How do you feel about Trump saying they can’t fund Medicare, Medicaid, and daycare programs anymore because they need the money to fund the War?

Trillions, wasn't it? Surely they can spare a few bill for the unfortunate?

/s aside.... its because they intend to steal that tarriff money on the way out the door

Duh! Because all us citizens already got that money in the tariff kickback checks he's been sending since day 1! We're all rich now!

I see the /s but just to be clear for anyone who isn't sure:  American companies and citizens pay those tariffs. Some foreign countries may *collect* that money on your behalf, but I promise you that not one of us had paid you a dime. It's all you. Whatever he steals on his way out the door came out of your pocket. 

Bibi gets a war criminal partner and Trump gets to not talk about being a pedophile in the Epstein files.

Yeah where was this money that is suddenly unavailable for medicaid a year ago when there was no war going on?

This is gonna go down as the biggest blunder since the Germans marched through Belgium in World War I

Ever see the terrain they’ll be fighting in? It should be avoidable at all costs. Besides, didn’t we “win this war” like 3 weeks ago at this point?

The US just randomly attacked a foreign nation, with 0 potential upside even IF you remove ethics or morality The US military is basically the most well funded Israeli hit squad in the world. And once trumps engaged his ego will never let him back down. Get ready to pay out the nose to achieve tremendous losses no one's ever seen before. Tossing your money into the endless US military expense pit, dead americans, dead Iranians, solidifying unity under the iranian regime, trump endlessly escalating until he nukes them because he cant handle "losing", environmental disasters from oil ship after oil ship being blown up, the straight being closed for anyone friendly with the US, Russia and Iran gaining allies and influence for oil, US currency being rejected for the Chinese currency, The list is literally endless. I genuinely cant think of a single benefit for the US, other than if you really needed to make israel, China, or Russia happy for *some reason*

They're just making sure that war against the rich is inevitable.

Not only avoidable, he’s actually the causation behind the whole reasoning we’re there now. We had a decent Iran nuclear deal in 2015, look it up, it wasn’t perfect, but it was good. We essentially lifted sanctions on a run that had been in place for years and gave them access to hundreds of billions of dollars that were tied up in frozen accounts all over the world. In exchange, we got access to their facilities we limited how much uranium they could enrich into what extent, and we also removed most, if not all of their central fuses that are required to further enrich uranium. Then in 2018 Donald Trump comes along and rips that up. Mind you, this deal was widely accepted and agreed upon by the broader international community, including Europe and even Russia and China. So by tearing this deal up, we’ve essentially already paid or given access to a run to tons of money in exchange for them doing things or not doing things in the agreement and then we just ripped that agreement up after they’ve already been paid. So now we have no bargaining leverage. All we can do is further sanction them which only penalize them in the future, and they almost certainly started their uranium and their nuclear program up again. On top of that, and perhaps most importantly, the Iranians and a lot of countries around the world, realized at that moment that you can’t trust the United States of America to stick to a deal. Essentially the next president can come in and rip a deal up that was signed legally three years ago and there’s nothing you can do about it. So now we’re in a position where we’re trying to make a deal with a ran after bombing the literal shit out of them and it just so happens that the president that’s in office is trying to do a deal is the same president that shit all over the deal that they had that would’ve prevented most of this from even happening to begin with. You cannot make this shit up! We’re pretty fucked.

feels like a lot of this could’ve been avoided way earlier tbh

Because Trump is the no new wars president who was awarded all this cool peace prize stuff... They probably also want to distract from the whole Charlie Kirk thing being an inside job to try and create Horst Wessel 2.0 since the trial is going on now. Vance must have really been infatuated with Erika. She's like Helen of Troy, men would kill for her I guess.

Because homeboy "had a feeling we'd get attacked."

Hadn’t heard “Epsteinth time” before. Marvelous!

Because someone realized Trump has Frontal Lobe Dementia and can’t tell reality from fantasy. I have a theory that someone woke him up that night and told him that Iran was going to send bombs to DC and he needed to act first. Hence the 3am “press conference” after Iran had already agreed to destroy their uranium supplies. My guess is a drunk dept of “war” head decided it would be fun to play with his toy soldiers. But I’m just guessing. *edited for typos caused by low caffeine levels…

They're not choosing war over healthcare. They're choosing donors over constituents and war is just the invoice.

The both sides are the same people piss me off the most

Never have either.

Exactly BUT If Trump’s could capitalize on healthcare he would. He literally created a government website called TrumpRX . Gov it’s just that he’s such a bad businessman that it isn’t successful. That’s why he has to cheat/bully people into giving him things. You can bet your bottom dollar if TrumpRX was successful he’d be pumping billions of dollars into it somehow the way he’s pumping money into ICE / DHS / etc But if he isn’t promoting from it he doesn’t want you to have it

And we can afford tax cuts for businesses and billionaires but the weakest, youngest, oldest and most vulnerable can f*** right off.

We'll have no trouble affording ICE either, and it won't surprise me if they turn it on all of us.

Anything designed to help the average American and Republicans cry all day about how expensive it will be. But when it comes to some foreign war, it's a blank check.

I’d see if you can help her use cost plus drugs https://www.costplusdrugs.com/medications/insulin-pen-needle-31g-x-6-mm-miscellaneous-30/

Man I wish there was a way I could help her. I don't live in the US and it's not possible for me to send her any otherwise I would, as insulin is free in my country. I really hope she manages to get her insulin.

It'll take millions of peoples' family members to die before y'all even **start** to do something about it, and it's designed that way, so the rich can fill their pockets as much as possible before paying back a small fraction of what they stole

Same. My parent lost coverage for dementia meds and anti anxiety meds. Just the perfect combo for misery for everyone.

How did she vote?

These people remind me of Mr Krabs lol *Donate to the children's fund?! What have CHILDREN ever done for ME*

I lived throught the 1980s. These last 2 years have been a repeat of those years. This statement about wars, Medicaid, Medicare and daycare sounds like the policians back then. Reagan was awful. (Like Thatcher in Britain) Reagan never said the word "AIDS". Couldn't bring himself to acknowledge men dropping dead left and right. Couldn't fund social safety net programs then either. He fell asleep in meetings too. He was diagnosed with dementa and died from it.

Makeshift patriots

What a weird way to thank us for our service.

Anyone that believed him in the first place is not going to care. He can do no wrong.

No but they do take millions of dollars from each of them every month

I'll risk it. "Think about how stupid the average person is. And realize that half of them are stupider than that." - George Carlin

Wild that a quote from one of the most famous American comedians of all time that essentially just gives the definition of the word "average" is considered hateful

its Listnook lol. the most sensitive forum of members and mods

That can be shorten too: Don’t start wars.

Yep, Trump raped kids for decades with his best friend Epstein and MAGAs support it...

I asked this question over in r/asktrumpsupporters a while back, the answer I got was because it would mean a weaker military. Americans are the stupidest most fearful people on the planet, willing to f*** themselves over because they think the world is coming to get them.

American voters are very consistent on this point, actually. They want health care. They want housing. They want high-paying jobs. However, they also want to make sure that *other* people (anyone they happen to perceive as undeserving) **don't** get those things. Unfortunately, as we've observed, the second desire is the one that wins out.
