Hey now, she’s a real American Christian™️. So what if she cheated on her husband with a tantric sex guru. The point is she says she’s a Christian on camera and on her social media, so I don’t know what other convincing you need.

I’d rather it just be used to updated our power grid , fix our infrastructure, take care of our young , elderly and veterans. If we are going to go deeper into debt knowing we can’t pay it off anyway , why not do it upgrading our own country first .

Money has already been appropriated for those things. It's up to the states to make the necessary improvements

I don’t remember a single issue bill being passed for those things . It’s the easiest way to make sure the money goes where it’s supposed to, it would weed out the politicians and people like LG who claim the whole party is for or against it , we would see with our own eyes . But we aren’t interested in an actual fix for our bloated government or we would do something about it , besides point fingers , b*tch and yes but what about . The fixes are easy , but the machine and the ones keeping it oiled aren't interested.

And who is honestly scared?

Putin is struggling to take out Ukraine. The only people scared of Putin are American leftist. Because they’ve been told to be. Otherwise they may look at their own party and realize America’s greatest threat right now is the Uniparty, not Putin.

2021. Huge infrastructure bill. It will take you 2 minutes to Google and find out exactly how much each state got from that bill

I think you missed the “ Single item “ bill part I was talking about . We give attorneys the opportunity to creat bills to fix problems by throwing huge sums of money at it without holding anyone’s feet to the fire when they come back with 2,3,4 thousand page bills that have multiple items in it and to be voted on asap. Oversight committees are a joke , it’s all a dog and pony show .

And this (in fairness above and beyond Ukraine) is a big part of the problem. Like a kid first turned loose with a credit card or ATM PIN the money is just "there". It's not even a tangible entity. You want something you just write the check/slide the card and it's supposed to be covered. The numbers are so big now it's like it isn't "real" money anymore.

It would get real real fast when SHTF. Like in a major conflict with either Russia or China.

I have always thought, China doesn't need to hack or steal anything to cripple us. They can just call up all the debt they own. We couldn't pay it.

all that not real money becomes a real problem when you realize who all holds a chunk of it, and often they are countries not aligned with our interests. or which ones would be able to use that as leverage to get us involved on their side.

he won't even sneeze at NATO.

Remember how NATO moving east was some big red line for him, and thats how he justified invading Ukraine because they might have at some point joined NATO? Well yeah, Finland actually did join NATO and Putin didn't even issue a complaint. Why? Because he knows he can't fight NATO at all.

he MAY go after someone else post Ukraine, but it won't be soon, it took him 8 years to build up to take on little Ukraine, and it won't be NATO.

the WW3 threat from Russia is smoke blown up your butt to sell the democrats new found war-hawk spirit. WW3 may kick off in the somewhat near future but it won't be because Russia outright attacked NATO. Putin is a bully and can only pick on the isolated nations he has a clear advantage over. In reality Ukraine should be a shocking example to Russia about how little power they actually have.

Ukraine was their best case scenario. Weaker, isolated nation. one that had been demilitarized in the past via treaty. Right on the Russian border, and its a big border which allows Russia to attack from multiple angles. They even have a "neutral" ally in Belarus also on the border where Russia has been able to attack from, and is a threat that Ukraine has to defend against, without tying down Russians. Then you also have Transnistria on Ukraines western front with several Russian divisions in, to further make Ukraine defend even more border with minimal Russian investment. some ethnic Russians in Ukraine for "support", Russian military bases already in Crimea. They were able to gobble up 20% of Ukraine back in 2014 before the real fighting started. Even with ALL of that, Russia is stuck 2 years later still losing men and material.

And the sad thing is China owes US bondholders trillions and we unlike Great Brittian refuse to make them pay.
