Since 1965, there have been 6 fiscal years when federal spending fell relative to the preceding year:
🔵1965 - LBJ
🔵2010 - Obama
🔵2012 - Obama
🔵2013 - Obama
🔵2022 - Biden
🔵2023 - Biden
No Republican president in the last 60 years has cut spending vs. prior year.
Something that this tough-guy rhetoric obscures: if America’s primary ambition now is to rule the western hemisphere, that is a substantial demotion of American power
*Really* struggle to relate to Americans who long for a strongman.
You want to have to ask Daddy for permission to open a business or bribe one of his cronies to get your kid into school or whatever? Bc that's what life is like under authoritarian governments.
You were born free, by the grace of G-d and the sacrifices of the Founders and the generations after them.
Have some self-respect!!
Yes. @StephenM wants to tear this country apart based on some sick fantasy he’s created about crushing an imaginary armed resistance
Americans don’t want to be at war with each other, we don’t want to hate each other, we don’t want your hysterical bullshit. Do your job, do immigration policy the legal way, and don’t pit the service members we’re all proud of against us. Just stop.
Dropped over Russian positions today:
"Occupier, you do not understand and will not understand why we do not want to be part of your country.
We don't want a dictator like you, at whose will you will soon become manure for our black soil. Perhaps you will become a beautiful sunflower. Or an ear of wheat grown on Ukrainian land.
Freedom and Independence, human life are the main values. But you don't understand that either.
I am sorry that you came to my home with the purpose of killing me and taking what is rightfully mine. Not yours.
But I will kill you without regret, because I am defending my Independence, my relatives and my country.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY OF UKRAINE!"
Trump’s election rigging comes to an end now. California won’t stand by and watch Trump burn it all down — we are calling a special election to redraw our Congressional maps and defend fair representation.
This is a five alarm fire for Democracy. Vote YES November 4.
Those of you who don't know what authoritarianism looks like...this is it. All the gaslighting about previous presidents "what about...!!! Is bullshit. I've been talking about the slide towards NOW for 30+ years. Those earlier concerns were nothing. Now we are HERE.
@exfactorbass@nhoodpublicist I was at my local authentic Mexican haunt last night, On the Border, and this guy knows what he is talking about. Sea of God’s chosen people in there.
