    Yeah, without Trumps massive failures he would have won in a landslide. Great take there.

    Maintaining a Navy is a Constitutional requirement of the federal government, so naturally that is the first place they look for cash to buy vot...I mean, offset spending.

    https://news.usni.org/2021/02/24/pen...s-shipbuilding

    The Pentagon is performing a “budget relook” of the Trump administration’s Fiscal Year 2022 proposal, with Navy shipbuilding topping the list of items for reassessment, USNI News has learned.

    The directive, issued on Feb. 17, calls for the Pentagon’s Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) to look at a range of line items in the defense budget, including Navy shipbuilding and areas where the Defense Department can get rid of legacy aircraft and ship capabilities.

    The instructions from Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks also order CAPE to evaluate long-range fires, low-yield nuclear weapons, and aviation programs like the Air Force KC-46 tanker, the F-35 Lighting II Joint Strike Fighter and the Air Force’s MQ-9 Reaper. CAPE should also assess “extant FY 2022 investments and FY 2023 opportunities” for the Biden administration’s Build Back Better initiative and climate investments for FY 2023 through FY 2027, according to the memo reviewed by USNI News.

    Trump left such a depleted military. I hear they had no tanks left. Good to see President Biden restoring the military.

    Biden begins the process to fire DeJoy. Surely DeJoy will be very happy to give up his 100k a year job to go back into the private market. Because he totally took that job because he care about the health of the USPS. Hopefully any company associated with DeJoy is banned from future contracts with the USPS.

    I don’t see anything here stating Biden is abolishing the Navy. Our defense budget is absurdly bloated and it’s good that we’re looking at our options.

    President Biden set to sign an executive order to build a China-free tech supply chain. Quite the contrast from the CCP favorite Donald Trump. He did them a big favor killing the TPP. Was one of his first moves too. He was chomping at the bit to give his CCP masters what they wanted.

    Taipei has been especially quick to respond. Senior U.S. and Taiwanese officials signed a memorandum of understanding in November to promote technological cooperation in seven areas, including semiconductors and fifth-generation wireless, as well as "safe, secure and reliable supply chains."

    Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's top chip foundry, agreed last spring to build a fabrication facility in Arizona that is likely to become a symbol of this bilateral relationship. The chipmaker will invest $12 billion in the plant, which will produce semiconductors for the military and is slated to come online in 2024. The U.S. government is providing subsidies for the project.

    Glad Biden is going to get the credit for something trump pushed endlessly and got the ball rolling to move away from China.

    Absolutely.

    I applaud Biden for signing this. I hope it’s not just PR after he rationalized genocide and we actually go through with it.

    As you know, I didn't say he was abolishing the Navy. I pointed out the fact that he is looking to cut spending on one of the very few expenses the federal government is supposed to have, to spend it on other areas that the federal government has no Constitutional requirement for.

    What part of that is incorrect?

    Banning a company from trying to obtain USPS contracts raises some interesting legal questions. I'm not sure the USPS could discriminate against a company employing DeJoy just because he's disliked by politicians. If he's charged and convicted of mail related crimes you have a better case. But I'm not sure it could be done as things sit now.

    Nothing is incorrect, but the constitution is irrelevant in this context.

    I read every article I post sir. I also link them instead of just a screenshot of the headline and a snarky twatter comment. Unlike some people around here. Biden signed an executive order to speed the process up. Ill throw you a bone, I meant to post this a while ago, but Trump signed an EO banning US investors from dealing with companies linked to the Chinese Military. Thats a good one. But Trumps killing of the TPP was a huge boon for China.


    If you want to talk about taking credit for other Presidents work I would be more than happy to discuss Trumps repeated lie that he got the program passed that allowed US vets to see doctors outside of the VA. Trump expanded the conditions to include blindness in both eyes then took credit for the whole thing.

    The way I would do it is set up a commission to look at everything from the hiring of DeJoy to determine if there was any intent to obstruct postal service related to the election and whether he was using his position to create conditions that would get companies he has stock in federal contracts. During that process there should/would be a freeze on all contracts to companies for which he has a financial stake in. That whole situation reeks of corruption.


    Just the hiring process of DeJoy, a major Trump donor, by people appointed by Trump to the board reeks of corruption. I would start there and subpoena all the board members Republican and Democrat and grill them under oath to find out what exactly went on.

    President Biden set to sanction Russia for the solarwinds hack and poising of people. Good to have a President who isnt scared of Putin. Also of note, unlike some people I posted a link instead of a screenshot of the headline only.
