11. Decades, not weeks, you ignorant fool!
Sun Mar 1, 2026, 08:55 AM
Sunday

We’ve been here before, at great expense to common citizens - from those in the foreign countries being attacked by our government who pay with their physical lives to our own citizens who fund these excursions and who provide the cannon fodder to “fight for liberty”. In fact, the only people who benefit from war are the wealthy majority stock holders in the military industrial complex, a real thing that we have been warned about repeatedly.
