Also the deposition where he revealed the dead brain worm was using its damage as an excuse to pay his divorced wife less alimony because he had reduced mental capacity to earn with.
It’s debt by a thousand cuts. Congress doesn’t want to know because most states have lucrative defense contractors helping prop up their economy.
DoD contract obligations, payroll spending, and grant awards in the 50 states and the District of Columbia totaled $558.7 billion, which is 2.2 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. If the total spending were divided across every U.S. resident, it would amount to $1,679 per U.S. citizen. Of those funds, $389.5 billion (70 percent) were spent on contracts for products and services, $159.4 billion (28 percent) paid the salaries of DoD personnel, and $9.7 billion (2 percent) were awarded as grants.
Virginia, Texas, and California topped the list of recipients for overall defense spending. However, Virginia, Hawaii, and Connecticut ranked highest when considering defense spending relative to their respective state GDPs.
The top ten states for total Defense spending in Fiscal Year 2022 were:
Rank
State
Defense Spending (billions)
1
Virginia
$62.7
2
Texas
$58.0
3
California
$56.2
4
Florida
$30.2
5
New York
$28.1
6
Maryland
$26.4
7
Connecticut
$22.3
8
Pennsylvania
$17.9
9
Massachusetts
$15.2
10
Arizona
$15.0
Texas, Connecticut, and North Carolina had the largest overall increases in DoD spending from Fiscal Year 2021 to 2022.
And it’s the line they’ll push to right wing media to convince the casuals that Trump is still ok to vote for. They’re doing the same thing with his convictions. And even Hunters conviction is being twisted to fit their corrupt DOJ bullshit.
Yup we had one go nuts and dump out all our cubbies in 6th grade, because too many of us forgot to bring out work and she was convinced we hadn’t done it and left it in our bags.
She retired at the end of that year.
I had another in HS that threw a hammer at a kid (it was a vocational class), that annoyingly put me off a career in the trades. I wish now that I’d stuck with it. I much prefer working with my hands over temporarily organizing pixels.
Regarding drinking poison. Some of them were attempting to take horse dewormer, and their moron in chief suggested injecting bleach or internal UV sterilization.
To be fair it turned out RFK Jr might have needed de-worming.
But yes, at least this time it’s less risky to the rest of us, though the less human cases, the lower the odds of bird flue evolving to inter-human transmission.
Speaking to the center in swing states is important and Mrs. Clinton failed to bother with MI, PA, WI, or MN, because she thought he was an easy opponent.
There are way more right wing evangelicals who want a fucking apocalypse so their white jesus can come save them from the shitty world they’ve created for us all.

Yeah, I think previous the preceding comment was about the administration’s propaganda about the “broken windows” policy, not the actual directives of the policy.
Thanks for posting the source and details. More of us need to know this.
He’s playing like the charges are too complex for his voters. He may have also been trying to suggest they are just inane technicalities that we shouldn’t worry about.
It’sa fucking act, he knows what he did, he was sure he’d get away with it, and now he’s trying to get out of it. He’ll say anything but the truth.
