No, they want to weaken us so we're easier to invade/take over.

Secret Service doesn’t protect any of them


Yes they do, they just don't tell anyone.


Heads of state and their spouses, foreign dignitaries and official representatives of the United States conducting special missions abroad also travel with the Secret Service. Some Cabinet members in the presidential order of succession, U.S. Senators and members of Congress receive protection.

Negative ghost rider. Capitol Hill police provide detail for Senate and House leadership. See the Scalise shooting

The Left won't need to de-fund the US military. With today's SCOTUS decision, LGBT community now has protected status under Federal Civil Rights law. The Left will have complete control over the US military within, at most, one generation, and probably sooner.

Our military has needed to be audited for decades. The amount of spending is absurd and I guarantee if someone went over ever cent spent, we could cut billions a year out and not notice a remote difference.

Our government is just bafflingly bad with money.

Good. Conservatives are for reduced government spending. Maybe we could save a few trillion bucks.

There's plenty of fat to cut. Remember the big satanism panic on the 1980s? The USAF wasted a bunch of money on that, somehow. I remember sitting through a presentation at Barksdale AFB about satanism and cults and whatnot. Some chick with a master's degree was going on and on about this crap, and I'm sitting there thinking, hasn't this shite been debunked? And she kept mispronouncing Santeria as "san-tee-AIR-uh."

Now I hear they've got chicks with master's degrees doing presentations about the "incel threat."

That FedBizOps site is also an eye-opener on this topic. Saw a requisition for some A/V equipment at an Army base that specified Monster cables. That is just overpriced crap for idiots. But when you're spending the taxpayers' money, hey, why spend $10 at Radio Shack when you can give Monster $100?

I mean the military is the biggest waster of money in this country by a lot. I think we would be fine not spending billions on new jet technology that rots and rusts in a bone yard and never gets used because...I don't know...reasons?

Ahh, for the days when people bitched because cops didn’t show up in the neighborhood on time because of racism. Now, they don’t want cops in their neighborhoods, and want them defunded, well, kind of like the days when vigilante justice ruled as citizens took matters into their own hands, ignoring due process, and lynched people.

Oh no? That’s not what you want? Please tell us, what will make you happy.

I would normally be okay with reducing military spending but we are currently vulnerable and divided as a nation. If I were Czar of China... I would be partnering with Russia to infiltrate the United States further causing the national guard to be called up and while the US is distracted invade.
They could kill dress up as cops and then kill some black people and some brown people put it on the internet amd all hell would break loose. Tough times we are living in. Hug your fellow humans and drink a beer together.

Considering that we already spend more on the military than the next ten nations combined, our last effort in Iraq hasn't exactly produced great results, and there are currently soldiers in Afghanistan fighting a conflict that started before they were born, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea.




Lets reduce welfare by 5 dollars for every military dollar.

We wanna be the best, but this is correct. Cutting funding to the military doesn't have to mean the soldiers have to go without. It means we gotta cull the "government defense contract" industry of waste, fraud, and abuse.

The military is probably the swampiest of all the fed govs activity but no one is interested in draining that
