    I believe the Defense Department was required by law to have valid accounting practices and pass an audit since the 90s. They have never done it. Their solution is to pay the big accounting firms billions of dollars to run interference. The looting from the defense contractors has been going on since its inception. Its just gotten to absurd levels since WWII.

    I found an article https://thehill.com/policy/defense/...tment-fails-another-audit-but-makes-progress/

    So they can't account for 2.1 trillion dollars. The military industrial complex is robbing us blind and both sides pretend like it's a third rail.

    I guess he hates Trump "privately" but I'd like to see someone contort the logic that Tuck is not for MAGAts.

    Saw a 60 minutes piece about the MIC gouging… $300 valve costs the tax payer $10,000.00….that and the gouging we know from medicare…

    Fraud/gouging/corruption is easily 100s of billions a year.

    We’re suckers.

    I wonder if the family of those 42,000 people think so.

    Trump was the last President, and at this point looks like he will be the Republican nominee for President in 2024 and he has made a number of bizarre statements about Russia and Ukraine.

    Tucker no likey Trump? They hate Rupert more.

    Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact Part Deuce
    Tucker Carlson’s Surprise Exit Stuns People in Donald Trump’s Orbit
    The former president and Tucker Carlson are said to have been on friendlier terms lately, after embarrassing disclosures in Dominion’s suit against Fox News.

    When the texts were released in March, Mr. Trump was wounded and called Mr. Carlson to talk about them, according to a person familiar with the outreach. But the two men patched it up quickly. Since then, they have talked regularly, exchanged text messages and appeared to have a closer relationship than at any time before, according to two people close to Mr. Trump who are familiar with their relationship and who did not want to be identified to discuss their private interactions.

    In an interview with Greg Kelly of Newsmax that was recorded shortly after Mr. Carlson’s departure became public, Mr. Trump offered support for the former anchor. “I’m shocked. I’m surprised,” Mr. Trump said. “I think Tucker’s been terrific. He’s been, especially over the last year or so, he’s been terrific to me.”

    Mr. Carlson did not respond to a request for comment.

    Last year, some of Mr. Trump’s advisers had worried that Mr. Carlson seemed poised to support the potential presidential candidacy of Mr. Trump’s top rival, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida. Mr. Carlson had given Mr. DeSantis plenty of airtime and praised his policies. But over the past six weeks, as Mr. Trump and Mr. Carlson spoke more often, the Trump team felt increasingly confident that Mr. Carlson would not be weighing in for Mr. DeSantis, who has been heavily promoted by Rupert Murdoch’s media properties including Fox News.

    The Trump team liked their odds even more when they learned that Mr. Carlson was disgusted with Mr. DeSantis’s decision, in late March, to call President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia a “war criminal.”

    Senator J.D. Vance, an Ohio Republican who is a close ally of both Mr. Trump and Mr. Carlson, described the Fox News host’s ousting as a shock.
    ...

    One close ally of Mr. Trump said he was happy that Mr. Carlson would not be able to give rocket fuel to any other candidate on Fox’s airwaves. Yet for some candidates in the Republican primary field, the loss of Mr. Carlson could mean a minefield they would have to navigate is now gone from a prominent platform.


    For instance, Mr. DeSantis’s statement to Mr. Carlson weeks ago describing the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a “territorial dispute” set off alarm bells and a wave of criticism among Republicans in Washington and some donors. It represented the beginning of what has been a period of concern about Mr. DeSantis’s expected candidacy from some who had seen him as the best option to stop Mr. Trump.

    A Trump adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the sense in Mr. Trump’s world was that any pro-Trump host at Fox News had something of a target on their back after the Dominion lawsuit.

    You literally spout Russian talking points and you have literally said yourself that you are hoping Trump wins in 24.

    So I guess you make 1.

    Again… you publicly expressed your support for Trump to win in 2024 the day that Biden announced his re-election. Which by definition makes you a Trump supporter.

    Then you could take nearly any anti Ukraine post here that supports the Kremlin narrative to determine that you support Putin.

    So there’s an answer to your question. You.

    There are many other examples too that you could find by merely spending two seconds of your time to look up. The NYT did an article laying out many examples:

    https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/25/technology/russia-supporters.html

    So not only are you self owning, but you are also proving to everyone how much of a lazy ass you are.

    Probably the people who wear the”I’d rather be a Russian than a democrat” shirts to Trump rallies.

    Were you watching the night Tucker said he was rooting for Russia? That was neat.
