Pwns doesn't seem to have gotten past that initial step

So for starters:
Yes, the Pentagon doesn't have a clue where 20% of the money goes
and that's year over year since we've been bothering to ask them where it went

Now as far as that dumpster over there...
We can begin the conversation

:lol:

Yes, the School lunch program is not efficient and should only cost $4.00 a child instead of $6.25
so it's under serious investigation by the present administration
:lol:

I’ll bet we could find a corporation willing to shave that cost down to $3.75 including lobbying and other write offs and only insist on a small margin of $3.00. That’s less than a Starbucks latte!

Free market efficiency...it’s worked with health insurance. :nod:

I believe I already shot this one down before...

That amount of money is more than the DoD has spent in its entire history. It's a nonsense number. Your 20% accounts for $140 billion of Trump's 2019 budget (which I think is a peace-time record), and at that rate it takes 178 years of that much lost to get to $25T. :lol:

I'm not shilling for our defense budget or wasteful procurement policies. The point is that Ocasio-Cortez is again showing to be a very innumerate econ major and I get a kick out of all the liberal dumb-dumbs on Twitter are talking about how the GOP is afraid of a "bright young woman color" when really she's perfect to keep center stage as a mascot for the liberal wing of the Democrat party.

BTW, even the New York Times has called her out over this.

Triggered..?

Nobody is taking the 25 trillion any more seriously than Climate Change is a Chinese Hoax
or "We've already written up a new healthcare plan it's the best in the world, you're going to love it.."
or "I will get rid of ISIS in six months.."
or "I will reduce the $18 trillion national debt by vigorously eliminating waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, ending redundant government programs and growing the economy to increase tax revenues."
or "I will cut the budget by 20 percent by simply renegotiating..."

I can go on... would you like more "things" to take seriously ?

However as Trump defenders love to do:
"what Ocasio said starts an interesting conversation "

He was a running joke to everybody and you know it...
and he's succeeded where nobody thought he would because Americans are trapped in a two party cesspool

anyway,
I look forward to "The joke" playing itself out... on both sides

You really think there weren't people wearing MAGA hats during the primaries? He was a joke to the entire left and to much of the right. Once he got elected more on the right were thankful that Hillary didn't win. He IS the POTUS, so of course he gets to have people suck up to him that hated him before. That's how it works when you win.

AOC is him on the left. The entire right things she is a joke. Some on the left actually think she is the new wave of liberal, or is intelligent. If it's a choice between her and a Republican, the left will fall in line and kiss her ass.

Prepare yourself for the game upcoming
Because really stupid people seem to be great at motivating the American masses

She won't be able to out do Trump in the lying and making sh!t up on the spot
and completely fabricating information out of thin air

But she seems prepared to give it a go...

From such a dishonest president, such candor.

His statements about Saudi Arabia and the debt are what any US president thinks, but isn't willing to say.

More likely Lena Dunham is colonized by yeast

But I do really love this chick - she's like a walking billboard for everything that is bullsh!t about this "movement"... whatever it is. The article is correct on the last line though - even when it's her fault, it's actually men's fault.
