It takes a while to unravel all of YOUR parties' fuck ups, along with their NeoCon cohorts.
We'll get there.
You just keep cheerleading for the downfall of America in the meantime and making Americans hate you and your party even more though.

Of course it does, to brainless, dopamine addicted drones lacking any semblance of patience or foresight.
SOTU was only 10 days ago, stupid. You're already 200 TDS articles past that now, and more than half of them have already been proven to be nothing but whining, Anti-American fake bullshit from your Leftist Elites that hate America and Americans.

Quote:Trump’s first year back in the White House closed with the U.S. national debt roughly $2.25 trillion higher than when he retook the oath of office, showing how fast Washington’s red ink is piling up even amid DOGE hype and promises to pay it down. Over the calendar year 2025, the growth in the national debt was even higher, some $2.29 trillion.

Why would the national debt increase?
1. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act will cost $3.4 trillion over the next 10 years, and more than $4 trillion when accounting for additional interest owed on the national debt.

3. Jan. 7, 2026, President Donald Trump announced: I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion Dollars

4. Recent reductions in IRS staff, particularly the loss of over 30% of auditors in early 2025, are projected to decrease federal revenue by hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade. These cuts specifically impact the enforcement, auditing, and collection of unpaid taxes from high-earners and corporations, widening the tax gap.

We can already see some early signs of rot in US military and diplomatic capabilities, which have been highlighted by the decision to bomb Iran.
Here is a gift link to the piece. https://tinyurl.com/3js3eh7w
The standard push back was that mistakes are normal in war and that the US committing some of them at the start of the bombing means little. It is, of course, a point worth engaging with, though it completely avoids half the article, which is about the diplomatic rot that the US has brought upon itself.
That being said, what we are seeing in just the first few days of the US bombing of Iran is no normal fog of war. It is unprecedented, I would argue. We have seen arguably the worst friendly fire incident in modern US history, the worst articulations of war aims, the worst economic/industrial preparations for a war, and, tragically, what might very well be among the worst war crimes in US history. To have just one of these things at the start of the war would be a failure, but to have all of them…

There are many other signs of rot and reasons for the rot, and I thought they should be outlined here.
https://phillipspobrien.substack.com/i/190083873/reasons-for-the-rot
These are primarily two-fold: corruption and the replacement/loss of competent people for incompetent loyalists and fanatics. Corruption is now endemic at the top of US government, to the point that even Trump-backing publications are becoming nervous about it. Corruption at the top always rolls downhill. Once it becomes open and acknowledged, it leads to corrupt and slovenly acts throughout a system. Kristi Noem’s admission that she gave a massive, no-bid contract worth hundreds of millions to an associate is just one example from the last few days.
You want an example of what happens over time with corruption and a military? Take a look at Vladimir Putin’s armed forces when he launched them at Ukraine in the 2022 full-scale invasion. Though the analytical community has laughably been telling us that corruption in the Russian armed forces had been eradicated, this was nonsense. Corruption was everywhere, from rotting food to logistics to explosive armor protection that lacked explosives.
The second point is even more immediate. What the Trump administration did as soon as it took office was put an incompetent Secretary of Defense in charge and the fired senior officers who were excellent, such as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs CQ Brown. This started what might be called a mixed voluntary/involuntary purge of independent thinkers. Some people were fired, like Brown, others could read the writing on the wall and left of their own accord. Even more just stayed but refused to take initiative because of fears of reprisals.
Btw, I have seen this intellectual death close at hand. I had invitations to give a number of talks or take part in Pentagon-sponsored conferences pulled back in the last year. People are scared.
And then, when you add the firing, loss or silencing of excellent people in favor of loyal incompetents (or religious fanatics in some cases) to an openly anti-intellectual campaign by the US Secretary of Defense, you create a culture where people fail. It is as simple as that.
So the reasons for the rot are clear.

Quote:6ix, you are literally, not figuratively, rotting. Last week, you had an MRI because you were spitting out pieces of lung. An insulin pump keeps you alive. You had your teeth pulled out. You spend your days smoking cigarettes and watching porn. YOU are the rot. Not unexpected, Trump is rotten to his core, too. He is threatening to murder Iran:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, “Thank you President Trump.” I have said, “You’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, “THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
