motonoggin Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 They're all on the same team when it comes to this shit guys. Partisanship is Kabuki theatre for the ignorant and stupid.

Snoslinger Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I’m guessing the dems realized it was going to happen anyway, and figured they’d get some other funding with it. “In order to avoid political fights over non-defense spending levels, lawmakers agreed to package the military budget bill with the full-year funding for the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Education.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dems would not have introduced this massive of a military spending bill. They would not have downsized to our liking though either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoslinger Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Not too long ago the dems were chastised for not enough military spending. “We need more navy ships” “our military is depleted “ they all yelled. Now all of a sudden the repukes want to point some fingers at the dems for the increased military spending. Funny how that works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
