Does Vance know if he's coming or going? Meanwhile, I see Russia's Transportation Boss was fired and then found shot to death. This sort of thing seems to be on the uptick. Perhaps, Putin is trying to setup others for the blame of his failure in Ukraine.

I'm quite sure because this is a Republican thing, that the rules and paperwork burden of this baby bond will be really easy to follow.

On the one hand, every dictator always is surrounded by such characters. Trump, in this second term specifically wanted those types. On the other hand, Trump doesn't like unity among the folks who surround him. So we may luck out because this bunch may not be able to unite for a coup or...

That many Americans probably don't even know they're on Medicaid............is an important point and may explain why some don't realize they are going to be hurt.

So Trump runs off to Iowa to have his celebration rally? Guess the farmers there haven't figured tariffs out yet.

So, "Putin stands firm on Ukraine." He certainly acts like someone who is confidant that he has some cards left to play. Odd though, his summer offensive hasn't done much so far and he now says he plans to cut military spending next year. Perhaps he thinks he can win by then? By November 1...

Funny they are speaking on the day that BBB passes. Me thinks we are about to see how far Trump is willing to go to hurt Ukraine.

They should have bullied back and pointed out if it didn't pass then it would diminish Trump's ability to touch them. So he would be better off to just fix the Bill. TACO Trump would then soon emerge.

Its been said that if the GOP passes this, that it will be good for Democrats. However, Trump would be much diminished if it fails..........and he knows it. A diminished Trump would be just as good for Democrats. Can't call that a win/win situation. Because if it passes, too many folks...

Yep. Happen to see a post he made. The last sentence was a rant that BBB fed the old industries and killed the new industries. So, its obvious he cares about his own skin and not spending. I would also surmise, that Musk is shocked that a few hundred million only buys so much from Trump...

So Musk really cares about reducing government spending? I thought he was just using the issue as a cover so he could get inside.

So the annual deficit is going from 1.8 Trillion to around 2.1 to 2.2 Trillion. I guess no one cares about that.

When they say this Bill will add 3.3 Trillion to the deficit over the next ten years, what are they really talking about? I assume that's in addition to the current deficit projections? Which means the actual national debt goes up by a whopping number over the next ten years?

“I hope this reorganization will allow us to better manage personnel — to use troops more efficiently and build more capable reserves for future counteroffensive and offensive operations,” Syrsky stated. Ukraine's commanding General Syrsky made this statement when he stated Ukraine would...

Russia's Shahed drone factories have recently been a major target for Ukraine. Seems Russia is ramping up their use, and even plans to have the slow moving drones manufactured in North Korea. But there was a report that Ukraine is getting creative and may deploy propeller planes with machine...
