I wish I could hold every position and just chose the one that fits my narrative the best.

    Remember when Tomi Lahren complained about how hard it was being a woman in a conservative space and the level of misogyny she has to face everyday by people on her own “team”. Guess it wasn’t enough to make her reconsider.

    If i want Tomi Lahrens opinion on anything, I’ll just take a dump and ask the fellota what it thinks. Cuts out the middleman.

    I can’t be as stupid as I am and have so many people out there be stupider than me.

    She’s saying that like the US was just shipping cash to Ukraine. I’m pretty sure all those aid packages were actually giving the money to various defense contractors to purchase and then ship the military hardware to Ukraine.

      Mostly. About 30% is/was cash, but most of that is/was for humanitarian stuff, like rehousing refugees. Also, the US has been watching its donated equipment and cash very closely and can tell you exactly how much is going missing. Even in the US there will be missing money and equipment, and the US routinely donates things to countries more corrupt than Ukraine, so it’s not like they’re completely inexperienced at this. Anyway, not much has gone missing, and as the war goes on Ukraine has become less corrupt as a result of necessity and US aid, especially around military stuff.

      Most of the aid packages was stuff the US military already had in stock. They just sent the old stock to Ukraine, and rotated in new stock bought from American contractors

    why, yes. we should “audit every penny”–beginning with everything any trump, or musk, or trump nominee or appointee, or supreme court justice, or congressional committee chair or chamber leader has their grubby mitts on. every account. every asset. every large donor or source of a ‘gift’ or ‘favor’ of any kind.

    Tomi irritates me to no end but don’t think she’s stupid- she’s likely just evil. The same way many Fox folks are, it’s a grift and she’s extremely successful at it.

        She’s been pretty consistent since her rise, so I’m not sure. TheBlaze probably was still a collaborative effort, though… not that I’m deranged enough to watch that.

    This argument makes no sense. The money is already spent.

    Is the Right Wing really arguing against military spending now?

    Wow. This Tomi Lahren, whoever she is, is really one of the causes why people consider blondes dumb.
