It is histerical that a guy who flat out lied about military service in Vietnam, flat out lied with no debate has the ability to do this. Can you imagine a more screwed up state than Connecticut. This military liar and CNN full fine employee Chris Murphy. Wow that is scary

The USA is on its way to losing its primacy in the world. The deficit is getting way out of hand at already 39 trillion, and China is sitting back watching Trump digging the hole even deeper, and loving every minute of it.

@kaitlancollins likes Dick. She talks to him a lot. She loves his lies, corruption and treasonous support and funding for the Iranians. Dick paid Iran $200-billion to build nukes, murder Americans, rape women, slaughter Jews and burn babies alive in ovens. Kaitlan loves Dick.

It would be ridiculous to fund this illegal war for Israel. Iran was not a threat at all. Trump's own Depts of Defense and Intelligence says Iran have not rebuilt anything or tried to. Let Israel pay for the American costs, after all Trump is only doing this to please Israel.

❗️❗️🇺🇸🇮🇷 BIG | According to The Washington Post, the Pentagon has asked the White House to approve a funding request exceeding $200 billion for the war with Iran. ➡️ The proposal aims to replenish and expand critical weapons stockpiles following three weeks of intense U.S. and Israeli strikes, and would significantly exceed spending so far. ➡️ The Defense Department has considered several funding options in recent weeks, but some White House officials doubt that Congress will approve a request of this scale.

Pentagon requests $200 billion for war with Iran The U.S. Department of Defense has asked Congress to allocate more than $200 billion to fund the war with Iran and urgently increase ammunition production. This is according to reports from The Washington Post, citing high-ranking officials. The requested amount will go towards continuing airstrikes and increasing the production of "precision-guided munitions," such as Tomahawk missiles. By the first week of the war, the Pentagon had already spent more than $11 billion. However, political battles in Congress are expected, as lawmakers, especially Democrats, criticize this request, and public support for the war remains weak. If the war drags on, costs could exceed a trillion dollars, Intercept reports. This sum would be required if the operation transitions into a protracted phase, involving not only missile strikes but also ground intervention and subsequent regional stabilization.
