Wasted money anyway.

5) the disgustingly bad quality Japanese restaurants abroad ( 95% of them) are run mostly by Chinese and serve overpriced bad sake , often cooking sake. For those drinking sake the first time it’s enough to never drink it again. Same for the “ sushi “ these establishments serve. Rice with fish, is not sushi. 

I agree with you except on the last part, in Southern California most of the so-called Japanese restaurants are often run by Koreans, I know some Chinese ran a few questionable ones, but the more decent ones were often Korean-owned, they definitely know how to present the sushi better, but the Japanese still run the top-notch ones, and they cost an enormous amount of money. I love Sake, but you made some very important and valid points. I should add to that, the Japanese also are extremely resistant to change and that is another stumbling block for them as to why in many areas they cannot move forward or adapt.

Whatever money flows to anti vaccine charities is peanuts compared to the money big pharma and its lobby has flowing to push their narrative.

Pretty much.

The presence of US military is holding down the economy.

No, it is an island nation, US or not, jobs and tourism make up $10 million of tourism alone

If any aggressor wished to attack Japan, they would attack Okinawa first.

Or Tokyo

So investors are unwilling to spend money here.

Yes, so if the US were to leave China would come in and set its own style of work and ethics, infrastructure you really think Japan would be better off?

Also, US forces occupy prime land that is perfect for development.

Perfect for the US to strategically build a base and to keep China at bay.

With its (mostly) mild climate, beautiful beaches, scenery, and unique culture, Okinawa could be the biggest money spinner in Japan.

We thought that about Hawaii

There would be an economic boom.

Because of the high taxes and seasonal jobs, I would say, fantasy at best.

Its ok for meta and X and instagram...etc...to pass on their user data to the USA government,

It absolutely is not.

but woe betide any non-USA company working there.

Yes, as you said, a NON-US company, which makes it worse.

Yes. You claimed Biden added $34 trillion

True.

Don’t remember?

Yes

Grab your popcorn for the Republican Civil War. They are not serious people and they are not fit to govern anything.

Come again?

So do you believe the debt is now $64 trillion or are you finally going to admit you were wrong?

Wrong?

$34,583,094,965,544.54 Tick, tick, tick…

Correction: Most MAGA don't want it passed.

Correction: most Americans don’t want it passed.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/14/briefing/ukraine-us-aid.html

Remember, most of America didn't want MAGA.

Half

And they do want to support Ukraine.

Then there wouldn’t be any opposition.

lol last year you claimed Biden increased the debt BY $34 trillion. Remember that little gem? 

Yup.

I’d hold off on the predictions for a while.

$34,583,094,965,544.54 

As of now nothing to predict. Tick, tick…

Remember when you claimed that getting the House would end aid to Ukraine?

Yup, and Russia is still there

How’d that pan out? 

For me or the Ukrainians?

It’s just not going your way is it?

Neither for Zelenskyy.

The only thing she's "good" for is trying to sink anything the Democrats and most of America want passed.

No, most Americans didn’t want it passed, and good on her for trying, America and Americans should come first and foremost, most of the Democrats and this administration wanted it passed.

Utterly useless.

Never liked Biden.

The national debt — which measures what the U.S. owes its creditors — increased to $34,583,094,965,544.54 as of Wednesday afternoon, according to the latest numbers published by the Treasury Department. That is down about $6.6 billion from the $34,576,488,508,928.92 figure reported the previous day.

Well, Joe definitely surpassed Trump, now it’s more than official.

You don’t know that. 

Yes, I do know that.

It sure won’t help the Russians you not so secretly favor.

Sticks and stones? It doesn’t have to help Russia, it has what it needs, raw manpower.

How many Republicans voted for this bill Bass? Which party does speaker Johnson belong to Bass?

Ear wax? Again, it doesn’t matter at this point, that money will not save the inevitable. Ukraine will fall. Just a matter of time

I was replying to a completely different idiot

Liberal? Not me

Enough libs here though.

Oh well, maybe mtg will do something about it. Probably some kind of tweet I’d imagine.

As an American Nationalist probably nothing.

I heard a rumour that if MTG calls for a motion to vacate, more Republicans will resign. Which will give the majority to the Democrats.

As you said, for once you got it right, it’s a rumor, nothing more

That's how frustrated normal Republicans are with the RINO Twitter faction, lead by MTG.

Depends on who you’re asking.

If she continues this disfunction, they will press the detonate button.

Hardly

Chinese province of Taiwan..

Independent

The correct answer would have been “yes the bill passed, no mtg didn’t do anything.”

