Politicians waste our money on bombing them
now they waste our money to giving them free room and board
but Americans get nothing. How about keep the bombs and food and let Americans keep their own money.

But, we don’t have the resources to rescue the remaining citizens trapped in Afghanistan?

Screw that! Biden should resign, be impeached, or otherwise removed from office, along with Kamala-toe and the rest of the flying monkeys of the lef.

Sure. What’s another $30 billion on top of the trillions we’re already in debt. Where’s the $3.5 trillion “infrastructure” bill?

Elect people who like to spend other people’s money? Is that what an elected official has become?
