At this point, what difference does it make?

Betrayal? We could cut all aid and the entire Military Budget outside of healthcare, and we would still be in debt

Thanks for pointing out the obvious

The US Government will spend $6.1 trillion this fiscal year ... that's 6,100 billion dollars (vs. 4.4 trillion in revenues)

The Ukraine-Israel-Taiwan package ($95 billion) is only 1.5% of that

Yet certain Freepers here moan endlessly about that $95 billion, "in the interests of the US taxpayer", but then say squat about the other 98.5% of the budget

No complaints, and no threads ever posted, about the bloated federal bureaucracy, the pork and wasteful spending, the built-in inefficiencies, the sheer overspending, etc. - all the things that are causing REAL damage, long-term

Just an obsessive focus on that 1.5% ... like the climate kooks are obsessed with the 1.3% of the atmosphere that is CO2 ...

You still don’t get Trump. He tries to steer people to do the right thing with praise. Nothing more, nothing less. DeSantis ran a horrible campaign. Deal with it and start thinking of the future of our beloved republic instead of butthurts that cloud your judgement.

When Republicans get an ideological majority, they can choose a speaker who will oppose Ukrane funding no matter what. Until they do, rule or ruin by the right will lead to ruin because we don’t have the votes.

Oh I get it. We shouldn't necessarily take Trump at face value. We need to digest and discern what he really means to say. Well thanks for clearing that one up for me.

And who said I was a supporter of DeSantis? I am a registered independent or "unaffiliated" here in NJ. I maintained I would support the most conservative candidate who was in the general. I voted Trump twice and will do so again the November.

Sorry, I confused you with another FReeper. Victory will be ours, otherwise our country is finished.

Far too many of the “Republican” office holders are loyal to the Democratic Party.

Johnson took a stand with the Maoists to prove the government is ran by one party only.

Russia is one of their fear decoys for the money shuffle once a country is broke it’s prime time for the take over.
