1 Alabama Senator can hold up unlimited number of promotions in the military because - abortion. But no amount of "legislators" can stop out of control military spending for any reason. We are screwed.

Perfectly said. What a lobbying effort these contractors have achieved.

IтАЩd also like to see how many of these congress memebers are invested AND how much theyтАЩve personally gained, since these profits have hit gross levelsЁЯдмЁЯШдЁЯШб

Almost all of them, and enough to ignore the needs of the working and middle classes for decades.

Right- my comment may not have been clear... theyтАЩre all filthy dirty money laundering crooks who work for lobbyists NOT US- and instead choose to worry about тАШusтАЩ sending minuscule amounts of money on Venmo/Cashapp- so itтАЩd be cool to see the amounts each owns in stock and how much theyтАЩve gained from Ratheyon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, etc to make clear their big WHY on the reason theyтАЩre so willing to keep signing off on bigger and bigger budgets.

Word.

Biden is going to lose to Trump in 2024 because Democrats refuse to hold their own candidates responsible for their actions.

If there was a robust primary, we would be able to field someone who would be Trump easily, but that might risk someone not slavishly devoted to the donor class.

I have said this a thousand times: the Democrats don't exist to govern. They exist to make sure that actual progressives who might actually do something about income inequality don't get elected, no matter what the cost.

As long as they hold the line against progress and justice, the establishment Democrats will continue to be awash with donor money.

You make it sound like there are senators that oppose throwing money into the maw of the military industrial complex.

Name them.
