You cannot defend in the modern world without interventionist policies dumb ass. If you do not defend your geopolitical position you have to defend your front lawn instead, oh yeah and how do you in enforce the libertarian dream of free markets if you do not defend your ability to get your exports and imports to and from anywhere in the world.
You Libertarians haven’t really thought this through have you.

i don't get it. is this sarcasm?

How are bases abroad not part of a defense policy?

the same way was pointing a gun at everyone you meet before they attack you isn't defense

How come a romanian speaks perfect english but i know of no american who speaks romanian? Not a word. I have no idea how to say 'yes in romania. Or Shav-like words.
Intelege?

because romanians didn't have an entire continent to plunder and native populations to genocide until turning into a super power

And here’s me thinking thinking average joe and mott were the peak of maga stupidity.

they are. spending tax payer money is not a sign of stupid. they are smart people taking advantage of stupid people, because they know the imbeciles like joe and mott will not only vote for them, but they won't find anything wrong with it.



these are the asholes who scoff at poor children getting free lunches at school but don't mind the billions going into the pentagon money black hole or paying for the orange baboon's golf trips or the tax cuts for the billionaires.

evil and stupid. an awesome combination

how many times do you need to be told hamas and the civilians are the same?

Shav immediately realized mott was, indeed, THAT thick.

“Zionists permission to set up a colony in Palestine.”

Ummm…there has never been a “palestine”

yeah it was just empty land. someone fenced it off and it just awaited jewish settlers.

kind of like there weren't people in the americas before the europeans settled it.

@mott-the-hoople said
medicare advantage was a program to force “private insurers”to offer LOWER prices to the elderly.

keep digging, you might learn something

yes, and when those private insurers, without your dumb quotes, decided to offer HIGHER prices, breitbart decided to blame biden.

and, i might add, you instantly believed them because it fit your already formed opinions.

@mott-the-hoople said
yes medicare advantage is govt controlled to help reduce prices for seniors

take a sorry sob to hurt our older people doesnt it?

but privately owned.

biden didn't cave into the demands of private insurers so they increase their prices. it's biden's fault, huh

Adding money to the cost and cutting money is essentially the same thing, leave it alone and they don't lose. Spending more money than is coming in and then making choices on the backs of seniors is evil.

cutting a goverment program and refusing to give private companies more money is not, howerver the same thing.

knowing the difference could mean someone not voting for a government official or boycotting a private company, which breitbart fukin knows and hopes its readers are to dumb to realize

damn man 🙄

you have to fukin read the damn link. what medicare advantage, what biden actually cut, is.

@kellyjay said
If you are losing money because of a cut does it stinking matter?

it fukin matters. the truth matters. the context matters.

the title of the thread lied. breitbart lied. Both to get one mad at Biden. Once you get the actual details you see who you need to get mad at. You start asking for more details. Is it actually Biden who adds that extra 30 dollars on the cost or did he just cut a government subsidy towards a multibilion dollar company who in turn punishes you because of that? Why is the government subsidising a private sector anyway. Why is the cut now.

But for you, it doesn't stinking matter. You have just been told by breitbart how to feel about a subject you know nothing about. Go feel yourself.

"Yesterday, the Biden administration continued their attacks on the private sector option for seniors on Medicare, Medicare Advantage. This is the second cut in two years. This latest round of cuts will cost seniors an extra $33 per month. That’s a $396 per year rate increase for a cohort largely on fixed incomes and still reeling from terrible inflation. Medicare Adv ...[text shortened]... . [/b]

so he isn't slashing medicare, he is slashing a private sector option of medicare

@kellyjay said
I beg to differ, removing law enforcement, is a mantra call of the left, allowing millions to come into the country, this is all on Biden. That guy is even flying them, not only is the government allowing the country to be overrun, the left is paying those doing it to come in.

oh look another senile uncle.

This is an article by one of our most respected conservatives. He did
a bit of homework, and highlighted Biden activities which give us pause.

heh things senile uncles say during family dinners that you nod to just so you don't start a pointless argument and make it worse.



This is a rare ocasion i advise everyone to click on a link from the joe, it's hilarious, you won't regret it.

the world kitchen organization was coordinating with Israeli military and still they were shot down.

What a tragic occurence. Netanyahu promises there will be an investigation so that it doesn't happen again. Not that the guilty will be handed over for war crimes, of course. It's just a matter of updating Way of Working files for the IDF, a matter of bureaucracy.

The result? Aid organization more reluctant to help palestinians, which is the fukin bloody goal of the genocidal maniac Netanyahu in the first place.
