    Do your best to advocate for the dismantling of the MIC and the reallocation of resources. That's the best anyone can do.

    Taking the cynics position is lazy and unhelpful.

    Oh, I am sure a deep military thinker like you needs to know how old tanks are or how full the parts supply lines are so that you know whether or not to agree with trump and think we should help putin out and withdraw from NATO...

    History. When’s the last time the right increased investment in healthcare or education? All my friends on the right do is b**** about how universities turn kids liberal…. Ignoring the fact that my degree helped me earn my paycheck.

    Yea, the actual military capabilities of our NATO allies is relevant. Just going with NaTo HaS TanKs isn't very helpful. Clearly impresses you though. He look at those shiny 1960s tank's over there kiddo!

    Being someone who wants to see a large scale reduction in the MIC and a decrease in America's international military commitments isn't a Trump thing but nice try with that disingenuous nonsense.

    "Kiddo... " yea, sure. I am 63. Just another reason to roll my eyes at anything you post... which probably work better on your trumpster facebook and youtube feeds.

    I would have assumed wearing blackface was a requirement to run as a modern day Republican.

    I'm going to point out the NATO Alliance has benefitted the US far more than just militarily. By keeping Western Europe as becoming part of the Warsaw Pact allowed those countries to build up economies that are major trade partners with the US. A big part of the US economic success following WWII has been trading with countries that had been devastated by the war but were able to rebuild into vibrant economies.

    This is the problem that too many look at the situation as a zero sum game without considering that these are long term investments that pay off not only from a military security standpoint but also economically.

    Rep. Tom Leatherwood, the author of the bill, told us via email on Wednesday that " we are amending the bill to explicitly say if both parties have attained the age of majority... defined in Tennessee Code as 18 and older."

    "My position is that the legislation would not have ever allowed minors to marry because it forms a marriage contract. Minors have not reached the age of consent," Rep. Leatherwood says.

    She's as much of a hypocrite as Ted Cruz!


    “On our show Tuesday night, M.T.G. — ‘Klan Mom’ as we call her — earlier in the day called three of her fellow Republicans ‘pro-pedophile’ for supporting Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court — which is lovely. A lovely thing to say. So I made a joke. I said, ‘Where is Will Smith when you need him?’ And the audience laughed. And then she saw it, and she decided she was going to get some political mileage out of this.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

    “She called the police. Not only did she call the police, she called the same police she voted against giving a congressional gold medal to for defending our Capitol against the insurrection she helped incite on Jan. 6. That’s who she called — the people she wanted to defund.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

    “It’s amazing how quickly you can go from ‘These liberals! You can’t say anything anymore’ to ‘What did you say? I’m calling the cops!’ Must be that cancel culture they’re always talking about.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

    “So I, after processing the fact that someone called the police on me — believe it or not, that has never happened to me in my life — I tweeted back, ‘Officer? I’d like to report a joke.’” — JIMMY KIMMEL

    “This woman, remember, she is the one who endorsed fringe conspiracy theories and repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians. Now she’s dialing 911 because she got made fun of.
    She’s a snowflake and a sociopath at the same time — a ‘snowciopath.’” — JIMMY KIMMEL

    “And nobody does anything. I feel like maybe other Republicans like having her around to make the rest of them seem normal.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

    ...voted in by a rural district in Georgia. I wonder if MGT or some of her voters were the result of in inbreeding.
