  1. I have suggested this before and been roundly chided by the crowd here. The new Secretary of Defense has just ordered 8% be cut from the military budget for each of the next five years. That’s over $300 billion. Why is it okay because Trump wants it? Sounds like a Putin dream come true. If anyone here defends this, you are nothing but a shameless sycophant.

    The First Amendment

    Maybe you can explain how refusing a reporter in the white house violates any of the above?

    Not a reporter. A whole news organization. Associated Press. Because they refuse to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as anything else. They don’t call it what Trump says to call it. That abridges their right to call it by either name, or no name, for that matter. Denied access by the commander in chief because they don’t say it the way HE wants. Could it be any clearer?

    Tariffs, tariffs…..wahhhhh. Trump knows what the heck he is doing. Now, will someone tell me again how much inflation this caused?

    None. They haven’t gone into effect. He just paused them on Canada, too. A bluff don’t work for long. He’s a blowhard bluffer who hasn’t a clue to what he’s doing.

    Border Crossings Down 93%!  So you really think they'll be back.  I mean, they might try!  LOL!  BTW -- The Don has been in office how long?   And it's down 93%?!   Why couldn't JoeBama do this?!

    This is the hidden content, please

    If that is true, why were tariffs even necessary?

    Typical liberal mindset. As long as your arse is covered, no one else matters. Your words…..

    I care about all true Americans. Tariffs have been discussed, just didn’t have it’s own thread. They have been pretty effective so far.

    What is a “true American”?

    Illegal aliens cannot get SNAPS, and Medicaid, now

    Yeah, I’m sure the stories to follow of people starving because they aren’t wanted, you know, the aliens the Christ said we are to care for will thrill all the Cristian Nationalist that populate this place.

    If the folks with TDS would actually listen to what Trump said, they may agree with this suggestion. 
     

    I don’t see why sending money directly to the states and bypassing all the red tape would be a bad thing.  All that money paid to fema employees for salary, food, lodging, etc, could be given to the states. 

    We  will have to pay all that money to state employees who will be overrun with responsibility? Economy of scale is a real thing. FEMA needs some retooling. My bet is the states would prefer to not have that responsibility. The governors won’t have the Federal Government to blame when their state by state policies mess disaster victims up. Not politically expedient.

    Change it!!

    Gone ‘til next time, that is. I’m still watching the moron, just not engaging until he does stuff and his peeps keep believing stuff that a sixth grader should know better than.

    So he got a million and turned it into several billion……how stupid😂😂😂

    I refer to people in similar situations (silver spoon and all) as accidents of birth. All they had to go to get it is be born. Remember the song Wind-Up by Jethro Tull on Aquakung?
