That would need a very quick way to obliterate a democracy. As previous Supreme Courts have pointed out, if all they have to do is revoke your citizenship, then nobody has any rights.

This isn't just a visa, he has a green card. They want to revoke permanent residence for using your first amendment rights.

Yeah but there's a Gulf of difference between Afghanistan and Ukraine. There's other countries that manufacture spare parts and have maintenance experience willing to help. Ukraine also has a technological sector of it's own. Afghanistan was completely dependent on the US.

Don't get me wrong, we shouldn't be here. Trump is a fucking idiot asshole. But Ukraine shouldn't be panicking yet.

The Ukrainians were already doing those updates for their non American jets, I think they'll probably be okay in that realm.

To be fair the article in this case is entirely speculation.

On the heels of, apparently meaning after a whole ass year. You're going to give a lot of people heart attacks making it look like they approved a third term.

Yeah, even if we elected rational center left leadership for the next few decades, it would take 30 years to be trusted again and we'll still never recover our previous position of responsibility.

They can't switch off the F-35's. Countries can absolutely load their own mission program. They just aren't allowed to by agreement. If that agreement becomes useless for whatever reason then the country can just load it themselves.

If the government collapses then your money is worthless anyways.

And yet at 40 million a year, I don't think inflation is going to bother you ever again. That's good advice for relatively small payouts like 10k, but at a certain point the annuity becomes an effectively unlimited credit line.

It's about the annuity amount. You're right in a straight race to make as much money as possible. But once the annuity reaches something like 200k it's far safer for most people to take the annuity. You can buy nice things, quit your job, and invest. Crucially though, if you fuck everything up, you get topped up again next year. It's an exercise in how much money do you really need? For example how much boat could you buy and maintain for 8k/mo? I suspect the answer is, a lot.

They're deleting Medal of Honor recipients. Famously DEI position that...

Doctors, lawyers, and teachers. This is a lot of words to say any doctor, lawyer, or teacher helping "undesirables" cannot participate in PSFL.

He publicly denied knowledge of what happened in the last 4 years. While blaming Biden for things. He's either a dumbass or completely bereft of any connection to honesty.

Oh that's going to get shredded. The only reason they have kept to that agreement is our continued military support.

Pray tell, how is Taiwan supposed to militarily resist China on their own?

Centralized payment vendor sold as better for accountability and efficiency. Owned by Musk.

Unless your goal is to create inefficiencies that pay you...

They fucked the US embassy compound in Sudan, effectively shut off their power, water, and food. I'm not sure if that's been fixed yet.

He doesn't care as long as he gets to be the man behind the desk. He's a manbaby. Elon is the one actually running things. There's pictures of Elon talking to the cabinet while Trump is asleep and any time a cabinet member pushes back against a DOGE directive Trump backs up Elon. What Elon wants is for the government to be utterly shattered so he can rebuild it as a private entity.