And Ukraine won’t win this.

Hope and money won’t save that country.

Supporting Putins invasion is an odd way of caring about casualties. 

Not support, just don’t care, I’m an American Nationalist.

Did Putin tell you that it’s all their own fault?

Putin will do what he wants and we are not going to stop him. Ukraine is toast basically.

I just love how he keeps digging...

No digging, the Dems made it clear, foreign countries over Americans, that’s your treason right there..

Marjorie doesn't "think" he's disloyal

She can think and say publicly what she wants, they’re both on the same page, but she’s not House Speaker he is.

So, is she correct or is she lying?

Not lying, but she’s correct and a bit misguided of some of the facts.

lol did the bill pass or not? Did mtg oust him or not? 

Like I said, he had a gun to his head.

Who has the numbers?

Mike doesn’t.

The good guys.

The ones that rather spend more of our money overseas over our people in the U.S.?

Dumb as usual typical of the left

There is one thing Russia can do to immediately end it. Ukraine will not be conquered.

If that is true then they don’t need our money.

Each day that goes by without Ukraine coming to the negotiation table, more women and children die.

Yes, and that’s not going to change unless someone gets rid of Putin.

Every day that goes by without the Hamas terrorists releasing the hostages, more terrorists die.

Martyrdom is not always a smartest thing, it hasn’t saved their top leadership.

For a man who hates party line-towing Washington establishment swamp career politicians you sure do love a lot of party line-towing Washington establishment swamp career politicians.

No, not at all.

So explain to us again how they are on the "same page" when one accuses the other of "disloyalty" and "betrayal"...

They absolutely are on the same page, the difference is she is not how speaker, Johnson is with the hand that he dealt with, he pretty much has no choice, now if Marjorie thinks he’s disloyal, on paper it would seem so in spirit he’s actually 100% not, so I did both sides. Not blaming either of them, it is what it is for now.

For a man who hates politicians

Yes, I hate party line-towing Washington establishment swamp career politicians.

you sure do love a lot of politicians.

No, not really. Been very clear on that one for years.

ROFL - I guess you missed MTG latest post;

No, l didn’t miss, like I said, love MTG, but Johnson just doesn’t have the numbers, lose the fight, not the war, there will be other battles prepare, that’s about it.

Care to place a little wager on this impending doom, Bass?

Absolutely.

How are the Democrats putting a gun to his head. Please be specific.

They are the ones that want, push and demand that this aid go through, do they not?

Does that mean the McCarthy and Pelosi also had guns to their heads?

McCarthy was in the same position, and I don’t care about Pelosi because the Dems will never say NO to any spending especially overseas or whatever toxic polices they want to spend money on.

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is a gutter politician and will try to drag others into it.

Politics like law is a gutter business

Over half of Republicans voted against it. Puts Trump in a tough position after backing Johnson.

Not really actually, more like the other way around.

Huge divide between Moscow-Marjorie and MAGA-Mike.

Not really, they’re on the same page, it just comes down in the end to math, do they have the numbers and they don’t. So the Dems care more about Ukraine, the globalist party that they are over US so that takes up priority for them. America, blue states and their exploding homeless crisis is over little concern to them.

Who is putting the gun to his head?

Democrats

He is smart enough to keep track of all of his useful idiots.

Has nothing to do with being smart that’s already a given, but unlike Dems he’s not going to threaten his caucus if they don’t tow the line, he’s not taking the Pelosi route.

Could have fooled me when you come here to tell us that our treaty allies deserve to be more vulnerable.

Allies? Utter BS! What I said was, I care more about our nation, but like I said, this money won’t change the outcome of Ukraine’s ticking and impending doom.

War is terrible, no way to put it, but giving in is just not an option.

If Russia were to withdraw from Ukraine, it would prevent any further loss of life among Ukrainians and Russians.

That is just not going to happen. That’s like praying and wishing for a cool breezy Japanese summer.

Russian constitution requires it to protect any Russian. They occupy parts of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova already and there are ethnic Russians in all the Baltics (NATO), Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Uzbekistan…. You are naive if you think Ukraine is going to win this conflict.

MAGA folks, your master has spoken.

Master? Wrong party

Time to jump on the bandwagon. 

No, but this goes through ok and it still won’t help in the end, but yeah, let’s waste more taxpayer money just $95 billion.

Welp, Bobby, they obviously do because they passed overwhelmingly.

No, they don’t. Just because Washington wants it, the majority of people don’t.

Not sure why she always seems so angry at men.
