Why is the most powerful military on earth still fighting ground wars?
If the idea is to hunt down and kill the enemy before they kill us, is it really necessary to provide the enemy with easier targets?
8 AnswersMilitary3 years agoWhy don’t Senate Republicans want to eliminate the filibuster rule completely?
If they did, they could “do what is best for America”, without Democrat obstruction.
3 AnswersPolitics3 years agoDo cons whining about the Democrats shutting down the government know that Republicans can end the filibuster rule with a simple majority?
If the Democrats can’t filibuster, they can’t do 💩. Senate rule changes only require 51 votes. They eliminated the filibuster for SCOTUS, now if they finish the job they can run America “the right” way.
2 AnswersGovernment3 years agoSame question again, why haven’t the “adult” Republicans spanked the obstructionist Democrats by ending the filibuster yet?
Republicans keep telling us America is with them, and they can fix what Obama broke, but wasted a year being blocked at every turn by the “America hating” liberals. How much longer will they make America suffer?
5 AnswersGovernment3 years agoIsn’t it amazing that cons are willing to allow a gvmnt shutdown if they don’t get funding for a wall Trump said Mexico would pay for?
I say allow because Republicans can end the filibuster anytime and the threat ends with it.
12 AnswersPolitics3 years agoWhy haven’t the noble, patriotic, Republicans ended the threat of the evil socialist Democrat filibuster for the good of the country?
Surely they are not afraid of losing it forever? America has spoken.
6 AnswersPolitics3 years agoAfter 8 years of incessant whining from the “fiscally conservative” Republicans, why didn’t they balance the budget?
Obviously they could not eliminate the massive debt, but surely they could eliminate the deficit. After all the tax cuts they passed, they did without Democrats.
10 AnswersPolitics3 years agoWhy didn’t Republicans simply the tax code like they said they would?
Wouldn’t cutting all federal tax brackets in half and eliminating the deductions and loopholes have done a better job? Include return free filing, and you would save even more time and trouble.
10 AnswersPolitics3 years agoIf cutting corporate tax is good for business as Republicans claim, then why didn’t they eliminate them entirely?
Surely that would grow the economy way faster, according to their theory.
12 AnswersUnited States3 years agoRepublicans have total control of the House and Senate and the White House, why is there still a deficit?
You would think the “fiscally responsible adults” would make that a priority.
16 AnswersPolitics3 years agoWhy hasn’t Trump destroyed ISIS like he promised?
19 AnswersPolitics4 years agoPolitics: A neutral non-ideology based question. Why do individuals believe they represent the group as a whole?
Pundits , demagogues, and John or Jane Q Public, speak as though they speak for their friends, religion, political groups, city, county, state and the entire country. Where does it come from?
1 AnswerPolitics4 years agoAre the flag worshipping cultists (patriots) going to start boycotting all businesses that “disrespect the flag” by violating the flag code?
That would include any sports team with a flag logo or any retailer that sold flag motif clothing, napkins, or other disposables. https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL30243.pdf
5 AnswersPolitics4 years agoAnyone else spot the irony of Tommi Lahren calling anyone else a “snowflake”?
I only catch her rants when they hit my Facebook page, but she seems to spend her “final thought” railing about liberals like Kaepernick, who hurt her feelings.
2 AnswersPolitics4 years agoPolitics: Why do trolls in this section feel it is America's job to solve other countries problems or fight their wars for them?
At least one poster wanted to know how many missile North Korea fired over Japanese air space before we should "stop them". Isn't that Japan's job?
4 AnswersPolitics4 years agoPolitics: Which do you think is the motivating ideology behind the NFL not hiring Kaepernick, patriotism, or capitalism?
Would Kaepernick have already been signed for another ridiculous some of money, if not for taking that knee during the anthem?
