    So you are in favor of higher spending and taxes, just so long as a Republican does them? Interesting.

    I’d like to see lower taxes and less spending AND less BS from our govt in general.

    Let me know when you find a candidate that actually does that. Because it certainly isn't a Republican.

    You called him a loser; I’d rather be denigrated!

    Compound annual growth rate in federal expenditures by President for Presidents that served at least part of their term in this century (acknowledging that the budget for the first year of a Presidency is passed by their predecesor):
    Clinton: 3.39%
    Bush: 7.07%
    Obama: 2.5%
    Trump: 13.4%

    In defense of military lawyers, the most badass human being I've ever known is a retired Marine Corp. JAG. Every Marine is a rifleman and Alex had four or five tours in Iraq and took part in many firefights. Along with his Marine bonafides, he's a 6th Dan in Aikido, a ninth Dan in Judo and the most accomplished swordsman I've ever seen. He used to teach hand-to-hand to Marine Corp. Embassy guards.

    DeSantis is a wretched human being. I wonder if he would have even prosecuted the SEAL that Trump pardoned.

    damn facts and numbers just don't match the propaganda. I'm betting MAGA goes with the propaganda and calls them fake facts

    A long deceased mentor was a JAG in SE Asia and would negotiate and pay out settlements with families of neutral who lost members in American bombing "collateral damage". Not for the faint of heart. Not many warm welcomes.
