re: #316 The Vicious Babushka

Yay. Let’s reinvade a sovereign nation that is a nominal ally and steal their oil. What kind of asshattery is he supporting here? Trump’s policies so far seem to be an amalgam of:

1) ignoring the plain language of the constitution (see 14th Amendment);
2) imposing a police state under claim of deporting illegals;
3) building walls and getting foreign nations to pay for it even though no one in their right mind would ever pay for any of it - on either side of the border;
4) turning Mexico into an enemy of the US - militarizing US borders all while raising xenophobia and racism and hate to 11ty;
5) stealing (because taking just doesn’t truly convey what he’s after) natural resources of foreign nations that we previously invaded and withdrew from (Iraq).

Rather than say, identifying that we don’t need to build a hanger queen like the F-35 and choosing instead to use the money from the plane program to expand VA funding accordingly (and there’s roughly 1 trillion dollars involved in the F-35 program over its service life).

And that’s just the “policies” he’s proffered in the last couple of days.
