Thanks to Kamala/Biden just because record amounts are being spent it doesn't mean people are doing anything more extravagant or excessive. They are probably buying less its just costing them a lot more.

So weird though that everyone is struggling to survive. I guess candy and costumes are necessary to survival.

Or people who say we Americans are struggling to survive are being hyperbolic trump butt sniffing idiots.

Probably the second one.

Or we get some politicians that have morals above and beyond how much money they can bank through corporate lobbying and then actually take their mandate to serve the people seriously, and they take on big business to get tax rates back where they need to be and improve social services. But I do not see a single one now willing to do that.

Ya it must be a difficult concept for morons to understand that when literally everything costs more, there are people downhill that will struggle. Unless your mommy or the government buys your groceries and pays your bills, I'm not sure how it would go unnoticed.

Most definitely the first one. Remember, if Harris gets elected we won't even have a country any more. It will literally *POOF* out of existence as if the Genie from Aladdin snapped his fingers.

Wages increased too silly goose.

Of course there are always people who are struggling. There has never been a time in history without poor people.
But to act as if the country is struggling to survive when all the evidence points to the contrary just proves that you like to sniff trumps butt.

“In 2016, Donald Trump said he would choose only the best people to work in his White House,” the attack advert’s narrator said. “Now those people have a warning for America: Trump is not fit to be president again.”

It featured a montage of clips from Mike Pence, Trump’s former vice-president, Mark Esper, his defence secretary, John Bolton, his national security adviser, and Gen Mark Milley, his chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who alluded to Trump as an autocrat.

the advert “will remind Fox News viewers, perhaps even a certain defeated former president himself” that “Trump’s own national security team can’t stomach him anymore”.

Apparently they all know how to cash checks written by the Military-Industrial Complex. Every single one of those ten former top US military chiefs took contracts to work on behalf of defense industry constrictors after leaving service.

His linked article also included: Mike Pence, Trump’s former vice-president, Mark Esper, his defence secretary, John Bolton, his national security adviser.

It's funny how you just cherry pick those guys and say their criticisms don't count because of something totally arbitrary (as if you can't get paid by the military AND truthfully speak about how bad trump sucks lol).

Gotta defend the respectable name of donald trump I guess lol.

Troll on

He is a well-spoken troll, but a troll nonetheless.

Side note, but you can't. The UCMJ has provisions against expressions of 'contempt towards elected officials', and it is prosecutable.

That said, it isn't being paid by the military that is the issue. It is being paid by defense contractors who have shown a clear bias in this election. The last time Trump was President, he attacked the F-35 program to the point of threatening to cancel it outright. That one program is worth more than $2 trillion dollars, with 411 separate defense contractors, and manufacturing of various components happening in a majority of US Congressional districts. The plane is good, but the government contract is thought to be the most advanced ever devised and politically undefeatable.

Trump attacked the delays, ridiculous costs, and what he viewed as corruption. He threatened to throw it all in the trashcan and instead upgrade the F/A-18EF Super Hornets. The defense industry backed down, committed to no more delays, no more cost overruns, and even dropped the price. Trump cost them a ton, and they haven't forgotten. They wrote checks to support Nikki Haley's candidacy. They called in favors from former Halliburton CEO Dick Cheney and his family. They gave marching orders to all of the former military men on their payroll.

Maybe those ten former top US military chiefs did think Trump sucked and would have said so even if they weren't being paid to say it, but they were paid to say it. That is my point.

My wife is getting feisty in this election cycle and is proselytizing for Harris. We got cornered at church by someone who told us they had it so much better under Trump, financially, then proceeded to tell us about the 2 rental properties they bought 2 years ago and how the income helped them buy a brand new motorhome and boat, to go with their jet skis and 2 razor side-by-sides. One of them also got promoted at work last year. I mentioned, hey all that happened under Biden, they just denied it and said it was so much better under Trump. There is no getting through to some people. The emperor is really wearing a beautiful set of new clothes, isn't he? Isn't he?!
