Virtually they're asking for that money back

They earn the federal government something like 90B more than they get back.

Wow, we're losing allies left and right... Ok predominantly Left, but I can't really blame them.

Removing authority complicates trust. I can definitely imagine a group in West Virginia or wherever giving themselves an overly patriotic name and claiming there have been next to no instances of police violence because they nitpick what should be counted. They already started doing this with school shootings.

It ends immediately after Hannity stops Trump so there's no reaction. But it happened.

It's in the article too in case you don't want to give them traffic.

When Trump attempted to join in on the answer, Hannity seemed more eager to follow up on Musk’s response, explicitly cutting the president off.

“Sean, you’re a—” Trump started, pointing at the Fox News host.

“This is important,” Hannity responded to Trump, raising his hand to stop him.

Yeah, the goal was to remind him that we know a past he wants to deny, but it came off as insulting him for who he is and where he's from. It gave us the outcome we wanted (a pissed off Trump, and it's arguable that he never cared about it) at the expense of using their own tactics against them (othering people because of factors they can't control) and honestly it didn't feel right.

You should check out the military. It's downright communism with a thick coat of red/white/blue paint.

I always get a kick out of evil companies spend money to say how not evil they are.

None of the rest of the terms matter a lick if Ukraine is barred from joining NATO. That'd be gift wrapping Ukraine for Russia.

I can already tell by the headline that my desired outcome did not happen.
