No they can't because that funding is appropriated by congress

Still, the fact is that legalizing drugs does lead to more use. It wasn't just the crime, in Oregon overdoses rose >500% after legalization and Columbia found huge increases in cannabis use in states where its legal, like 26% increase and even increases among the youth.

Yes that was my point

I mean, this is because having real discussions with the left gets you nowhere and they are either regurgitating think tank propaganda or have a worldview shaped by super abstract theories. There is no point in having a good faith debate with the average left winger because they hate everything...

Can't prove a negative, is there any source or proof that DOGE did anything here?

Pretty sure DOGE did absolutely nothing here and this is the result of the executive order. AFAIK DOGE is planning to spend more money in the short term to bring on software engineers, lawyers and HR folks to be placed in every agency.

The idea that dealing with the cartels will be worse than Iraq is hilarious and not something a serious person would propose. Nobody should ever defend themselves because it only makes more enemies you can never beat. This is why no war has ever been won in the history of the world and...

Thats literally evil and we should not be forcibly stealing babies. Send them all back wtf

They've got a long way to go before they're a state but having that territory is strategically vital and we should do everything in our power to own it.

I'm really not sure what you're even trying to argue at this point?

No dude, a core tenant of marxist is "from every man what he can give" and they fully believe anyone who doesn't have a "real job" is a leech on society. This includes CEOs, bankers and house wives.

Oh but it is, for instance that post you're quoting is responding to the leftist hating on this woman for not having a job. Even if they don't actively know this is what their politics leads to, this is the end goal of state leftism.

The specific attack here is that she doesn't have a job. Leaving aside she could get home before him or work from home, they really hate anyone who isn't a cog in some corporate machine. The leftist thinks everyone should work for a megacorp and that the government should heavily regulate...

Trying not to totally dox myself, though I definitely did on alternatehistory years ago so not like it'd be too hard to find, but yeah not quite metropolis but thats not far off.

I am from the Illinois side of Paducah, Kentucky. There's nothing but coal mines and farms around there. I think its a distinction but not a super important one, they tend to describe a similar thing just from different geographies and are used by condescending city and northern folk...

I'm literally from the Kentucky border, grew up in a town of a few thousand and speak with a southern accent, gtfo of here lmao. I /am/ a redneck and even if I've moved my entire family and almost all of my friends are still the stereotype of "redneck."

Cutting taxes leading to economic growth is something every serious economist, liberal or conservative, agrees upon (its also self evident.). It's also not some right wing ideal liberals generally agree as well they just think there are non-economic reasons to keep taxes high on certain people

That person either just made that up or is repeating left wing propaganda and likely doesn't know any red necks.

Seleucids were too Persian and and thus probably couldn't extend westward beyond Greece even if they managed to conquer greece (which they likely would in a scenario where Rome isn't strong enough to push back on them.). Honestly the balance of power was pretty nicely defined and Rome was able...

Its honestly not worth even answering this question, its such an obvious and blatant grift that you can't ask whats the problem in good faith Sure thats a problem, but if it was done by some think tank or a literally who no one would care all that much. Its the fact its an obvious money grab...
