Thank the military industrial complex republicans for destabilizing the middle east and getting us into this mess in the first place!

It’s good to know my hard-earned tax dollars are going to kill more people instead of going to some commie plot, like socialized healthcare.

Money well spent, on a worthy cause! They specifically target the weakest and most vulnerable, in order to demonstrate their callousness. They throw homosexuals off buildings and burn people alive, in cages. I have no problem wiping every last one of those a**holes out of existence. I only wish we could get ground forces in there, so it wouldn’t take so damn long!

$9M per day could feed a lot of homeless people and find them jobs so they could fend for themselves. But nooooo…. the MIC gets what it wants and our government is bled dry. Oh wait…they rob Social Security, Medicare and other programs to feed the war monger’s hunger for even more conflicts. Makes me want to puke….
