    And I'm not bothering with those too lazy to support their own beliefs.

    This is a little dated obviously but is still applicable to some degree.

    It does not list any individuals or corporations which have profited excessively due to warfare.

    That's ok, you don't want to know, that's more than obvious. And I'm not interested in trying to educate chicken hawks who defend genocide and other crimes against humanity from the comfort of their keyboard, they can never be educated. Like I said the videos that you never bothered to watch are meant for those who really care, they are not for you.

    Only lazy people link to videos to "support" their position. If your position is worth anything, it is worth you writing out the points in its favor.

    This is such an incredibly phony post. It would take several hundred pages to transcribe the 2 videos and nearly impossible to convey the context. It doesn't even matter, one video has exactly what you're asking for (a list of corporations) on the preview photo written all over the tank. Talk about lazy, you're describing yourself, you never bothered to watch either of the videos, the second one is over 1 1/4 hours long. I have watched both on multiple occasions. Why don't you just admit you're not interested because you defend war crimes and other crimes against humanity because you believe these atrocities keep you safe and that's all you really care about.

    That would be good as well - Homeland security being right at the top - along with cuts to defense spending.

    Define what you mean in "bad shape" if you would.

    Under strength, hard ware worn to a frazzle short on replacement parts, most crucially flight hours down for pilots and flight crews which has severe negative consequences for both safety and effectiveness this is especially so for carrier operations.

    I don't remember exactly, but it is something like only about half the units were combat ready.

    He can’t spend it until congress gives it to him first. Congress spends money. The president can only ask for it.

    Sure he can, but everyone will bitch about the government shutting down. I won’t but most will. Then there is a fist fight over pork barrel spending.
    At least now we aren’t being raked over by NATO and on trade deals.
    The “real” conservative republicans were happy sending our money overseas.

    His 2 last goals before the election are breaking up the Sanctuary peasant cities and finally taking on the Evil EU !
    He has done everything he said he will but a few things ??? He has failed to take on the Tech Giants but that may change if he wins

    The tech giants are tricky. Although they don’t play fair they still have rights.
