I have NEVER said I wasn't a conservative. C'mon, you know that's true and everyone else knows that's true. That being said, Matty said we can have our circle jerk. So let us live damnit.

I'm not sure I fit with the conservatives or liberals at this point. Certainly the government needs to be reigned in, AND Trump's experience his first time around showed him dems are simply going to stall and attack any agenda he tried to accomplish. So to reduce government some extreme measures are needed.

Where he loses me is on the cultural attacks, govt should have a neutral role on individual liberties, so instead of working toward that he is attacking those whose lifestyles the "religious" right condemn.

I want to have a discussion about Ukraine with conservatives (no Trump hating please, but lots of Russia hating ok)

I get the carrot and stick approach to the Ukraine - Russia war, but where do you fall on a final solution, both the ideal, and the feasible?

What end would you want the Republicans in Congress to pursue?

Just two questions, please?

1_ How can there be talks to end the War with the US and not have Ukraine at the table?

2) Will trump's quote that Ukraine "never should have started this" hurt or help with the talks?

First time since 1934 we spent more on interest payments on public debt than defense


When you hear that the national debt is a national security threat, this is what they mean. Covid, thanks to China, really threw off a lot and spending levels went haywire.

The billions to illegal immigrants, Ukraine, student loans bailouts (not billions, hundreds of millions), and Biden’s build back better spending bill (2.2 trillion and growing).

Not only was it poor policy choices but it could wreck the world economy.

I don't agree lumping Ukraine spending in there because the Ukraine spending is clearly defense in nature. The majority of what we presented as aid about 61 billion was in defense spending either for new contracts with us or on existing military hardware that we will replenish.
