Mulvaney: one of the most compassionate things we can do.

[sheshe2]

‘Look, we're not going to ask you for your hard-earned money anymore … unless we can guarantee to you that that money is actually going to be used in a proper function. And I think that is about as compassionate as you can get.”

Mulvaney described the budget blueprint, which calls for dramatic cuts to domestic spending programs in favor of increased funding for the military

So increase the military funding because "we can guarantee to you that that money is actually going to be used in a proper function"

Proper function.

They love war because they profit from it, bigly. They love the war and hate the veteran. They lose their compassionate souls for the vets when they are no longer useful and can no longer benefit from their profit margins. That is when their healthcare is taken away ban their pensions slashed. Amurica!

To our Compassionate Conservatives

1. They love a bloated military because it helps them feel safe

They don't mind starving the population because they figure hungry people will be obedient people who will do what they're told for crumbs.

They're completely wrong about both these things. However, rich men generally don't know history.

2. what bullshit

the vast majority of defense budget lines the pockets of private contractors/wealthy fuckers anyway. Yet, you would think that it goes to enlisted folks, vets, families, right?... NOPE. If it did, why would there need to be private charities to help Vets!? All those groups that have to try and gather up help/support for military families and vets causes? Wait, I thought there were billions and billions of $$$ for the military. Huh?! Yeah, that's what I thought.

Fuck them. sorry, I'll be quiet now.

5. But we'll get to see many parades ala USSR

with lots of new military hardware on display.

And Trump might even start wearing full military garb!

6. "proper function": WAR. Improper function: SAVING HUMANITY.

Got it.

[sheshe2]

8. Got it!

7. Do t forget his tax cuts for himself

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Then I demand every single penny of my money that goes for the military.
