven't been using it logically for a few decades.
Good will? Have you been under a rock the last 20 yrs? the rest of the world hates us. Yes let's be the world police and barge into countries and start bullshit wars again. how about we take out our own dictator and fix our own broken fake democracy first?
Sorry, but it triggers me. Our excessive military spending is a massive issue for me. Advocating that we don't need to cut it is something I vehemently disagree with.
Agreed. Look at what Oliver Stone said recently when speaking about military intelligence sources: "We're at a moment in time where anything, anything about China or Russia is being broadcast loudly to the American people," Stone told Maher. "We have a very effective western media that does this all the time. You have to go back- and you have been skeptical in the past, why do we need enemies? Why do we need these enemies? Why do we want to make this into an issue? Why?"
