  • You made trillions of me and you can't even give me 50 Grand to get out of this basement and get some food really you know the whole world is watching right you know how bad this makes our government look right
  • Why evacuate people if the bad guys only would flee with them, giving the impression there originally wasnt many bad guys at all? And why would you think that they, the so called hostages, would for sure get out? weird stuff, just weird
  • @stacyMighty
    I'm just going to pay off my student loans, and no arts, and creative designs till I leave to return home in 2026. I think this would be a safe move for me. I can work in my bubble space.
  • @jiggyv6139
    how about you take a paycut for that budget. These guys are uppity snobs.
  • @stacyMighty
    Wait, did he say " I know how to destroy them by sending them to the people of Ukraine"? I'm going home.

    Why didn't they just tell us in 1980 they did not want us here when we legally migrated here from West Indies, Jamaica that they did not want us here. I was 5 years old, now turning 50 this month. We were better off at home. We did not have to migrate here. There was a social unrest with Cuba as to why our family brought us here legally. I will be returning home to Jamaica in 2026 once I pay off my 50k student loan that really did not lead to my law degree. My 2nd cousin is the Prime Minister of Jamaica, and most of my relative have a foot in Parliament.

    pass the SWAMP Act...Stop War And Military Profiteers...cut military spending equal the amount paid as dividends by the top 10 military industrial contractors every 5 years
  • Kinda amazing, here you see elected officials asking a lifelong professional how (and why) the military isn’t able to fix all the world’s problems.

    Taiwan is a part of China, not a country. It has a file in the United nations. And also recognized United States since 1979. So China has right to Unite with Taiwan.

    And this congress is useless too. The only one worth listening to in that room is Matt gaetz.
