Rather than just saying congrats and thank you for your service. Many on the left feel the need to try to discredit Trump, or say things like “You’re excited over that little… pic.twitter.com/yA1Y72OEsJ
Look up where the money was diverted.
?
it is reported it came from post housing improvements.
It came from the already Congressionally approved housing improvements in the BBB. So instead of helping a few of the servicemen with housing, ALL the troops got a nice bonus. There is still lots of money left in that program.
or, he took from dependants to make a political statement.
From what dependents?
who do you think lives in military housing and uses housing subsidy? wifes and children of service members. money that was used for 1776 bonus came from housing funds for off base housing and improvements.
it is a shell game. it is a political game. i dont care if it is trump, biden, bush etc...
There is still plenty of money in that account. I dont see what you are visibly upset about.
Visibly? I only said track what they do. Nothing this group does matches what they tell us. You guys keep focusing on what you want to see without looking at the bigger picture.
In this case, they took money already approved by Congress for base housing cost and used it for an across the board one time payment that they said was from tariffs.
Plenty of money? We are 33T in debt, now there is plenty of money? I thought that was the poison pill for the Nation. It changes based on whatever Trump does. You guys cheer. No Nation building becomes we should rebuild Gaza. No new wars, hello Venezuela. Crooked Joe Biden and the Biden Crime Family, we are now hooking the Treasury to Crypto after Eric Trump started a Crypto Company and Jared Kushiner is negotiating Gaza. Lastly, Biden weaponized DOJ as Trump's DOJ is removing pictures of Trump from the Epstein files. Biden went against Congress on Student Loans, as Bondi is not releasing files as Congress passed. It goes on and on. But no issue there, I am sure there will be plenty of lectures of why all of that is warranted. So, I like pointing out inconsistencies.
So you're an isolationist?
Actually, no. I am a pragmatist. I get that you have to make decisions you don't like based on conditions.
What I have NO tolerance for is hypocrisy. Trump ran on slamming Biden and the Dems on items he is now doing the same thing. We are attacking countries, we are rebuilding foreign lands, he is steering his family to make money off his decisions, he weaponized the Federal Government, is playing kiss the ring to make deals, and he is acting like an Authoritarian Dictator. He says constantly, I don't have to do this or that, like that is more important than what he is doing.
Bottomline is that we can't trust what he says, we do not know if it is the truth, half-truth, ommission, lie or exaggeration. Nothing is like he says it is. You have no idea what they are really doing and if we are the sucker or will benefit. You can't live with someone like that. That is why I am so hard on Trump and his gang. Biden was no better, but that is not a very high bar. You guys can cheer away and quote Breitbard or think he is actually doing something that is impacting the Cartels (read up on their financial systems, this is doing nothing.) It is an excuse to attack Venezuela.
Is he getting things done, or not?
That really is the questions, is he? Are we sure of what it is he is doing? Nothing seems to follow any sort of plan or logic with an end in mind. DOGE, Venezuela, Tariffs, etc... What are they doing? What is the end product? I am not sure. Seems all over the board.
Are we really having the Ford blow up little boats with an amount of product on it that running the Ford for a day dwarfs what it is worth? This to me is the problem, I don't think he is fighting drugs, it seems he is using the "marketing message" of fighting drugs to do something else. Same with tariffs, foreign investment.
It feels like we are not seeing all the pieces or the whole game, but he is scared if he tells us it will be bad. Just pieces of info, actions and the people he is using that are not adding up. Worrisome suspicion by the time we figure it out, it will be too late. Project 2025 and people like Miller don't help. That is my channeling JD Vance paranoia, conspiracy theory...
