  1. Literally my very first sentence to you was asking that question. Jeez, talk about illiterate.
  2. No, I pointed out that cutting DOE would not be 25% of Federal spending. If you think I said otherwise, prove it.
  3. That "little while ago" was AFTER I pointed out that you can't get there simply but cutting the Department of Education.
  4. That was my point. Cutting the DOE doesn't get you anywhere near 25%. That is the only spending he mentioned cutting. All I'm asking is for him to come up with a plan to cut 25%.
  5. Take your attitude and shove it. You want to cut spending by 25%, then tell us how you would do it. It is that simple. It is easy to make statements like cut by 25%. It is harder to actually make that happen. Hint , you aren't going to get there without serious cuts to defense, social security, medicare and medicaid.
  6. In a later post, the only think he pointed to was the Department of Education.
  7. So basically, 1) The 6 carriers commissioned or under construction since then. 2- The entire fleet of Virginia Class attack submarines (and basically the entire attack submarine fleet as the Los Angeles Class submarines reach end of life). 3- The Columbia Class ballistic missile submarine (and basically the seaborne leg of our nuclear triad as the Ohio Class submarines reach end of life). 4- The F22 and F35. 5- Relief for every severe storm including Katrina, Harvey, Ian, Maria, Sandy, Ida, Irma, Ike, Ivan, Michael, Florence, Wilma and Rita. 6- Relief for every wildfire that hit the west and recently Hawaii. 7- The bailout for the financial crisis in 2008. 8- Operation Warp Speed. 9- All the Covid related spending intended to keep people and businesses afloat. just to name a few.
  8. What exactly would you cut? The Department of Education isn't 25% of government spending.
  9. The amount of tax break I received from the Trump tax cut was marginal. I think it was around $60. The deficit went up putting the government in a more precarious financial situation. Do you only care about tax breaks? Do you not care about the other side of the ledger?
  10. Sane stupid joke from the same stupid cult members. You never provided the proof requested. Why not?
  11. Trumps platform is 1. Keep me out of jail. 2. Tax cuts for the rich. 3. Keep me out of jail. 4. Lean into divisive social conservative issues. 5. Keep me out of jail. 6. Pardons for insurrectionists and cronies. 7. Keep me out of jail. None of these reduces the debt or deficit.
  12. I don't believe my comments were at all uncritical. If you disagree, that may say more about you than me.
  13. How was that dinner with Nick Fuentes?
  14. Which rapper indicted for conspiracy to commit murder was that? Sheff G or Sleepy Hallow? https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/24/politics/trump-rappers-bronx-rally-indicted/index.html
  15. It took 14 years to trace SARS-1 back to bats. It could take that long with SARS-2. The source of many outbreaks of Ebola are never solved.
  16. If it was natural, how could we recreate the events? This makes no sense.
  17. The two parties are not static. 60 years ago the representation of the South was Democrats. With the passage of the Civil Rights Act and Nixon's Southern Strategy, that all changed. Back during the Civil War, the Republican Party would be considered radically liberal. Today, there would be no place for Lincoln in the Republican Party.
  18. You mean the phone call where Trump tried to extort a foreign country to announce an investigation into his political rival and ended up with an impeachment?
  19. Clarence Thomas - "I can't control the elections my wife wants to overthrow!" Antonin Scalia - "I can't control the flags my wife wants to fly!" Rand Paul - "I can't control the stocks my wife wants to buy!" Well that last one makes some sense ...
