I mean that’s unfortunately just the normal military budget lol. There’s no extra money in there for a war. That’s the peace time budget.
“Peace”
peace(and a couple forever wars, covert ops, and constant posturing)
jfc all it takes is a fake war for the corporate Dems to throw everything away … terrible
Because they get filthy rich on no bid contracts and insider trading just ask Pelosi
I’ve lost all hope in this shithole country.
stay out of spite, and start organizing
have you been studying in socialist theory? if so, then is it okay i can have some tips on making studying socialist theory easy and fun?
time to organize
Oh, now the MIC does something? Strange, they seemed to be oddly quiet when it comes to Ukraine. I’m always a bit surprised the MIC isn’t all in on sending both old military stock and newly developed stuff there for testing and recognition. So much money to be made. It can also be quite the advertisement if your 30-year-old tanks can crush the mighty modern Russian army. Including the invincible T14 Armata shown off in 2015.
This was their times to shine, and even the most hardened anti-war peace lovers would have been forced to thank them for it.
Well there was funding for Israel in it you see, so they had to.
This bill getting funding is a SOP vote. No one dares not pass this.
94 Democrats dared, but thats under the assumption that a different bill would take its place.
Yes, it’s the same party.
does anyone have any tips on making studying socialist/communist theory easy and fun as well?
Yeah, building upon a theory of winning local elections to enact change into a democratic socialism with minimal bloodshed and without any risk of authoritarians taking control. 100x more palatable than Tankie dribble for the general public.

The Dems should be blocking all votes like the GOP did under Obama. Fuck them.
Unfortunately that’s not their job. They are bribed to ensure NDAA always goes through. Voter sentiment on yet another war for oil be damned.
Until we stop the legalized bribery this will not change.
Evidently voter sentiment isn’t strong enough to vote for someone else!
Ah yes, the candidate fron tge other party who voted yes.
ABWD at work
venezuela? huh? did i miss something?
Yes, the USA has been bombing civilian ships off the coast of Venezuela and just the other day captured an oil tanker ship. It’s actually among the reasons stated for Pete Hegseth’s upcoming Impeachment vote.
The US is going all Russia on them, airspace violations, stealing ships and stuff
This is far from an appearance issue. 18 Republicans also opposed the budget. If every Democrat had joined the 18 Republicans in saying no, this budget would not have been approved. Every politician – Democrat or not – who approved this budget needs to be voted out, no questions (if we get the chance). Primary the Democrats who voted “Yea”.
“There’s always money for bombs” but $900 Billion is absurd; and Democrats are screwing everyone over by encouraging this war. We do not want MAGA to have Wartime Powers. We do not want JD Vance, Stephen Miller, and Mike Johnson to have Wartime Powers.
Thank you for linking this, as this is indeed enraging but my oh my this is data gore if I have ever seen it…
Am I looking at a spreadsheet with the front panel unscrewed leaving all the wires hanging out or something?
I move my mechanized infantry from hex 3042 to hex 4035 for 6VP
Good Lord, what a day to have eyes.
Wow, that is one of the worst diagrams I’ve seen in quite a while.
Is this Minesweeper?
Similar number of red flags on the map anyway

This is usually by design to protect risky seats and give the impression that they were opposed for political points. In essence those 18 Republicans are only enabled to vote no because they know Dems are supporting this passing. If more Dems voted no, less Republicans would have.
Bluth: there’s always money to bomb Afghanistan, Michael
This bill also removed the right to repair requirement for military contracts. So if that $100 million jet from Lockheed martin breaks then we have to pay them whatever they want to fix it.
This creates a great incentive for the military contractors to build quality durable hardware …
The bill, which is now bound for the Senate and which authorizes more than $900 billion, includes “critical pro-Israel provisions,” according to AIPAC.
More genocide money. Fuck America and Israel.
Not surprising, about %50 of democrats are impostors. They would easily switch to republican party if they riskrd losing their seats.
So anywhere from half-to a majority aren’t Democrats in your mind?
Sounds like that’s just what Democrats are and you’re struggling to come to terms with it.
There’s a reason we scoff at the notion of “far left” in US politics. Their options are right wing and fascist.
You forget how conservative alot of democrats are and have been for decades.
Guess US needs more oil huh
“Nah, I heard oil… THAT SHIT MINE!”
