I along with other at least 40% of the population wants the military budget to increase. We spend 1.5% and that's kinda abysmal. We need to increase that by at least a third, though I'd personally love to see our military budget doubled. The US might be spending a bit too much, but there's no doubt that Denmark and Germany are spending far too little.

It's no surprise, I guess, that this hearing is rather rowdy... points of order, objections, Democrats definitely do NOT want Strzok answering questions, and Strzok is asserting that he is not there under subpoena, but of his own free will, which, he claims, entitles him to 'plead the 5th'.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The fact the GOP will sacrifice this country for the potential to. E in powere strips us all from the capacity to have something better than a hillary as an option. But we must get trump out. And we need to replace any and all GOP members that have shown they will put their own success above the good of the country by bowing to trump and allowing him to give the free world over to Putin.

The majority of the 'wild-eyed conspiracy' theorists have trump's ear pix. Ever since I heard Trump folk buying into the idea the Park Service had 'altered' photos of the inauguration to make it 'appear' as though his inauguration wasn't as big as Obama's it has been clear what sort of 'intelligence' trump listens to. I had friends that ought to know better sending me pics and trying to back up that idiot claim. And Trump has pretty much ridden that wagon of half-wits ever since. So the idea trump might actually have a sensible plan for something other than his own business interests is something I'm understandably skeptical of.
And I have yet to see Trump actually put the US welfare before his desire to be Putin's 'BFF'. As for whether or not there might be a positive spin on what Trump is doing at the NATO summit right now ... I'll wait and see.

To get off my obvious disdain for DT for a moment, I do believe we have been shortchanged by previous admins on the issue of requiring better and stronger contributions from our NATO allies.
So if trump doesn't actually destroy NATO and gets them to do better, that would be a win from my perspective.

There are two great reasons why most of Europe doesn't want Germany to have a large military.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.
MM: First of all, the Bible is a fixed document.
MM on covid-19: We're talking about an illness with a better than 99.9% rate of survival.
seer: I believe that so called 'compassion' [for starving Palestinian kids] maybe a cover for anti Semitism, ...
