Rural MAGA Hypocrisy

 I am still puzzled how Trump is spending tax revenues without the approval of Congress?

It's a question I have been asking a lot. For example, the government of Qatar gave the United States a plane. Why doesn't this go into the general revenue? Why can't we sell it, and reduce the deficit? How about the money being donated to the federal government for the White House ballroom. Shouldn't the president have to go through Congress to get that money appropriated to be used to built it? Intel gave the federal government a huge gift of stock. Why didn't we sell it?==Hiram

Because Trump is an Authoritarian Socialist...

Sometimes I think of political ideology as a circle where the extremes meet. It seems to me to be often the case that extremists at the opposite ends of the political spectrum have more in common with each other than they do with more moderate elements of the political community. Certainly there are many examples of fascists becoming communists and communists becoming fascists. Hitler's fascist party was formally named "National Socialist German Workers' Party" which sounds very socialist to me. Fascism itself is so widely used in such different ways an contexts that it is really incapable of being defined in any dictionary sense, but it still can have meaning. My personal and highly subjective and eminently disputable idea is that Fascism is one way to describe a unification of government with big business. Trump's inauguration and his administration dominated as they are by billionaires and oligarchs strikes me as very fascist.==Hiram

People with strong beliefs seem to want to force them on others

It is often the case when I express my views, people think I am trying to impose my views on them. When I say what I think, people assume I am telling them what they should think. I hope this is never the case. I am not omniscient. I am often wrong. There are are plenty of reasonable opinions I do not hold. And more often than not, it isn't a question of right or wrong, just different priorities or different perspectives.--Hiram

What do you want the government to enforce through laws?

Is this because you believe in them?

Or because they are aligned with the Constitution and pragmatic way to make the USA remain strong and healthy?
