Well good thing the U.S. economy is rock solid at the moment, and we have excess money to burn.
Otherwise we might start seeing bipartisan anger at a president and administration who have spent $134 million dollars to force a state government to do what the federal government says, while undoing previous federal orders regarding civil rights bc they were an unjust burden to states and a waste of the American tax payer dollar.
So DOGE's cuts saved just
over $150 million(apparently I can't read), and we've already burned through most of those saving mobilizing the national guard to tear gas people foolish enough to claim Trump isn't king? Fantastic. I am so tired of all this "winning."Edit: I misread some stuff but the essence of the absurdity I am directing my anger at remains the same. Fuck fascism.
134 million to move 2700 troops. What the actual fuck.
Where you been?
This is how the military works. How you think they can set a trillion dollars on fire every year just to maintain parity with Russia and China? By being WILDLY overcharged for fuckin' everything that's how. The US Military is the worlds biggest money laundering operation.
Oh I knew it's bad, but when hearing that amount to move troops basically inside the same state just amplifies the wtf.
There's a jobs program in there somewhere.
And they aren’t even feeding or housing them.
This is how the industrial military complex survives by over billing for everything

On private charter flights courtesy of Global X I'm guessing.
Everything President Felon does will cost us a ton of money. Debt will skyrocket, savings will be a prehistoric memory, and he will spend every penny he can. He is the worst business man ever, he bankrupted casinos.
Imagine what it would cost if they also had food and shelter.
The stupidest part is, local news is reporting... dozens of protesters at this hour. Goodness, whatever will we do...?
So far

Sorry, no we fucking won't.
Highest courts (SCROTUS) bought and paid for. Congress has abdicated all responsibilities/oversight. Legacy media cowed into subservience.
Those who worry we're on our way to "authoritarianism/facism" or "unitary executive", I've news... We're there Right Fucking Now.
