Handouts for me, not for thee.

They're going to uncover all the "fraud" just to give it all to Musk and the cult.

Would you rather live in a neighborhood full of white south africans or afghans?
I heard the white South Africans like to eat dogs and cats, just like RFK Jr. Avoid those Neanderthals at all costs.

Doesn't matter to me either way. I'm sure the Afghans would result in better restaurants down the road.

I'll say I'd rather live in a neighborhood full of people that risked their lives to aid the United States over people that just happen to have my skin color though.

okay, forget that he fails to answer a simple question. is this guy consistently confusing balance of trade and federal debt, i mean like totally? shouldn't someone explain it to him? and once he understands the difference, then comes the next _difficult part. does this guy has any idea about how canada, a smaller economy, cannot import as much from murica, a much larger economy, as murica, a much larger economy, imports from canada, a much smaller economy?

trump proves on a daily basis that he lacks the very basic understanding of economy.

And same deal with Conservatives having somehow convinced everyone they are the better party for the economy. Starting with Reagan onwards.

Job growth, unemployment, GDP growth, manufacturing job growth… all significantly better under democrat presidents than republican. But when you see what the Trump/MAGA cult members like Nomuken and Hust post in this thread it’s very easy to understand how the GOP has convinced ‘muricans that the opposite is true.
not sure it's so one-sided. Bush was a tool and served during the 2008 crisis, so his numbers are fucked, but the other recent Republican president Trump had decent numbers, especially considering he served during Covid years of 2020-2021.

he'd own gaza. and he wouldn't let anyone return.

it's not the home of a nation, it's a real estate development project.

i'll let that sink in.



yeah, he's easily the biggest piece of shit of any western politician i can remember.

if there's any sane republicans left in that rotten party, they should just start to speak as soon as possible. this is already a massive genocide, imagine what would happen if trump sends the us army there. it's not about left or right, woke or conservative, it's about basic human decency. this piece of shit must be stopped.

Imagine celebrating the win of this Israeli slave that parrots "America first." Imagine building a cult around a lap dog. Wild.

This is true, everyone who served knows this.
I don't know if it happens anywhere in the world, It is an endemic culture in Afghanistan. Never been a thing in my area. Poor boys dressing into girls and appeasing and dancing for men. If im not mistaken the term of "Child Trafficking" has the same meaning of Bacha bazi in English.

It seems like a local cultural thing. Soldiers going there had to coop with it, weren’t allowed to stop it. I heard many stories of how difficult it was for the forces going there and who had to build relationships with local tribes or warlords. Cultural differences were huge, in the rural areas you’re still literally speaking about tribes with no strong national identity and weak influence of government. A lot of corruption, trauma, influence and pressure of the Taliban. Opposite to here where doing business is straight to the point a sergeant there had to sit down with the head of a tribe multiple times in order to build a relationship, with all the barrières it just became something very difficult.

Moral of the story, you can’t go to a country haunted by wars for decades, totally different cultural values far from the Western ideas and expect to build something from scratch.

Funny enough the US is funding the Taliban until this very day in the form of humanitarian aid, which in turn will be misused. Wouldn’t surprise me if the EU is doing that too.
