  Did you know it’s full of Arabic numbers? What’s wrong with American numbers, huh? This is indoctrination and we shouldn’t stand for it!

  Holy shit I forgot about that. >
  
  So did I, but I live in Minnesota, so it's for entirely different reasons. >

  The goal of the Republican Party is to destroy the United States. >

  Shifting over to discretionary spending, over half of the fiscal year 2023 omnibus package was dedicated to defense spending: $858 billion. In his backroom deal to gain the speaker’s gavel, McCarthy reportedly agreed to cap discretionary spending at the previous year’s levels, which would mean rolling back the defense budget to around $780 billion. He defended that potentiality on Sunday, telling Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo that there was room to cut inside the Pentagon’s budget, especially “money spent on ‘wokeism.’” But that idea hasn’t sat well with other House Republicans, many of whom insist that nondefense spending bear the brunt of any cuts.
  
  lol. Kevin is ridiculous >
  
  So this fool thinks he can find close to $80 billion dollars of DoD "woke" programs to cut? I bet he can't even define "wokeism" in any sort of objective way. >
  
  Woke-ism is just a label to attach to things their propaganda networks tell them to hate. Woke is society changing and old men tying lemons to their belt, as was the custom at the time, rather than just leaving folk to love whom they want and live how they want >
  
  Reality tends to be the biggest enemy of any republican. >
  
  I am sure the military will save a fortune by doing away with the training that tries to teach soldiers to not rape women and to not be racist assholes.  Rapes and murders always improve moral for those committing them. >
  
  Just ask the Russian military. >
  
  Basic math is too woke for republicans.
