The military still spends money it doesnt need to spend pika

you are not cutting military spending because its the deep state

I feel like everyone talks about the BBB spending bill in the wrong way it does "reduce" the deficit optimistically in the long run, but it would require letting cuts expire when they're meant to... which never happens

and yeah, we're never shrinking the military until boomers die

The military really probably would not notice a 5% cut of funding, especially if it was reinvested properly. bigger GDP = more money anyway for the military even after cuts

though i guess politicians never properly reinvest in anything other than themselves so

Its like university tuition honestly

if you give them more money to work with

WOW, things now cost 5x more

so actually you gave them 0 more money to work with

and you gave whatever military contractor more money

You must spend 80k on this propriotary screw only we make

no you cannot make your own

Trump would get assassinated if he tried to fix that though

military companies do not fuck around

the $200 screw thing has mostly ended

not totally, but procurement is less retarded than it used to be

thats good

yeah, it seems like the military is trying to fix itself up a bit

the big expense now is vet benefits

and if you talk about reforming those, you sound like Hitler

all the money to the boomers

who needs to save for everyone else

So kill all vets

saves your country

got it

total military spending is ~$2.5T/year

tbh just kill all old people in general

payroll is ~10% of that necessary maintenance is 10%

Like I said

71 and over

you die

one time plan

wait did I say that here or my physics club server

here

that was here

Okay

is that really something you would say in your physics club server? haha

it's not even a mandatory kill thing, just don't pass any costs onto the rest of society

I got yelled at 2 weeks ago for discussing incest anime

if you're 80 and the ambulance has come to visit you 5 times this week to check on you because you keep falling

you're the problem

Even in his first term Trump always got uncomfortable about the Epstein topic and dodged interview questions

And yes, I'm sure there's a lot of names on Epstein's list that had little to do with him at all and will be caught in the crossfire, but Trump is definitely more invovled than that. The two had associated for decades before it was even a possibility to put him on trial

I don't think threats from powerful people are enough to make Trump back down, sometimes that'd even egg him on. They have dirt on him that would ruin his image forever. Whether that means he took it up the ass from Roy Cohn or some other weird fetish shit, which they make everyone do to get in his position of power, it has to be something bad enough to throw away the biggest ego trip of his life

Why does your mind immediately go to gay butt sex

Roy Cohn was how he got his start

There's images of Trump in drag with Roy Cohn, and that guy also famously died of aids

I mean, I think the (credible) threat of death or whatever is probably also a good deterrent

But your theory could work!

I tend to think it's a hell of a lot easier to "suicide" random epstein accusers than it is the president of the united states

Oh, and I guess he just threw all of them under the bus too

Okay well you can have your gay butt sex theory

I'm not taking that away from you

He didn't fall for the rage bait

In a way pika this is supporting your 71+ idea

trump is being allowed to fire education dept people now

it also seems like there is a good case to overturn the insane pardons that biden never even saw

The autopen stuff is not getting overturned

Yes we all know he didn't know, but legally, it counts as the president signing it if he gives the OK for an aide to sign it on his behalf

at least some cuts are being enshrined

i voted for this

just got around to watching sam hyde vs harland

even the most die hard mde fan has to admit Harland got him good

yeah, idk what Sam was even doing

it's not like him and Harland had beef or anything

he looked off, never recovered, and then tardmonkeyraged at the end

it would've been so much better if sam wasn't trying to big dog harland and had actually met the energy

y'know... if he actually tried do improv comedy which is his entire thing

He looked like shit in that

Turnip bros stay winning

It's crazy just how bad he looked, unprepared and just off

I don't think it'll have any sort of long term impacts (sorry Turnip) but it's just weird to see something that cringe get put out at all
