More propaganda lies from you! 😆

Yet many developed countries (in particular your country) would be happy to perform as well as the U.S. under Biden! 😆 https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/

One of the worst rated pollster, ranked #144. 😆 https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/

A post full of propaganda lies, as usual! 😆

Even when your candidate wins, you still manage to whine! 😆

So now you are admitting that open source will not achieve the stated goal. We can agree on that. The main issue is not the end game, it 's how to achieve it. Otherwise it's only a wish. And no one has precisely explained what will be cut.

Both Dem voters and GOP voters will be impacted if welfare programs are cut.

Blah blah.😆 You have not explained how one can reasonably cut $500 billion from a total procurement budget of $765 billion (of which $470 billion for the army) by just publishing contracts online (most of them being already accessible thanks to the FOIA). It doesn't make sense at all!

I have already posted links about the federal budget composition. I don't see how the promised budget cuts can be achieved without cutting benefits to U.S. citizen. And that includes GOP voters, in particular in rural counties which have been affected by decreasing economic activities and job losses. Of course, if we had any information on where these promised cuts would precisely occur, it would be a less theoretical discussion. There isn't any. I jeven ust found out by discussing with theblether that no one even knows whether it's $ 2 billion/year or $2 billion / 4 years!

He did not say over four years either, so it's up to interpretation. It's bit strange for a businessman who is used to make business plans to give an amount without specifying that kind of details. But maybe you're right and he was just being provocative. How can open sourcing generate $500 billion cuts when the federal government contract budget is only around $765 billion (2023), of which $470 billion for the army (buying F-35 by open source, lol!). https://www.highergov.com/reports/765b-federal-gov-contract-awards-2023/ Do you have a reasoned estimate to show or are you just making it up?

He did not say over four years either, so it may well be you caught in a lie again. 😆 Let's assume you are right. It's around 7.5% of the federal budget. It's not small considering that it has been consistenly increasing over time, whatever the political colour of the governmemt. Where will cuts be made if not on welfare programs? Will GOP congressmen vote cuts affecting the people who voted for them?

B.S. 😆 Trump clearly targeted immigrants in Springfield! He was lying!

Thank you for confirming that Trump and Vance were telling lies! 😆 According to your source, she's not Haitian and she doesn't live in Springfield, which was the MAGA claim. (And she's obviously nuts, BTW)

Ok

You mean like "they eat pets"? 😆 Edit. Oops! Sorry. It's not even a gossip as it never happened!

Said Chairman Loudermilk! 🤣

Complete B.S. 😆 China has implemented significant programs to reduce pollution. That's why it's now the leader for products such as solar panels and electric cars. Because they had policies to diffuse their use in China. Oh, and of course, you forgot to 'notice' the differences in population between countries. Per capita, Americans are polluting much more than Chinese or Indians. 😆 "China and India have huge populations, though — more than 1.4 billion people each, or four times the U.S. population of 345 million people. That means on a per person basis, the Chinese produce 9.8 metric tons of CO2 equivalent each year and Indians produce 2.9 metric tons of CO2 equivalent in 2022. Americans produced 17.7 metric tons per person." https://www.ciphernews.com/articles/china-qatar-and-u-s-lead-depending-on-how-you-judge-emissions/

Exactly. And the 2014 coup was no exception to this recurring pattern.

It's a question of pride. In the American society, it's hard to be a loser. The American culture is praising winners and is rather despising losers. Trump tells them it's not their fault, it's because of the deep state, the Washington elite, and other similar B.S. 😃

It's not the Dems spreading terror rumors, it 's the DODGE nutters. Musk announced he will cut federal expenses by $2 trillion, that's 30% of the federal budget. It's huge! https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdj38mekdkgo How will they achieve it without cutting into welfare budgets? How would GOP beneficiaries be unaffected by it?

A prediction is not a lie, it's a prediction.😊 The fact that there is a significant number of GOP voters currently benefitting from federal welfare programs is also not a lie.

That's why it won't really happen. A lot of Republican counties are beneficiaries of federal welfare programs. That's particularly the case of rural counties, with decreasing revenues and job numbers, which are core MAGA strongholds. It is doubtful that GOP congressmen will shoot themselves into the foot! ☺️ And, as usual, Trump and MAGAs will whine about the deep state, etc..., to justify another broken promise.

They don't really recruit them to fight, they recruit them to die. Therefore they don't need to select them according to their fighting ability.

Actually, this principle works quite well for the French foreign legion.

Not really. The old Caliphates or the Ottoman empire have been quite stable and prosperous. Of course, nothing to compare with the stability in Europe during this period, with no major war, no bloody religious persecution, etc... Oh wait! 😆
