it's incredible how porky will blatantly say what they're not going to do when they get their tax cut and then have trump turn around and say that they definitely will. at least they know what's coming I guess.

Can we please have an international coalition to kick America off the Eurasian landmass?

We got sold up the river so the army men could have their shiny toys. The environment is collapsing but we keep burning piles of monopoly money to build metal gears. Capitalism is a sick joke help us space comrades.

The military personnel that actually maintain and use these overpriced death traps have constantly been complaining to Congress for years about how they don't want more new shit than they ask for. But they keep getting it, which wastes their time on top of the tax money. This is what "military industrial complex" refers to in the US.
Anthony Martin
Did you even read the story about the adjustments? They're always spending more than they're authorized. And it's not even on 'shiny toys'. Most likely just goes to the Cayman Islands.
Christopher Cruz
never heard of cayman islands, what am i about to learn?
Josiah Taylor
"Offshore accounts" It's a big pork barrel for the companies and politicians involved, everyone involved gets massive kickbacks
Hilariously enough, the US military is barely functioning when you start to dig into maintenance issues, it's very notable in the air force and navy

ah, so theyre funding some kind of base there or is it like a swiss bank account? is this where they will go when they abandon america and amp up their terrorizing of the world?

Dear Penny: How can I hide my fortune in the Cayman Islands?
Dear Penny,
I just got a call from a lawyer who told me I’m about to inherit my estranged great-great-uncle’s fortune of over $60 million dollars. Then she told me about the taxes I’ll have to pay on it! I don’t understand why I should have to give away the money I earned through the hard work of being related to a rich person who had no close family or friends. I’ve heard a lot of talk lately about wealthy people hiding money in “tax havens” like the Cayman Islands. What is a “tax haven”? Is it even legal to do that? And how can I get my money there?
remember that story about the pentagon's new fighter jets that cost over 100 billion but couldn't even work properly? It's a literal money hole at this point.

Jones won because so many white republicans didn't vote this time. The 2012 judicial election, the last election Moore won, had higher turnout along with the Presidential election where AL went hard for Trump. This was actually a pretty low turnout election.
Ian Carter
Roughly 63% of the Navy's planes are not flyable. They literally sit on deck and look dangerous but they can't do anything with them. The numbers are even worse with the Marines and the airforce won't say a thing about it either.
It's only going to get worse. Trump plans to actively campaign for the GOP in 2018, which is only going to inflame the left and push away moderates.

Swiss people are the most classcucked and reactionary in Europe. Whenever you see blatant neoliberal apologism and fearmongering it's very likely it's from Switzerland.
Of course, it's the material conditions which are to blame. Capitalism has been rather good for them, as the whole country functions as a personal bank assistent for every tinpot dictator there is.
I can only hope so; but at least the collapse of the Soviet Union was largely peaceful, amazingly so. The collapse of the US also wouldn't signal the victory of a counter ideology, just its total failure. I for once hope for the end of America as much as the next guy, but there needs to be a present and oppositional system present for it to be worthwhile. There's a serious lack of that in the world order right now, as we all know, and Trump bringing America's demise would just confirm the autocratic capitalism of China, Russia.
Thomas Barnes
So when do we invade Erebor?
Ryan Bell
I disagree, I think it'll be time for great experiments and conflicts between all the political tendencies, right and left, and the 21st century form of socialism will come out on top.
I am surprised 21 TRILLION just how someone there must know where all this money went, they can't just keep pretending to be retarded

Even if you chalk it up to "DUMBs" as they're called, $21 trillion is still far, far, far more than would ever be needed.
Landon Richardson
It's probably just some deep state organization that's hoarding wealth and technology so they can survive any coming collapse and ultimately leave humanity behind because they realized that it was possible to do. If there's a conspiracy theory that I'd consider plausible in concept it's the idea of a secret breakaway civilization of the ultra rich.

Communism of the few. They're going to ride out the coming runaway greenhouse in style and luxury.
Brandon Taylor
Saying $21 trillion were just spent without telling anyone is incredibly misleading, actually read the study and records they went through. It's made of accounting records, fraudulent ones obviously, and points toward credit fraud by the treasury and fed.
You aren't helping anything by jumping to batshit conclusions like you are without any evidence or description.
