Add liars, cheats, thieves to that list - both sides of the aisle and everywhere in between.

Glad that didn't drag on and become an even larger distraction. Smart to move on.

While I can definitely appreciate your sentiment towards our vets, with a 36 trillion dollar debt (and counting), I would say that doing both is not feasible. 50% savings on wasteful spending isn't going to clear that debt up. Private sector donations would be the way to go. For those who feel that strongly about helping out our vets, donate time, money (if you have it) and professional resources (pro bono work). We need to quit relying on the government to be our savior. They are the exact opposite. Separate yourself from government reliance. As people depend on handouts, they become passive. They don't push through obstacles. They wait for government help. Certainly there are plenty of those who do require assistance, but there are way too many that bleed the system - including our beloved politicians. They use frivolous handouts and deficit spending to garner votes - and to line their pockets. The vets are very important - but so is the well-being of ALL Americans and the strength of our economy.

I would respectfully disagree. Btw, both my parents were United States Marines - my Dad was a lifer... 30 years. First, we need to address the deficit. I would say that the administration needs to come up with (and adhere to) a budget for ALL programs while making sure there are ample funds for veteran's programs. I wouldn't just start throwing money at ANY program without a realistic budget. Additionally, as relates to veterans, I would hope for a revamped VA before I just poured money into that cesspool of inefficiency. Let's get the deficit addressed first which is only going to happen with unpopular and difficult cuts and doing away with frivolous uncontrolled spending. I'm not saying to kick veterans to the curb. I'm saying that we need to get our house in order before we keep spending additional monies that we don't really have.

1. Calling people "dummy" isn't very Christian-like. I would expect more from you. 2. You left off "Ho" from Kamala's resume'.

Be that as it may, for this game, the “Poor Silsbee” comment is a fair one.

I would too, but how does that have anything to do with my comment? Who didn't make the playoffs?

Just a thought. Get better defensive athletes. They’ll get better. -
Young lady, not to be rude, but, how many moons are in your world? Vidor has a better chance of being voted most desirable city in the US than their team winning this game. I'll be rooting for them, but I'm not expecting anything in return...

Trump Nominates Pedophile as New Attorney General
SmashMouth replied to HuntersLaptop2028's topic in Political Forum
I probably would not have chosen Gaetz as AG just because of the optics of it all. That being said, I don’t think he’s been proven guilty of anything. I hope he does a good job. -
Student debt forgivness backfires BIGTIME!
SmashMouth replied to Separation Scientist's topic in Political Forum
So you don't have it to post again? I'm genuinely interested. -
As long as it falls within the guidelines of the tax code, and I don't a.) have to repay it or b.) get penalized for it, then I don't have an issue with it. I don't know what the definition of "fair share" means to everybody, but I'm pretty sure I fill that requirement and then some.

Where did you find that? I can't seem to find any proof backing that up. I would be interested to read it. Thank you. -

Beaumont West Brook (17) @ Barbers Hill (31) - FINAL
SmashMouth replied to jdawg03's topic in High School Football
I wasn’t being political at all. I was replying to a direct question: “The Bruins are 10-30 the last four years under his leadership. “So tell me where would that be considered acceptable in any field of work?” I wasn’t placing support for or against anything or anyone politically speaking. Just using a fact-based example to strengthen the previous poster’s argument that a coaching change is needed. -

You are correct. Look at what it did to Biden/Harris! Lol. -
This should be what you said of Biden and Harris in the 2024 election.

You were an adult. If a teenager gets behind the wheel of a car after a night of drinking, crashes into a car with a family and kills them, should that just be dismissed because the adult teenager had not turned 20 yet? Makes no sense, ma'am.

Shane Gillis has an awesome Trump impersonation. Jamie Foxx's is on point too!
