    These fucking morons don’t understand a thing about soft power. They’re so ridiculously eager to remove the US from a place of global leadership. The next decade is going to be wild beyond anything any of us millennials have ever lived through.

          If he orders it, they’ll go. They can’t afford not to. It’s an economic draft, and the poor are about to get even poorer.

    “When you ask those guys, why can’t you spend more on national security, their argument is because it would require us to make cuts to welfare programs, to unemployment benefits, to being able to retire at 59 and all these other things,” Rubio said. “That’s a choice they made. But we’re subsidizing that?”

      They don’t seem to mind subsidising Israel’s free healthcare, education and affordable housing.
