Republicans told their voters "the most important thing going on in the world right now is the war in Ukraine" and helped Biden send around $60 billion in aid in the last six months. But now they're outraged about fiscal irresponsibility. This is why the GOP is the Stupid Party.
Socialism for Raytheon is fine, of course
Democrats punish the middle class by placing the burden of loan forgiveness on their shoulders
Republicans punish the middle class by forcing them to fund (and sometimes fight in) war and to subsidize the defense industry
Democrats redistribute wealth to their constituents: college educated libs and the underclass
The GOP redistributes wealth to the defense industry and elsewhere in the private sector -- but it's fine because muh freedom
The actual problem with this is that the GOP has completely blown up the moral ground to claim that this is an irresponsible and reckless policy, when the GOP has supported policies that are just as awful for Middle America. There's no way to avoid this hypocritical image

Republicans look hypocritical talking about "fiscal responsibility" on college debt after helping Biden steal billions from Americans to fund the Ukraine grift, after making it a talking point that Biden has not given Ukraine *enough* support.
Once again, Republicans are fine with muh socialism -- as long as it's socialism for the GAE
For the record, my position on student loan debt has always been to plunder university endowments amgreatness.com/2019/06/30/all…
Whenever respectable conservatives ask the right to compromise with barstool people, whenever the aloof "art right" whines about moral panic and too much politics, remember that this is what they're asking you to minimize and/or ignore
It's hard for people who don't have kids, or don't want to have kids, to understand. But I don't care--the world won't belong to childless, permanent children. It will go to the people with the strongest will
People who *do* have kids and don't find this appalling are the worst, however
I have to wonder if the appeal of Andrew Tate to young men on the right isn't partly that the alternative is David Portnoy, who *has* been propped up by the "new right" as someone for young conservatives to look to. I'm not a fann of either and they're similar in some ways
Tate and Portnoy both basically enjoy the same kind of sex: violent. The difference is Portnoy is a male feminist, is pro-abortion, and constantly reminds us that he "loves and respects women!"
In other words, Portnoy lies about who he really is, unlike Tate, who is honest
You could argue Portnoy is as abusive as Tate. The difference, again, is that Portnoy masks that unsavory side of himself with his embrace of liberal feminism, whereas Tate doesn't hide that side of himself.
This wouldn't surprise me at all if it turned out to be true
Nicholas Luna has also been suspected of being an informant. He was one of five junior WH staffers who followed Trump to Florida. Former Trump WH people told me Luna and his wife are close with Kushner and both went with the Trump family to Florida.
All this is speculative but man, if you can say one thing about neocons and leftists it is that they stick together against their enemies. This, by contrast, looks like a den of vipers.
The CIA has backed the most bloodthirsty terrorists and militants in the world. There's even evidence the agency helped Mexican narcos torture and murder an American DEA agent.
But to former director Hayden, there's nothing worse than Middle Americans who won't go quietly.
Once again, if you are an American, your worst enemy is not China or Russia but the United States regime. english.elpais.com/elpais/2013/10…
Kiki Camarena was "blind-folded and taken to a ranch house outside the city where he was tortured over a three-day period; his skull, jaw, nose and cheekbones were crushed with a tire iron. As he lay dying, a cartel doctor was ordered to keep him alert by administering drugs."
