    Democratic Missouri congressional candidate Cori Bush suggested Tuesday that the federal government should take a cue from the recent movement to defund the police by doing the same to the U.S. Department of Defense.

    ...

    "If you're having a bad day, just think of all the social services we're going to fund after we defund the Pentagon," Bush said

    These people are freaking insane.

    The whole goal of the Democratic Party is to diminish the U.S.A. globally.

    Put the squad in charge, have them surrender immediately to the first country that attacks us and let us get on with our lives living under the rule of Granada or whomever gets here first.
    Maybe I will buy and island first, name it Petoria in honor of family guy, then declare war, win without a shot, and then you will all answer to me.

    We can't defund our war dept. How could we continue with perpetual war for.perpetual peace if.we did that?

    Seriously, we must provide for the common defense..But we have post ww2 never stopped our wars ..Ike warned us about the military industrial congressional complex.. Add to that the national security state and dark money used ....and its obscenely stupid.

    But defunding actual defense given we helped communist China get stronger is stupid..

    Our greatest threat is our ruling elites disembowelling what wins big wars. A big manufacturing base.

    I think they will probably be ok.


    Holding U.S. Treasurys? Beware: Uncle Sam Can't Account For $21 Trillion

    The USS Zumwalt Can't Fire Its Guns Because the Ammo Is Too Expensive

    If an agency cannot account for funds or are unable to see projects at reasonable budgets then they should lose those portions of their funding.
    It is strange that the same people that believe seniors living off 20k a year and families making 2k in food stamps is what is bankrupting this nation but billions in waste and fraud from the military means we should give them more money.

    Fascinating stuff, really

    The desire for a nanny state is never ending.

    These people quite literally never got off the teet and simply can't imagine life without a parental figure caring for them.

    Democrats are becoming fiscal conservatives, albeit targeting different areas than them. Well, that's interesting. Gather around the table, conservatives and democrats you stunningly have more in common than we thought.

    -The Green new scam started with one representative
    -Socialism started with one senator
    -Defund the police started with one violent leftist organization

    They are all mainstream now.

    Reparations, arms confiscation, open borders, court packing - they all started as idiotic fringe leftist ideas inside the Democrat party... and the more idiotic they are, the faster the Left embraces them.
