It looks like they plan for it to be us

You may have heard that Trump and Vought have requested to hike the military budget to 1.5 trillion next year. To do that, they'll be cutting everything else, including the following:

For the second year in a row, US President Donald Trump has proposed significant cuts to the budgets of major US science agencies. Released Friday, the White House's plan for federal spending next year also includes a ban on using federal funds for subscriptions and publishing fees for some academic journals.

The plan proposes cuts to federal agencies that fund or conduct research on health, space and the environment. Some of the steepest cuts would be made to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): the budgets of both would fall more than 50% in 2027 compared to their current levels (see 'Budget crunch'). The budget for the US National Institutes of Health would drop 13%.

Science? Who needs it? We're Murica and we have a military.

It's unlikely the Congress will go along with these particular numbers. But if this GOP majority has its way it will go in this general direction.

1. Trump's 13 year old rape victim is approximately 45-50 now

If she was ever inspired to do so, this would be a great time in history for her to come out and expose the Donald's pedophile behavior on the national stage for the TV world to see.

If it is an experience she could emotionally handle, she could just set the stage for this total piece of shit to be shredded to pieces on the world stage of public opinion.

This pedo needs to be shut down. He's embarrassing to watch, and NATO and the rest of the world are still probably wondering what kind of assholes vote thing kind of turd into office twice? What assholes!"

2. I wonder if Fux or the other RW outlets would carry it. I know the NYT and WAPO would backpage it.
