To everyone who mocked anyone for pointing out how the parties were similar: WE. TOLD. YOU. SO.

    They obviously don't get it yet considering you barely have any upvotes and the top comment here is thinking we can fix the problem by calling our representatives and giving them a piece of our mind.

    This bill does not just fund the military, it also funds human services, transportation, education, housing and urban development, etc.

    If the DNC were in charge the bills would look very different and all of this madness would not be happening.

    And when trump unilaterally reallocates the funds erarmarked for human services, transportation, education, HUD, etc, you'll act surprised. But at least your republican nazi besties will have the means to murder dissidents. Stop defending shit just because you love the taste.

    If Trump could take whatever he wanted wherever he wanted then we would not have any Medicaid or SNAP funding, and pretty much all forestry workers would not be getting paid either. But that's not the case.

    Bills like this also wouldn't even matter, because in that hypothetical he could just raid the treasury and print money.

    Can't wait for your "Wait! That's illegal!" when he does it anyway.

    Followed of course by the requisite excuses for the second republican party.

    First you claim it is happening then you claim it will happen when called out on the obvious flaw in your logic.

    Reread what I wrote. You're just here to defend quislings. And "here" means "on this planet." Not "in this thread."

    Banjo has previously said that the only thing wrong with what ICE is doing is that it's illegal. They would have no problem with ICE killing people if it was made legal by Congress. Or if Harris did it.

    And they said they would love to enlist in the military solely to kill the people America's propaganda machine has said are unambiguously evil.

    Banjo is simply a troll getting his jollies by causing anguish and derailing threads. He doesnt beleive what he's saying, he goes with odious takes he can think of on many topics all over lemmy. He is best ignored. "givesomefucks" is exactly the same. They might even be the same person.
