Setting it on fire and keeping warm would be a better use of the money

Schumer is a classic case of the joke our capitalist system has become. He’s a greedy pig. A thief. A murderous bum in a cheap suit.

Would be cheap at twice the price!

When do we admit we are at war with a nuclear power?

This is a first in history, two nuclear powers at war. That Doomsday war clock thing should have already exploded. and fallen off the wall.

His choice of wording is interesting. He’s admitting the elites in the Capitol District are one side in the war. Ukraine just provides the cannon fodder.

All of Free Republic’s neocons support this Democrat party position.

Most seem to be connected to the defense industry and/or think tanks.

They could distribute it at the front to any Russian soldier who would switch sides and bring his kit with him. 200 American dollars for you, and for you and for you...

“Yup.

Unfortunately I think most of this here on the FR comes from military background. The breaking and reprogramming goes to their very core and is permanent. Not their fault and very few have the ability to override it after they are out.

Like they say... “Once a Marine always a Marine”. And it is absolutely true... I hope that they someday figure out that reverence to our flag is not reverence to our corrupt government in all circumstances. They are out, they no longer have to follow or trust orders from a corrupt criminal government who does not care one bit about them.

Well said and I’ve noticed that. A few seem to be embellishing their experience to give a veneer of expertise they lack. Hubris coupled with hate and megalomania would preclude them from sensitive positions.

The American military has been using food stamps for over 50 years, people seem to think it just started.

Haven’t you? When you were in were you eligible for food stamps?
