Just cut the waste and adjust the budget accordingly would be a helluva start. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've changed my mind recently in terms of American projection of power and the stability it creates along with the dollar being the reserve currency. The Russian war in Ukraine is an excellent example of how the US runs the show. The world is tied to us on any and all sides: Reserve currency Military Buying power (consumers) Even with that change in mindset, it's still very obvious the military budge is bloated to the point it's become a Grand Bazaar (William Greider book I think you'd love. He wrote Secrets of the Temple, which strangely enough was the origin point of backing off conspiracies). It needs to be handled and streamlined. I'm not overly concerned about anything at the moment other than ridding our mainstream politik of these fucking traitors to our country, at a ton of levels, organically through our elections. They openly want Christian Nationalism with the Golden Diaper as their king. It's out of this world weird, but that's objective number one. After that deal with the tax cuts. Then deal with streamlining and bringing the Military Industrial Complex into at least a streamlined budget. There's no reason they should be costing 1.3 trillion a year.

Starkiller Posted June 25, 2024 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2024 https://www.yahoo.com/news/crew-files-bribery-complaint-against-191600554.html The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has filed a criminal bribery complaint urging the Justice Department to investigate former President Trump’s solicitation of campaign donations from fossil fuel executives. The former president met with oil industry executives in April and asked for $1 billion in campaign contributions, The Hill reported last month. The Washington Post, which first reported the request, also reported that the former president described the donations as a “deal” and said that in a second term, Trump would unwind Biden administration regulations on industry. A person with knowledge of the meeting who confirmed the request to The Hill denied it involved a quid pro quo agreement. The chairs of the Senate Budget and Finance committees have also announced a joint investigation into the meeting, with Budget Chair Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) calling it the “definition of corruption.” “Donald Trump’s actions here follow a pattern of Trump opening himself up to corrupt influence, courting conflicts of interest, and using official positions to enrich himself–and in this case may run afoul of the criminal law.” MadMax, nine, and begooode 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's perplexing to me is that his followers are devoted and don't care. He could scream at the ceiling "fuck, fuck, fuck, I'll grab them all by the pussy" and they won't care. They're voting for him. Is he worried the people he was speaking to might not vote for him if he loses the debate? Nonsense. Is he reaching out to people on the fence with this? More nonsense. The information highway. Jesus, how fucked up did that become? Smart people doing smart things.....didn't realize how it empowered segments of society to do things not so smart. Both sides though.

I remembered the word traitor being thrown around in the forum, but it was a long time ago and I can't find it, and I don't care enough to hunt it all down. The media definitely went hard after Kelly, though it has softened tremendously since he wrote his book basically badmouthing Trump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it may happen, but I’d think demographically he’d benefit more from Marco Rubio or Tim Scott. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
