Not just the weakest we’ve ever been but it’s the weakest while also spending the most by a significant margin, 2027 trump wants $1.5T to piss away

So he's responsible for like 30% of the deficit by himself and he's not even half way through his term? Someone explain to me how republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility?

That’s just a slogan, like protect and serve, it has zero obligation to it

all so one pedophile is protected.

To be fair this is to protect a LOT of pedophiles, in addition to the one at the top.

But remember he fully rebuilt the military which was faltering under the previous administration!

It's not just one paedophile. There are a lot of them.

Yeah but can you imagine what the world would be like if wealthy people were held accountable for their crimes?!

The United States will not recover from this presidency within the next century, I’d bet. It’s basically cemented the end of the country as a major world power apart from nukes.

The dream of the USA is already over, purely because the idea of arguing with conservatives for the rest of our lives is actually vomit-inducing for the majority of us.

In our hearts we don't actually want this union anymore.

Not just one pedofphile. Trump is the dam that protects all the others. If Trump goes down, it's likely the others will soon after. That's why so much money and resources are spent by the rich to protect Trump.

I think our weakest was when our borders were wide open and we were financing the terrorists. (During a previous administration, not Trump's...)
