While we close schools and hospitals due to lack of funds

The same military forces you plan on using against American citizens?
Better protect the shithole from… I don’t even know what. The threat is inside the White House, so maybe take that out and save like $900 Billion.
The US is gearing up for World War III. And it looks like they're planning on starting it.
I wish this didn't sound so true 😔 we will never have peace in our lifetimes. It'll take 100s more miserable years, and we will likely trigger an apocalypse before we make it better.
Maybe it's time for the crows to have their shot as the dominant species.
Record levels of military spending while the administration is openly blowing up the procurement process to grab fistfuls of cash from the procurement of stuff we neither want nor need.
“ensure our military forces remain the most lethal in the world.”
List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (2020–present)

At the same time, Pete Hegseth is telling soldiers to ignore military law, as the stacked supreme court is trying to force ninth circuits to accept vague and unspecified law changes that allow the executive body to define crime and punishment as they see fit.
I.e centralization of the powers into the white house, distorting the rule of law and preparing to weaponize the army against Americans. If they succeed, Americans can say goodbye to their democracy and hello to their new God emperor.
Just in time to invade Venezuela for literally no reason
I mean they have tons of reasons. Just None they can say outloud.
Millions of barrels of reasons....
Largest deposit of reasons in the world actually.....
I don't honestly think it's oil, it's rare earths we already have oil deposits larger then we can refine locally we don't particularly need their. What we don't have is rare earths, the oil is just a fun bonus to them.
Lol one word. Greed.
But there are tons of other reasons as well. Imperialism, anti communist, "the war on drugs", they hate brown people, etc. Pick one and I bet there's a billionaire pushing for this. If we control 2 of the top five oil deposits that's a win by it's self regardless of we take it out of the ground.
700 billion of that goes to contractors related to Trump
Does this mean the Kids in Mississippi get three meals a day finally?
If you mean the 18year olds enlisted with the military, then yes!
Hey, I have an idea. We can have the military run the school system. That way kids will get 3 meals a day from 5-24 years old!

American citizens sit by and allow this shit to happen.
What would you like me to do? I am one person. I go to protest and call my congressman who is a MAGA. Outside of any metro area it is a sea of fundamentalisms and meth. One third of this country is violently MAGA, a third does not seem to care, and my third is trying but we seem to be drowned out. There are people fighting in legal ways for now. I don't know what it will take to get the sleeping third to wake up. Call me a coward if you like but there will be no shot heard round the world bullshit this time. Just look at what the German people did after Sophie Scholl was executed. Nothing. I guess I just proved your point.
I swear these people are fucking bots and their whole purpose is to drive a wedge. I'm actually seeing a bit of a turn recently on the "America Bad" front, evidenced by an approaching 50/50 split of ups and downs. And I think bot is the best case, because then it's just some keyboard warrior who clearly doesn't understand the situation and parrots some other comments on an article from a biased source that they didn't even bother to read.
Like you, my Congressman is useless. His name is Tom Kean Jr. He's a nepo politician, and as that goes he doesn't deserve to stand in his father's shadow. He's a moderate Republican who is almost impossible to find and takes no stance on anything. We never hear from him. But this district was drawn to mix communities like mine in with communities that vote for him and so here I am.
That more ignorant suggestions (which I don't want to besmirch the OC here, I'm sure they'd go down this path eventually) would have us take up arms against ... whatever. Storm the Capitol, maybe. Any mention of that being stupid is called weak.
So yeah, I'm with you.
And every Russian supports Putin and every Iranian loves religious rule. What a stupid thing to say.
American citizens go to work and don't turn on the news. News is for those who can afford to worry.
More like "Most Americans are so self-absorbed, they can't be bothered until the problems start affecting them directly in their daily lives"
