Rep. Adam Smith (D) shows Dems how to speak about this war plainly and effectively!

When asked if Democrats should vote for another dime for this war, he said "Absolutely not. They should not." This is a direct quote from him today: Put the goddamn taxes back on the table. You want war, you want a military of this size? The fuckin' pay for it. It makes me angry."

People understand when you speak like that. The insane tax cuts for billionaires need to be repealed to pay for this war instead of taxing the working people of this country. And when you put it like that, people understand.

Then the military! 85%+ of our budget and look what we are left with. A huge number of our ME bases destroyed because of ignorance or intentional obliteration. Either way it is a disgrace!

and some people (a minority) are too blind to see that they were completely sold a bill of goods. Either that or they don't care enough to inform themselves.

Spoke of supporting Project 2025 and people still voted for him. He told us what we would get on day one and then he socked it to us!
