    So instead of funding USAID for 40 billion, helping hundreds of countries and tens of millions of people we take all that money to give to Trump’s loser fascist friends who squander it all.

    We cut to save money to just blow it later on is not what his bullshit mandate was. In fact, he really hasn’t followed any of his supposed mandates with over 90% of deportees not violent offenders.

    It was all one big bogus lie.

      That’s why Trump is kissing up to them. He’s keeping his options open for when he and his henchman have to make a run for it.

        With any luck of history rhyming, the Allies should have the bunker surrounded before he gets the chance.

          When the caught up with Mengele, they drugged him, and shipped him back to Israel to stand trial in a wooden box, like he was just inanimate cargo. I’d love to see Trump subjected to that kind of treatment.

      Trump’s America is apparently all of both North and South America.

      Slightly amusing in one small detail - I guess USA paying for the US-Mexico wall, under the premise that all of North and South America is USA, means technically ‘mexico’ did pay for it :D:D

      Fuck no, Florida is too beautiful to let the MAGAs have it, or give it away. They can keep the shit hole states like Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, etc.

      So funny. If only Florida wasn’t the state with the 4th highest GDP; around three times that of Argentina. How humerous.

      If Florida is such a hellhole then please stop visiting. If tourism took a hit maybe our government might take a hint and protect the shareholders by backtracking all the asinine policy decisions.

        Don’t worry, as someone that used to live in Miami I stopped visiting all red states.

          If you lived in Miami then complain away. I’m just frustrated with people living in flyover states making the same tired jokes while they are just as miserable.

          It’s still the 4th highest in nominal GDP as listed in the Wikipedia article you linked. Using per capita in a retirement state? The jokes keep coming. I guess all the retirees are just not retiring hard enough to pull their weight.

            Using nominal GDP just shows how bad-faith your argument is. There’s no such thing as a “retirement state”- every state has retired people in it.

            You can make whatever excuse you want- that won’t change the fact that Florida is full of people who are not producing much GDP.

              You just want to move a goalpost that doesn’t even exist. My comment was a response to a low effort joke. If you are looking for a debate based on that then look elsewhere.

              On the topic of Florida being a retirement state:

              Florida is historically in the top three states for its elderly population. We don’t have a state income tax so people flock here to live in their savings and social security. Something around 20% of the population is over 65 and Florida is the third most populous state. I don’t need to excuse that we have a demographic problem. It is a retirement state. All I’m saying is that is a factor skewing the per capita numbers.

                “It was just a joke bro, why are you taking everything so seriously? I was only spreading misleading information about a state’s economy in a conversation about economic policies, no big deal right?”
