#2 ....no one wants to admit the truth, because it is easier to continue spending money on the “war.”

20+ years in AFG might serve as a validation of that statement.

#3 About 2-3 trillion poured down the drain after 20+ years of WOT?

The thing is, Russia hasn't harmed shit to the US money wise. We are a very rich country and an additional trillion to Ukraine is pocket change.

McGregor is a cuck for the media, always has been. I would take anything he said with a truckload of salt.

#5 I'd say its the people making money off the war who are making spending easy then flood the zone telling taxpayers its for their own good.

But I"m rich. Here, let me sell my third boat to some Africans so Elynskyy's mistress can get her tits done.

#6 I'm totally unconvinced funding Ukraine is of any value to the USA whatsoever.

Nothing the media pushes has changed my opinion.

#7 I don't think this country has ever recovered yet from squandering blood and treasure in Vietnam. You might think we're rich but with $32 trillion in debt I think we're really on the verge of bankruptcy. I just had to pay my quarterly estimated tax and it hurt. Don't tell me I'm rich.

#8 /\ The rat bastards don't trust to pay our taxes on April 15th. They've got to have it quarterly.

If you paid a bit too much, expect them to get around to repaying you in May or June.

#10 -Pays Taxes-

-puts Blinker Fluid on grocery list-

Wife: what is this?

Me: The only thing we can afford.

And when I want to get really mad, I'll think about this year's taxes paid and realize its only Elenskyy's one night of blow.

#11 "Accused the United States of stupidity"
Is this before or after you got your commission?
