Nah, ive brought up Biden is likely to increase defense spending and stayed pretty firmly there. Your list of comparisons all have one stark difference to what I am saying, they are all impossibly unlikely. I dont think you'll be surprised in the future when Biden, again, raises defense spending. Just like we wont be surprised when next year is more record temperatures. Theyre both still very relevant to the present which is causing those futures.
Yo...
That there, is an additional topic. As someone who deals with folks with mental issues, at least here we have written reference to the previous statement... and Im in a position i can pipe up about it.
And, "BiDeN iS LikEly tO ...." wasn'twhat this post suggested to discuss.
It shows true facts of words, said by a man who would want to be the leader of the military again, and points out the differences of respect shown to those who have, do and will serve.
You can conjecture, wonder, ponder, worry and fret all day long. Won't change an outcome you can't control and will waste your own time, basically doing nothing besides causing your own health issues, while you do. Of course, if my guess is right and I've been feeding a troll, your not actually worried or concerned, just sad and lonely trying to upset other people.
Thank you to all have served. Thank you for protecting the rights of your families, your neighbors and strangers of your community. No matter if you chose to, felt like there was no other option, or were drafted. You did what many of us could not. We appreciate your sacrifice for us more than words can convey.
Please remember the shit Trump says about those who serve to protect him and his country, what he thinks about them, and how he treats his fellow citizens. Most adults are couth enough to at least pretend to not be socioipathic psycho maniacs while in public.
OK, whelp... This has been fun but, that's the end of my online spree for this weekend. I have things to do and Jokers to catch. Hopefully this troll is full enough to go nap and leave the rest of the denizens alone for a bit!
Theyre not protecting shit, US military has exclusively invaded other countries the entirety of your life.
I'm convinced more by the other guy. Fun read though!
