    A reminder that Q1 25 federal spending under Trump has increased over Biden’s Q1 24 spending. A reminder that tariffing the fuck out if the world will only exponentially increase spending.

    Not that anyone pro-Trump/conservative actually cares about reigning in spending. It’s all an excuse to punish brown people and poor people.

      These are the same assholes who claim they want small government then cheer government curtailing rights when it’s something they didn’t like (women’s rights, religious freedoms, sending people to prisons in foreign countries). Government spending is just a magic word they use for “things I don’t know about or don’t care for”

        Don’t forget expanding the welfare state so the “welfare queen” companies can loot the taxpayers dry with no barriers.

        Trump will have to care about the debt. A lot of it matures soon and needs to be renewed, but his antics caused the rates to spike so it’s going to cost bigly. Or ignore it and break the entire system what’ll be even more fun. It’ll be entertaining to watch either way.

    So I guess Trump’s “I’m not planning for a military parade” statement was another lie. What a surprise.

      I don’t mind being shot standing up for what’s right, but I don’t want to be shot in the ass.

    Coincidentally, Trump’s birthday this year and the 250th anniversary of the US Army fall on the same date. If the parade is for the military and not for Trump it’s not really that unreasonable.

    They represent the Army’s most recent blueprint for its long-planned 250th anniversary festival on the National Mall and the newly added element — a large military parade that Trump has long wanted but is still being discussed.

    The Army anniversary just happens to coincide with Trump’s 79th birthday on June 14.

    What an infuriating coincidence.

    I could have sworn this was a fake story, if this is actually real we have gone full North Korea…
