Total outrage!!

March 12, 2026 09:24PM
The government spent Billions,with a capital B, just in SEPTEMBER on stuff for them like steak, lobster, etc. We have seniors, families with kids, and every working citizen; they are taking the money out of their pockets to spend lavishly on themselves! This really upsets me!

Edited because putting a B in brackets must make a smiley.

You have to remember that TMZ sensationalizes every news story and they themselves have been on the offensive in recent weeks for various reasons. The Steak and Lobster for deployed soldiers has a long history. If you Google it, you will even see Michele Obama serving steak and lobster to troops.

It is used as a morale booster and I for one support it.

I don't know what happened in September.. I mostly can't remember what happens from day to day. I'm not senile nor do I have dementia, I have ADHD and I may or may not be autistic too. No one will ever know for sure.

But the Orange Menace doesn't feed folks that he invites to the White House steak and lobster. He feeds them fast food, burgers, fries, crap, and soda. It would be a safe assumption that if he invited military service members to a meal he wouldn't treat them any better than he does sports teams and other guests. If they are buying this kind of stuff, they are buying it for themselves. That does NOT boost anyone's morale.

For the record, I have NEVER watched TMZ, I don't care for tabloid "news" tv, so I really have no idea what any of that is about.

And how about the billions being spent on the illegal attack on Iran while supposedly we don't have the funds to address domestic issues?

It's almost as if the Yuge Orange Sh*tstain doesn't have a plan.

This country is nothing more than a huge, steaming vat of diarrhea with the occasional whole corn kernel peeking through here and there.

You are welcome for the visual.

We attacked Iraq? Last I heard the Iraqi Kurds are supporting us in Iran.

I think the Kurds thought about it and declined. But this does feel like Iraq 2.0. They said back then the people would welcome us as liberators and it would be over in weeks. We still have troops there.

Mystery-I agree, the Iraqi war was a disaster on many fronts. But I believe the smallish military presence we have there now was done at their request.


If anyone is seriously interested in what is happening in Iran, Pete Hegseth and General Cane had a Q&A with reporters early this morning. I happened to catch it and found it very informative.

Background: I was a young working professional in 1979 and watched the newly-created "Nightline" every night and so I understand the historical significance more than many people today.

I will never forget watching a split screen TV ( rather impressive back then ) showing Reagan taking the oath of office the same time as Jimmy Carter greeted the hostages in Germany.

There are a lot of things happening now that produce total outrage.

Hard to keep up with them all.

Life was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on

From Robert Reich:

"The cost of Trump's Iran War could more than cover:

-The daily cost of Medicaid for all 16M people expected to lose it under the Big Ugly Bill.
-Daily food stamps for all 41M people who rely on them.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities."
