I don't know about lowering military budget or education or healthcare budgets at all. The key seems to be the control what those funds are spent on, to funnel them to industries and beneficiaries who support the people who get voted into office.

I truly think the great majority of policy is set based on quid pro quo.

Even anti-abortion has many economical opportunities. Morning after pills will spike. Neighboring state abortion clinics will explode in business. Labor in areas where abortions by the poors is not available will see a growing demand in baby products and immediately and eventually a very low cost labor base to manufacture goods to sell elsewhere.

I do not believe politicians are dumb, on the contrary I think they have no sense of morality. The leadership of the party are vicious sociopathic megalomaniacs. They are experts at propaganda and manipulation via the media, where they work hand in hand with billionaire media owners.

Short and near term financial gains can buy you a ticket to salvation after the planet is ruined in 50-250 years. If they need to buy luxury proprety and loads of ~~slaves~~ servants to retain their standing and quality of life, they are going to do that. If they are afraid of foreign powers taking control they have no issues starting proxy wars via russia or israel so the american people can spend hundreds of billions of dollars funding the military industrial complex contracts that them and their buddies benefit from, meanwhile sending the young high potential competitors to their children or grandchildren off to die on the front line.

Anyway, the last thing they want to do is focus on taking care of the american people. IGMFY is the name of the game. The few rare exceptions like Bernie spin their wheels trying to effect real change and the majority of the other politicians try to stay out of the line of fire while promoting things that benefit themselves, typically only affecting them behind the scenes.

If the Fallout TV show taught me anything, you cannot profit off of the apocalypse. That's literally antithetical to capitalism. That's why they disrespected the lore so much, right?

He knows Trump used 'Palestinian' as a slur, right?

Lmao. Insanity. Man is hella hyped on Russian propaganda. Did he forget about Jerusalem?

If his version of 'better' involves MOABs and a giant set of smoking craters in the Middle East, then yes. Trump was the one that launched all those tomahawks on that base and assassinated an Iranian general unprovoked, though, so we kind of already know his MO. In addition to dropping that MOAB in Afghanistan.

There's only one choice this fall, and it certainly isn't Trump.

You know they have a big brain because of all the mental gymnastics they do all day, every day

He talked about using Nukes while in office as well. IIRC, "Fire and Fury," was the first threat to NK.

Is it possible to filter post titles that start "trump says"?

Let's start a nuclear war and worry about the rest later.

he's not famous for worrying about the consequences of his actions

He is the "I'll tell whatever lie might get people to clap and cheer" candidate.

That's what he claims.

He claims a lot of things.

"For Peace" for Americans, everyone else can bomb each other to death.

And by 'Americans', he only means those who support him. Those who don't get bombed, too.
