    I find it mildly humorous this is getting instant news. Its quite obvious this is purely political driven to get the bill to pass.

    Russia nuking a country = end of Putin regime
    Russia nuking LEO = All countries sanctioning Russia which also ends Putins regime

    And WTF would Russia use a nuke in space when a conventional bomb would serve the same purpose.

    So, are you saying that Mike Turner (R) is playing politics with national security to get the Ukraine aid bill passed?

    Speaker's Johnson added, "I will consult with President Trump, He (capital letter 'H') will know what I should do."

    Based on what?

    Again, we keep lowering taxes and increasing spending. We need to reverse both.

    Crazy Socialist that Eisenhower was...

    Corporate tax rate was ~50%
    Personal top bracket was ~90%

    Now go look at it now, and look at the middle class then and now.

    I find it disturbing that you are focusing on regime change over the destructive yield of a modern nuclear weapon on any metropolitian in the world.

    There will be no normal in the post nuclear detonation. Hundreds of millions in the US alone would perish in the first year from a nuclear attack on our relatively depopulated silos in the western US.

    We currently have a $1.7 trillion deficit and a $34 trillion dollar debt.

    How much new revenues do you believe you can raise via new taxes per annum? Getting back simply to $0 is not good enough. You need a massive surplus to begin paying down the debt.

    You think you're going to levy new taxes which not only raise another $1.7 trillion per annum but also exceed that and give us a surplus to pay down the debt? Give me a break.

    Cut spending? Where are you going to cut spending from? By how much?

    The total wealth of all the billionaires is something less then $5 trillion dollars. Even if you confiscated every red cent of every billionare in the United States you'd reduce the debt from $34 trillion to a measly $30 trillion.

    #753 Example of Space Ghost knowing nothing but having STRONG OPINIONS

    I'm sure you will.

    Sure. Nukes is right at the top of the list.
    Dunking on people is your greatest skill ever.

    Very suspect. I mean, what has Russia done in the recent past to make anyone think they're a threat of any kind?

    And a GDP of $24 trillion.

    Do you actually think debts are actually paid off like a credit card? That would be a mistake in thinking.

    So we shouldn’t raise federal taxes from historically low levels because it won’t solve everything? Give me a break….

    An aging population and the military is where the vast bulk of spending comes from. Again it’s political, not structural.

    Perfect is the enemy of good.

    The fact you are so dismissive of raising revenue is just silly.

    @ROXRAN
    @Salvy

    Did Russia have a script for Blade where Blade is a straight Black male vampire killer instead of a gay vampire killer where his lesbian daughter is more powerful than him?

    If so, I'm all for the Russians

    Destroy this woke thing called disney

    Did you know you can pay more than you owe? Why not raise your own taxes instead of encouraging the government to take from me
