Republicans introduce the DOGE Act cutting $114 billion from the budget for energy, climate, health, transportation and veterans, but not defense

It's wild to me that we only raised our military budget because of the cold war.

A war which has ended 40 years ago.

A war whose only competition self destructed and can't even take their tiny next door neighbor in 2024.


And all the rest of the world's military budgets combined don't even equal our own. We could literally cut the budget in half and still have more military spending than every country on earth.



I know I'm just rambling, but i feel like America is that dude with the luxury car in the apartment complex struggling to pay rent, because we insist on keeping the military bmw we can't afford and don't need, to stunt on people who don't care.

Eisenhower tried to warn us

MAGA underneath the surface is just regular old Republicanism on steroids

I’m trying to think of the last time a private citizen had this much sway over the president and consequently the government. Jerry Falwell? The mafia over JFK? Ford, and the other big money Gilded age Barons?

I’m hoping for some Iran-Contra, Lewinsky, Watergate levels of scandals, multiple at that. Elon looks like the type who would wake up in a room with a dead hooker like Senator Geary on Godfather II

JP Morgan

Dude literally loaned money to the US government.

They even cutting spending for veterans, shameless. Risk your life fighting for oligarchs, plutocrats, and Zionists just so they can cut your reward.

Thinking about all those military folks that voted for Republicans makes me

And so many vets in Trump’s dikk no matter how much he shyts in them.

Dumb ass white veterans voters in bucktown usa always yelling USA and trump trump trump now you just like everyone else is about to get fukk

All the active duty cacs that have been thumbin their nose at people telling them trump is going to fukk them....


Hold your fukkin L!

These enlisted whiteboys and Latinos love them some Trump in the Navy. Funny because all of them have poor af backgrounds and their families about to be HURTING

I be telling folks "Yo you didn't join the military because you're rich"

but they always do the most to defend people who wouldn't even look in their direction if they had their hand out

Irony is, the military is the CLOSEST THING to American socialism.

Free housing

Free Healthcare

Larger than average paychecks

Free college

Am I wrong?

Thats too much thinking for a lot of these dudes. Remember most enlisted were average students in high school, critical thinking is beyond them.
