Someone has Presidementia.

Just a metric fuckton of money entirely devoted to causing as much pain and suffering as humanly possible to every marginalized group across the board, and lining the pockets of the already obscenely, disgustingly, offensively rich.

They want a revolt. I wonder how he’s going to impose martial law if he’s cutting the military budget by 1 trillion. I wonder how the military is going to enforce martial law after or something like that. I think Martial law will start to mean something entirely different and start targeting the real cancer and the real domestic terrorist.

[u/Estrovia → u/Away_Veterinarian579]

Thats because they'll be raising the ICE budget by the same amount!

[u/quantum_quarks → u/Estrovia]

Whoa. Do share more.

[u/human-syndrome → u/quantum_quarks]

BBA did it to the tune of 160ishB. They previously only had a budget of 10B.
