US Elections (& Politics) :)


Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

And the Repiblikan Congress funded the Ukraine $, went on vacation for another 45 days and are unavailable.

You have no representation and they're laughing at you,.... from the beach

Love the fact that Trump is a Christian. But not to get technical here but Angels are not Saints. I am guessing this is a Catholic type prayer, we don't pray to Angels either, nothing wrong with asking Jesus/God to use Michael the Archangel to help us in the battle of evil. But I am sure Michael is busy in the Spiritual fight against Evil, and may be delayed...
 
 

Bad Hombre @joma_gc

It took less than 24 hours after landing in the U.S. for Harris-Biden to give Zelensky $8 Billion more of your taxpayer dollars.
It took 3 days to get a statement from Harris-Biden on Americans devastated by Hurricane Helene.
That's America Last.

Regarding Ukraine, .. you really need to pay attention to nuances and much more.

$8B in USA Military terms is small change .. especially once you consider the cost of failure of Deterrence

Penny wise and Pound foolish. Pay attention to history not the current political sound bites for votes, and you will see better the game.

The USA must not come out of these conflicts being perceived as being weak and incapable of enforcing it's interests.
( This is one of the key reasons why the Biden - Harris administration is a failure .. after Afghanistan we seemed like a big paper tiger .. and Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are taking advantage of it .. )

Much of the money that was "given to Ukraine" was actually allocated to the USA Military to replenish expiring stocks of munitions

Think of it this way ( this also happens, you will notice if you have ever worked for a food bank )

1) Food is close to expire.
2) US Government has a program to give a tax break or actual cash for food donations / purchases for Americans who are in need.
3) Food companies which has surplus of about to expire food, or not well liked food, get the food to the Americans in need.
4) Profit.

This is effectively what happened to a lot of the "money" which wend to Ukraine.
About to expire missiles / artillery shells which the USA would need to spend money on to destroy, instead went to Ukraine to use.
Money then got allocated to the USA to replenish the stock with newly produced munitions.

How much do you think the US Aircraft Carrier task force is burning through each day on Pro-Israeli patrols in the Red Sea area ?
( reportedly it is about $6.5 million per day - which adds up quickly, .. )

How much do you think the costs of Ships having to reroute around Africa thanks to the Russian-Iranian alliance is costing the USA and EU ?

Pay attention to the key shipping routes and potential choke holds in the world.
Iran, China currently in charge of key choke points. This is NOT good for the USA and EU.
 
I’m good with my opinion on why we should not have started in 2014 or so, and now continue to fight the proxy war in Ukraine. I’ve read more than a few tweets ;)

We just have to agree to disagree on this one Matt
 
Those of you on X are probably seeing this, but the hundreds, thousands of posts coming out of Western NC and Eastern Tenn are heartbreaking.

Little help from Natl Guard as many of them deployed in the past week to the Middle East (where I suppose we’re going to see a war with Iran before Election Day)
