@JayMysteri0 Glad to see @Huntn00 is finally good for something. 😉
@JayMysteri0 Dude, glad to see you here, you audience just grew by a thousand fold. 😃

@Huntn00 The misadventure in Iraq cost US about $2 trillion by some estimates. One cannot put a price on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people lost, the loss to humanity of archaeological sites and artifacts of human history.
I can't help but feel a bit emotional when I remember how I and many others tried to prevent it. We were helpless to do so. 😔

@Huntn00 Not sure if the war would still be going on if trump were in charge. I believe he would have betrayed Ukraine at the outset to gain favor with Putin.
@Badger_AF it goes something like this: Children are the sacrificial lambs, at least immigrant types, (not the kids we care about personally) for the glory of the Party and the special values we reserve for ourselves. But you know working at slave wages in dangerous environments gives them backbone to survive the ordeals God will put them through with us calling the shots…🤔

Curious why Moms for Liberty refuses to take up arms against legislation in red states allowing underage marriages or allowing children as young as 11 to work in meat-packing plants—situations where children are either sexualized or put into dangerous situations.

@Barbramon1 And Thump by gawd with his Putin adoration, self centered nature, inability to make friends with European allied leaders, and throwing US Intel under the bus, almost got us figuratively ejected from NATO. Maybe we were (under Trump)? 🤔 I can’t imagine Trump today functioning as POTUS during the Ukraine Russian war.

My signing of the Respect for Marriage Act was the culmination of decades of sacrifice, advocacy, and struggle from generations of heroes who fought to live their truth, so that so many others could live theirs.
But challenges remain.
Now, Congress must pass the Equality Act.
@Barbramon1 Vietnam was supposed to have taught us a lesson. For Desert Storm under Bush Sr it seemed like we had learned it. Then Dubya came along and all was forgotten as IQs suddenly plummeted, a grandiose NeoCon scheme to turn a profit invading Iraq, based on fabricated intel, thank you Dick among others. Plus the long term occupation of Afghanistan, never mind the 9-11 hijackers were Saudis.

@Huntn00 I don't want us to be the world's police. My late brother was a Vietnam vet. We've seen how fighting the wrong wars, whether publicly or secretly, harms our country and others. I feel we should be prepared to defend allies as needed. I strongly believe that we can take care of ourselves and still defend other countries strategically. We have the money to do both, but apparently not the will. Evaluate the budget carefully and reallocate funds. There's enough for both.
@Barbramon1 As a veteran (USN) it's easy for me to say for about 30 years that the US can no longer afford to be the World's police. We are having difficulty just taking care of ourselves (plural).

US military budget on track to reach
one trillion dollars in a not so distant future. It comprises about 12% of federal spending yet faces very little scrutiny. It's sacrosanct. Has been for decades, although US spending dwarfs that of other nations.
It's overkill.
@jennycohn Apparantly she (Michael Farris) has a closet of custom Christian straight jackets, including bonus gags ready for distribution...🤔

If Kari Lake thinks 75 million people will rise up to prevent Trump's time of reckoning, she's even stupider than she's already shown.

You know that Russia, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, and China now have all our military secrets, don't you?

Black & Latinos arrested 6-10X more than whites for decades for the exact same crimes
•MAGAs: Yay law & order!
Black & Latinos given 20% longer sentences than whites for decades for the exact same crimes
•MAGAs: Yay law & order!
Donald Trump indicted for knowingly stealing dozens of classified documents and sharing them with random people, while also claiming he’d prosecute anyone who failed to protect classified documents
•MAGAs: Double Standards!!🤬
MAGA hypocrisy isn’t a bug—it’s the point.

Regarding T****'s unlawful possession of classified intelligence documents
"At the very least, it is an unfortunate coincidence that the Central Intelligence Agency in October 2021 reported an unusually high rate of capture or death for foreign informants recruited to spy for the United States."
