I have an idea, let the billionaires and their corporations pay for the war. Especially defense contractors and the oil industry. They have, and will continue, to make a killing off of this stupid conflict.

DEFINATELY! Barron Trump, Donald Trump, Jr. Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump, Jared Kushner!

Great list! Save this!

Linda Harris's avatar

Kegsbreath was just caught a couple of weeks before the first strike making deals: "A report (first from the Financial Times) claims that a broker connected to Pete Hegseth contacted BlackRock in February about making a multimillion-dollar investment in a defense-focused fund. The fund in question invests in major defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, companies that could benefit financially from increased military conflict and spending" So, he has $millions of reasons to prolong this war.

Fred Jonas's avatar

It's a matter of arithmetic. It's cheaper if they give much less money to Congress, who then makes us pay for it, and the defense contractors get more than their money back with extended contracts.

Deborah Newman's avatar

This administration is literally getting away with murder.

That about covers it

Real Apprentice's avatar

Under Trump, it’s always the same formula, protect the top, send the bill to everyone else, and call it “America First.”

Deborah Newman's avatar

America is first to get the bill

Roseann Duchon's avatar

And while that’s going on, Baron Trump turned 20. Maybe sending his boots on the ground in Iran will spark some new negotiations. He may do better at a peace deal than Uncle Jared. Or he may get captured. In the UK military service by the Royal Family is a long-standing tradition. But in the US, since we have “NO KINGS,” Daddy Donald and his kids will never see the inside of a boot camp.

Diane Chantler's avatar

I'm thinking that 'boots on the ground' is another diversionary tactic and that money will end up in his pocket instead.

Fred Jonas's avatar

Count on it! Other than distracting from Epstein, was there some other agenda?

Fred Jonas's avatar

You know, you don't have to be so subtle.

When Diane Chantler said "his" pocket, I took the liberty to assume the rest, just as you have listed them. Although Melania, despite being a gold-digging tramp, does appear to have been a good mother, and the few indications I've encountered suggest that Barron has not adopted the evil and greedy monster theme of the rest of that pack of hyenas.

Melania Trump is A DAMN LOUSY Mother and Parent!

Fred Jonas's avatar

I still say she's mostly just a gold-digger. She's good at it, she was successful, and she got what she wanted. Sure, she had to put out. She didn't mind that. Either she likes it, or it gets her what she wants.

As for who reared Barron, and, assuming he's not at least as bad a human as the rest of his family, what difference does it make? Either his mother did a good job with him, or she was smart enough to find someone else who would.

Paul McElveen's avatar

OH YES, Barron Trump IS! Barron is More Like Donald J. Trump than any of the other Trump BRATS, BIGOTS, OFFSRING AND SHITS!! Melania Trump HAS CONSCIENCE AND NO SOUL! MELANIA TRUMP IS STUPID! NO SYMPATHY FRO ME AT ALL!

Dave's avatar

I'm so sick hearing about Epstein. Remember he was a DEMOCRAT.

Paul McElveen's avatar

SO, WHAT! BOTH Democrats and MAGA republicans, republicans, independents APPEAR IN THE Jeff Epstein FILES! His Survivors and Victims AREN'T! NEITHER SHOULD YOU! SHAME ON YOU!

Michelle H's avatar

Trump was also a Democrat- when he decided to get into politics he told people he would do it as a Republican- they are easier to fool. This was posted in several publications at the time. Actually neither he nor Epstein had any true party affiliations- they were dedicated to themselves first and only.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Fucking thank you, the Q-nuts have been brainwashed it was only democrats instead of the fact that it was sick, rich, fucks with no particular party association.

Sandra's avatar

Maybe you would prefer to remember him every day having to give him massages at whim, or lining you up on the regular for his friends to take advantage of as a teenager, like the survivors have to do all the time.

Paul McElveen's avatar

SURVIVORS AND VICTIMS! THEY DESERVE JUSTICE! DAMN Jeff Epstein, Donald J. Trump, Elon Musk, Ghislaine Maxwell, Melania Trump, Marla Maples ARE ALL SHITS!

Paul McElveen's avatar

Donald J. Trump APPEARS ONE MILLION TIMES IN THE Jeff Epstein FILES!

And hard working Americans are left fitting the bill. If this is what it takes to “Make American Great Again” then I’d rather have a Mediocre America, if it would avoid all this.

Mbp's avatar

How about taking it out of Congress’ pay? They haven’t earned it. In fact, they should have their pay held whenever they can’t compromise.

Mike Hammer's avatar

They won’t read the memo. They’re on vacation.

Elizabeth Ellis's avatar

At least Lil Mikie’s House that has spent more time OUT of DC than IN!

