Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo
No, the article is dated March 5th. This is old news.
As long as you're counting location as a resource. Ex. Cuba was an advantageous location for the Soviet Union during the cold war.
Mk, you're not interested, that's what I thought. Cheers.
That is an absolutely wild claim to make.
I need to go to bed, but if you're actually interested in educating yourself, I recommend looking up our interest payments on national debt over time, when social security began running a deficit, debt-to-gdp over time, and the long term impacts of the 2008 financial crisis bailouts.
But if you're just here for the circle jerk, then sure, make whatever baseless claims you want. Later.
Edit: this is actually a pretty good summary I watched recently
You would have to be a very skilled economist to destroy an economy this much in such a short time on purpose
This definitely did not happen over the course of 6mo, nor did it take advanced levels of ineptitude. This didn't even happen over the course of the last 8 years. We've been kicking this can down the road since at least 9/11, and the trickle down mentality that started the ball rolling took hold 25 years before that.
Someone willing to grab the helm could have mitigated a lot of the damage by making a lot of unpopular budget cuts, particularly to the military, and hiking up taxes on the wealthy, but that's not why he's here.
Now we're running an experiment to see how high debt-to-gdp can get for the country with the reserve currency. If we were any other country, we would have already imploded.
it featured “some very inappropriate shows,” including a “Marxist anti-police performance”
So maybe he got it?
"We're there to protect their federal officers, their federal personnel," Sherman said in the interview. "We're there to protect them so that they can do their job."
Negative, commander, you are there to protect the constitutional right of US citizens to safely assemble and express their first amendment right to protest.
Make peaceful revolution possible. That is your duty, son.
That's funny you say that, because this whole ordeal has made me realize that truth does not matter at all, and it's a privilege to be able to live as though it does. But in most countries and throughout most of history, what is true doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is what people believe to be true. And only if you work very hard as a society, and get lucky, do those two things coincide.
Case in point: it could have been the case that Obama was a perfect president who made the best possible decisions to most effectively care for all constituents. But that doesn't matter if right wing media convinces half the country that he's a radical communist terrorist who is ignoring the constitution to enrich his deep state. Regardless of what Obama did, what happens in response is what people believe he did.

Literally yes. I mean, his goal, is to feel like a big boy who can wield an army to silence dissent. The goal of the wealthy around him is to fully dismantle the country so only they are left to pick up the pieces.
Unfortunately, it just doesn't matter. The GOP playbook has been: accuse the other side of doing the bad thing, and then do the bad thing, so that when you get accused it sounds like more of the same.
It doesn't matter if we have 1000 independently verified videos of Elon himself paying vote counters to fake results while holding the newspaper of that day up next to his birth certificate. People against trump will say "yeah, we know", and people for Trump will say, "he won, get over it".
It's the same reason the courts found Trump guilty of falsifying records, and then did nothing: that's not how this situation resolves itself.

For the record, no, it's pitting unconstitutional orders against sworn duty.
I don't want the military to decide any outcomes, but I do think just about time they let everyone involved know that the military's only loyalty is to the people and the constitution. Yes, they take orders from the president, but we have checks and balances for a reason, and I'd feel better if the military just stated plainly their primary goal is to keep it that way.
