A celebration of our military is always warranted. Fly overs always get people standing, cheering, and clapping.
It isn't, as the military is rife with fucked up people that are likely considered terrorists in other countries. A soldier shot a girl's family before raping her, and female vets talking about sexual assaults are two such examples. And what about tanks? There's no reason to waste taxpayer money on those irrelevant things.

How can you talk about them like that when they've fought to make this a country where you belong and can live safely at night without fear of gorilla warfare or bad actors hellbent on destruction terrorizing your home. Shameful.

They never fought for anything for this country. What are we in danger from? All that's been done is that we've sent many of the soldiers to their deaths. Many people can't live safely at night because for all they know, cops might barge into their homes and shoot them, or some mentally ill soldiers might shoot up the place. and I gave you two examples of why I can talk like that, it's up to you whether you want to believe it or ignore their crimes.

Because it's cheaper for the consumer? :lmao

All of these people that are pro-tariff don't really seem to understand that. If you install or raise tariffs, that increase is ultimately passed on to the person buying the goods. Apple products already are ridiculously overpriced.

I am 1000% sure apple could reduce price and still make money.

Sure they could, and they'd obviously do that out of the goodness of their hearts, right? :eyeroll
being pro-tarriff means pro-capitalism and capitalism is bad. Clearly, we shouldnt be supporting companies that only want to fill their already full coffers more.

Okay, so then where is your and other Republican's criticisms of companies and industries using their already astronomically large coffers to influence politics to make even more money? And what of the politicians who take that money?

Tariffs such as these hurt consumers first and businesses last.

why the hell would they reduce prices? That'd hurt their brand image.

It would, but sales and brand image aren't the same thing.

I thought Andrew Yang, Gillibrand, and Kamala Harris were the leaders in the debate and among all candidates overall spare Warren. These are my top 4 and Id be happy if two of the four won. Harris has good personality but some of her past things and comments suggests she isnt going all the way to where I think the democrats that exist IRL and not the armchair ones on the stage want to be. Biden is a joke sorry.

Also Trump sticking to his guns continues to be the best thing. Support american investments and opportunities again to keep our country great and our economy as strong as its ever been before.

The debate was embarrassing, and I honestly don't see why people are acting like Booker came out looking well. All he did was repeatedly complain about Democrats fighting among themselves. Well no shit, it's a debate. No one is going to distinguish themselves by being overly agreeable with 19 other candidates.

Another thing is they gave way too little time to people like Yang or Gabbard. Harris had a bunch of missed opportunities during the debate, especially in response to Gabbard, and you saw that with her post-debate interviews. It feels like the same "machine" that was behind Clinton is behind her now and I'm a bit dubious about it.

Another puzzling thing is the sheer amount of Democrats all too eager to "cancel" Biden despite him still having the best shot to defeat Trump in key battleground states. It's almost like they like being miserable complaining about Trump 24/7, which considering some of these people I guess it isn't all that surprising.

Biden is a horrible choice, he'll most likely lose. Yang, Warren, or Sanders have better chances than him.

Another week another mass shooting. Hopefully democratic candidates have an answer to the increasing problem of gun violence on American soil. If lawmakers in congress and the house of representatives as well as state governing bodies were serious about gun control, California and Texas would not have had incidents by rogue actors in recent times.

Thoughts and prayers to the many lives lost and others dramatically changed on today and last weekend.

Why is he a horrible choice? As much as I like Yang and I've voted for Sanders in the past, I don't see how they have a better chance to win than Biden.

Why do Democrats have to have an answer when they've been for gun control reform for ages? It's the NRA-backed GOP that tends to always oppose such measures. You make no sense.
