IMO other than job creation and to a lesser extent budgetary balance, Republicans should stay silent on the state level.

Social issues take a higher precedent, especially when they can integrate with economic issues.

For instance, "Balance the budget by cutting abortion funding!" is actually going to be effective.

Abortion shouldn't be overemphasized, but really, to me, immigration isn't really a state issue, even though it can be effective as John Bel Edwards proved in Louisiana.

Yeah, but these omnibus bills where they capitulate on everything don't help them

If you can incorporate it, do that. But you usually can't.

For "conservatives" they sure are making a ton of concessions.

Yeah, the budget bill is just bull.

It's basically "Let's fund abortion to increase the deficit!"

If you want to compromise on economic policy, do it by encouraging families and children.

Call your reps

This thread by the randlet sums it up pretty well:

Yeah, this bill is awful.

Why the fuck are we spending money to destroy weapons

Yeah yeah "muh human rights" but the fuck

We're taking away our own arms stockpile at the cost of the taxpayer

We should've cut military spending, really

The thing with chemical weapons is that you have to spend money to maintain or destroy them.

Otherwise you can accidentally use them on the public

That's fair, but in that case why develop them at all

Some benign diseases, most notably Lyme disease, are actually believed to be the result of US chemical weapons making it out of labs.

And the Arms Race during the Cold War involved building enormous amounts of them just in case we needed a way to destroy, say, a billion people without nukes.

They were actually used until George H.W. Bush, basically.

Lyme disease was basically developed to serve as a nuisance to make enemy troops unable to fight so we could capture them and torture them.

In all likelihood

I have no clue why Trump is putting so much money into the military, the only justifiable reason I could think of is if he's preparing to solidify control and make himself the King of America

I wouldn't be too opposed to that tbh

@FLanon military industrial complex

Supposedly it's because he can't get the funding to control the border so he has to make us safe using an alternative means

but more realistically, California has started its own navy

They're getting into more BS with the USG.

We might be facing a civil war.

Hey, we'll have to see
