Trump 47

milehighpoke said:
I was reading something about trumps (again) insane lie about giving a $1776 "warriors bonus" to all active military. I'd never heard of the term "surf and turf dinner" when it comes to the military. Essentially it means that if the military treats you to a surf and turf dinner, you're about to be shipped out to war. So it's a $1776 dinner.

Is there any truth to that, active or retired military?

So Trump took billions from troop housing and gave it to them as “bonuses” - Got it. A con artist to the end.

Trump rebrands Congressionally-approved troop housing subsidy as ‘warrior dividend’ bonus

More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now it’s being used for $1,776 checks.

I did not get any special dinner prior to deployment. But, while deployed the food in the chow hall was outstanding and they occasionally did have surf and turf dinners. TBH, the chef was an Indian man who formerly was a cruise ship chef. The few of us that liked Indian food and told him how good it was were extra rewarded with all kinds of amazing Indian food.

We were served by TCNs-third country nationals. Helpful but sad, they took care of everything on the base. Mostly Indian or Pakistani. Mostly highly educated people. The guy that served us bread each day was an electrical engineer. And, it was every day. They got no days off.

The guy that cleaned the rec area got burned and I took care of him. He was an electrician by training. He wrote me a letter that if I got him to America, he would do anything and everything at my place for $10 a day. Of course, not ethical or possible, but desperate people do desperate things. Which is why all the “stay in your own country and do it the right way” people don’t have a clue what it is like.

Sorry to keep yapping about this, but, it is time that our nation gets away from the troop worship we have going. IMHO, as a former troop, life in the military during peacetime for most troops isn't all that bad. And, especially for young troops, while the pay is low, it is still better than the civilian equivalent for the level of training. I'd be absolutely fine with another bonus for those who are deployed to a combat zone. But, for the supply clerk in some random base, I think they are doing just fine. Especially with the pay raise of 3.8% (other fed workers get 1%). We are $38 trillion in debt, this is wasted spending. Just feel good BS for the politicians as they continue to avoid the hard problems.

And finally, airlines, all these very healthy 20-30 year olds soldiers don't need to get on the damn plane first. Jeez, let the combat vets on first. Let the peace corp volunteer on first. When I was in, they told us when in uniform, be respectful and let everyone else on first. Now, they are treated like royalty wearing their t-shirt and jeans just for a trip home to see Mama. We can be appreciative of service without being stupidly absurd.
 
ROBERTS: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you. How much of the speech was hyperbole?

LUTNICK: No. What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring the drug down to $13, if you're looking at it from $13, it's down 7 times

R: It's not a 600% cut

L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now. So $13 would have to go up 700% to get back to the old one. So it all depends on when you look at it.

LOL, Trump might as well proclaim himself bigger than Jesus. That he proclaimed before, "I'm not Christian" is totally irrelevant. After all, John Lennon thought the Beatles were more popular than Jesus.

If you don’t think you will live for eternity what’s the one way to ensure on earth that you will live on and be remembered?

What’s funny (and not in a ha ha kind of way) is that most people who live on this way either donated the money and appreciative benefactors named something in honor of the givers benevolence. Or the giver makes the donation and asks that the honor be done in someone else’s name like a scholarship.

Says a lot about a person that does around naming sh!+ after themselves without doing anything to the benefit of others.

Polymarket should have an over/under on the number of buildings/sites around the US that will have Trump’s name.

I would guess that # would be 31.5.

it's a total waste of time and money for tRump to be putting his name everywhere, among other name changes (gulf of America, dept. of war, etc), but this one hits me the hardest (although, since it's a living memorial, he can't do it without Congress approval)...the Kennedy Center is a memorial for god's sake...I will take enjoyment in about 3 years when we start tearing all his stupid $hi! down..."tear down this name."

Why on Earth are Carlson and MTG the voices of reason right now? It makes absolutely zero sense,

At some point I'm sure the semi sane ones (if that's even a thing) will claim they never supported Trump and don't know who Stephen Miller is. Our job is to never let them perpetuate that lie.