Margie Nobbman's avatar

If Trump and Congress want to pay for the Iran fiasco by cutting health care then let the cuts come by eliminating health care for Trump, Congress, White House Staff and the Cabinet.

Mary E. Martin's avatar

I say knives out Congessional Democrats! Now is not the time to mealy-mouth around about more cuts to healthcare: instead, demand re-instituting billionaire taxes.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

That should be the topline message every day: we can not AFFORD tax cuts for billionaires at this time.

chris lemon's avatar

The dems just can't seem to get around to biting the hands that grease their palms.

Dave's avatar

Get 30 million illegals out of the country and you wouldn't have to worry about Healthcare cuts dumb dumb.

James's avatar

Seriously... people like you are destroying this country and the lives within it.

Fun fact: illegal immigrants cannot apply for Obamacare or enroll in federally funded health coverage, including Medicaid.

I could go on about how immigrants of all stripes boost the economy and have very low instances of illegal activity, but I would guess reading comprehension is not a strong suit of yours...

Claudia Olson's avatar

Clarity! Thank you!

Colleen Wetteland's avatar

Plus the pay taxes and into the programs they get NO benefit from!

embers60's avatar

Those "illegals" you refer to are paying taxes, including FICA taxes for programs like SS, SSDI, and Medicare for which they're ineligible to the tune of billions of dollars annually. Your comment shows a severe lack of actual knowledge and you should consider researching a topic before posting inaccurately with your full, uninformed chest.

chris lemon's avatar

Actually, removing 30 million Fox news viewers, most of whom are collecting Medicare benefits, from select districts before the midterms would go a long way to prevent health care cuts.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

We can see your name at the top of your post. There's no need to sign it as well.

Mary E. Martin's avatar

Whoa Dave - how about we keep the discussion civil and and stop with the name-calling?

Claudia Olson's avatar

Wow, following the trump cult much? People helping people is the Christian way to live. Taking from the poor is the opposite. Bet you call yourself a Christian tho. I will pray for you.

Susan's avatar

The midterms can't come soon enough. Let Bezos and Zuckerberg finance the damn war. They're buddies with these jackasses

Fred Jonas's avatar

Regarding how to refer to the Secretary of Defense, you forgot to add the Secretary of Intoxication and the Secretary of Make-Up Application.

Real Apprentice's avatar

At this point he’s not running defense, he’s auditioning for it. All swagger, no substance, and somehow every briefing sounds like it was workshopped in a locker room instead of a war room.

Fred Jonas's avatar

He's a talk show host or participant. He's a kind of actor. It doesn't require substance. It requires catchy, or provocative, chatter. I have every confidence that you are precisely correct when you say "workshopped in a locker room." And in this case, a locker room with plenty of mirrors.

Roseann Duchon's avatar

My favorite since trump renamed the DOD to the Department of War means that Pete Hegseth is now the Secretary of War or SOW 🐷 for short. “Quiet, quiet piggy.”

Fred Jonas's avatar

Very clever. I wouldn't have noticed that.

Irene Finn's avatar

Maybe Trump should consider rolling back the tax breaks to billionaires on that big beautiful bill? Naaaah, more important for them to live in the lap of luxury at the working class's expense. Put the politicians all on the ACA. Take away their medical paid for by us.

Murray Smart's avatar

Everyone Everywhere Beware of the latest and newest Republican BS line "waste, fraud, and abuse"! It has NOTHING to do with "waste, fraud, and abuse"! It has EVERYTHING to do with how THEY can Screw Everyone with Their Waste - Fraud - and Abuse of Americans and anyone else who gets in their way! They care NOTHING about "waste, fraud, and abuse"! (Example the Trump family at $4 BILLION and counting and not a word from the Republicans). It is just latest Republican line of Bullshit that they will ALL repeat adnauseam like the "political eunichs" they are! And no, Democrats do not have entirely clean hands either. (And they happily screw everyone....including those that support them - which they just use and do not care about. For an up close and personal take read "Burned By Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power are Ruining Our Lives and Planet" by Chuck Collins.)

I posted yesterday that trump has 1 billion dollars in loans. Imagine all the other rich sticks, and their outstanding loans??? But we're the problem

33RR's avatar

Of course. And next trumpworld can cut funding for the Department of Education and the EPA and OSHA and FEMA and the NOAA and all those other services our tax money goes to so Deranged Don can pay for his war. When that’s not enough, Deranged Don will issue more illegal tariffs because he and his cult think tariffs bring in money from other countries, and they will moronically celebrate. Operation Epstein Fury is already a major disaster for the world, and the United States will spiral down even faster with out-of-control costs of living and shortages of everything from gas to food. It’s not looking good with our allies and enemies both sensing that the United Stated has become a worldwide joke.
