I here what you're saying. But Trump for two years had a Republican senate and house and he did not do these things. What happened there?
I think what happened is that Trump is a very good performer, but very hardheaded and hard to work with on a personal, cooperative level.

You're absolutely correct. Didn't even make an attempt. At least now he's listening to some people who have his ear. One guy who's got a passion for this and is really articulate about the issue is David Friedberg from the All-In podcast. Another is Elon Musk. I'm hoping (not too confident) that we can make some progress here.

Well, I'm for lower taxes.

But here is the reality, the military will need to take some cuts too. And no more foreign wars. If Trump gets the USA involved in any foreign wars this whole budget situation gets worse.

If there is to be cuts, then EVERYTHING needs to share equal pain.

Under the Biden administration, military spending is increasingly focused on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, (DEI) which waste money and divided the troops. Our military has one job, and one job only, protect the USA/Citizens from its enemies, period. This DEI didn't do anything to further this mission. Not to mention our military has a recruiting crisis, and this was caused by, guess who? The Biden/Harris Administration.
You lefties(swifties) just don't get what a horrible 4 years this administration put our country through. It will probably take trump 2-3 years, if not his whole administration, just to get us out of the mess.

Again, with the lefties. You are calling a gun toting military man a lefty, which sounds bizarre and silly. This is the problem with so many conservatives, you see the world like children. Good vs bad. Us vs them. You think you understand people because you put people in convenient little boxes. Anyone who wants to rein in military waste must be a leftie.

The military is too big. Out military is the epitome of government waste. The military is bloated big government program. Eisenhower warned us about this. After WW2 we had this massive industry built by war and now the money was too good to walk away from. So now we have Cold Wars, Interventions, constant so called threats. Anything to justify spending more of my hard earned money. You conservatives just seem to love your big government program.

You conservatives keep stealing my hard earned money in taxes to pay for your beloved big government military program!

Truth hurt? You dems pushed your woke agenda, and us Americans are sick and tired of it. The election wasn't won by the Republicans, it was won by the 71M people who voted for Trump, including my wife and myself. I am also a proud gun owner, and open carry whenever I can. Even drive across state lines when I am able. Who do you think the NRA endorsed? Trump promised us that NO ONE WILL LAY A FINGER ON YOUR FIREARMS if he wins the election.

Kamala admitted she too is a gun owner, but she was never clear on her gun policies. (BIG MISTAKE) She wanted to ban assault weapons. I'll be damned if I am giving up any of my AR15s. Not to mention she dropped her support for the buyback program of assault weapons.

Dont get me wrong, I am all for stricter gun policies. But taking away our 2nd amendment rights to own guns, ARs, etc?? Bad idea..

Hmm.. I get it. You are trolling me. Haha.. Kudos. I like trolling sometimes, too.

I agree too, I'm not giving up my AR either, or any of my other guns in my arsenal. Or bump stocks that Trump banned. Oh wait.. You forgot that Trump banned them. Whoops. Lollol.. Lol... :) How convenient our memories are.

I voted for "Mickey Mouse." He lost. Oh well, come 2028 I will again vote for Mickey Mouse.

I hear you on the 2A, IM. But what are we to trust? Trump in an interview (YouTube search the vid) when he was Pres said “Take the guns first, go through due process later.”
He also banned bump stops after the Vegas shooting (his order was overturned by saner minds). And….. he passed a red flag law. Sorry Bro, but your Trump is a tyrant. See vid:

Technocracy mania is on a hyper fast track now. None of us can fully fathom what all is to come.
