Damn you, Biden!

I promise I don’t want Iran to “win” but what exactly have we achieved here?

In one corner we have well-documented corroborations of the claim and even a pretty damn realistic case for it being accidental. Can we at least stop with the Iranian propaganda angle?

Is the Pentagon credible enough for you?

The continued acceptance of Bannon on the right and Clinton on the left from the same people screaming about the other side’s reaction to the Epstein Files is a great way to explain today’s political culture.

I agree with all this as well, and it’s what ultimately makes me so snarky when outrage is demanded from me when it comes to any and all other wasteful spending or even fraud. The actual stopping of fraud and waste within the system is always a good thing. It’s just a shame that both sides see...

Apparently not. The point is that we just throw a big ass dollar amount at defense that sounds good and supportive on its own merits rather than actually grapple with how that money is being spent and try to work the number down rather than up. We saw the same thing with DHS and it led to Noem...

Clearly not my intent. I think the continued use of our military in expensive foreign conflicts and the disparity between how certain people look at defense budgets and the budgets of any other government agency are the issue. We shouldn’t be trumpeting big numbers like $2 trillion as some win...

I’ve been silent on the report about frivolous spending because I don’t have any idea where the crab legs and shit went, but this does get to the core of why I’m running out of fucks to give on wasteful spending for programs like SNAP, USAID and Medicaid. We aren’t getting a meaningful choice...

Damn, if we don’t do something drastic we won’t have any Burger Kings left for people not to eat at.

That one. Catch all the people doing fraud, jail them or deport them, rinse and repeat. My stance on fraud has not meaningfully changed since the last case of fraud I commented on.

I’d argue one is better off hoping in that regard given the current administration.

I don’t know, maybe the polling ain’t great.

Counterpoint:

Eh. There’s a whole lot of smoke to the fire of it being us that did that.

Absolutely shocked that DHS would be wasteful and stupid with its vast fortune it received. If only we had a political party and movement in charge that could have predicted what happens when you give a government agency a big pile of money. Hopefully they don’t try to do the same with the military.

What is your line when it comes to imperialist bullshit?

Yeah, regional powers famously love global powers coming in and taking over the key industries of their competitors on the market via military force.

He’s bad on television, which should be a death sentence in this administration.
