"Trump continues to remove decades of fraud and waste from the US government."

If this were actually happening, there would be examples from the White House of the fraud and waste that's been uncovered.

"the world is going to end if Trump continues to remove decades of fraud and waste from the US government."

Defund The Police?
Defund the United States!

How do you understand what Defund the Police does to the police, but you don't understand what Defund the United States does?
Of course, if you have the United States and want it to stop existing, that would explain why you want to Defund the United States.

"because it exposes their fleecing of the American taxpayer."

Still waiting for any of this to be exposed...

"The US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history."

Republicans, why do you hate this?
I really don't get why.
I get why Russia hates it.

I don't think Trump outright says he's destroying the Pax Americana, though.

I'm not sure they have connected the dots.

So I'm trying to get them to explain why they want Pax Americana to come crashing down.

"They'd rather burn the nation to the ground than ever see another Black president in the Oval Office."

I'm looking for confirmation that they understand Trump is unilaterally surrendering American leadership on the global stage.

I want them to explain to me why they don't want Jack Nicholson's character Colonel Jessep from A Few Good Men standing on that wall any more.

Especially as they tend to think Trump ought to take a Colonel Jessep approach to addressing life's challenges, like annexing Greenland and the Panama Canal.

"The longest period of peace? Seriously?"

So you don't actually know what the post-war hegemony was.
I guess that explains why you don't think you'll miss it!

You said there was evidence of fraud.
miller.house.gov is asking for an investigation into an allegation of fraud.

Do you have any actual evidence, or mere allegations?
You don't have any evidence, but you aren't man enough to admit it.

Look it up yourself, there are plenty of allegations that will produce evidence that there was fraud.

You look it up.
You show us the evidence.

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Help me out here. I can't figure out if you are being your usual lying sack of ----, or if you genuinely believe Trump's lies.

"Ok, I see, you specified that it had to be a world war now. Why didn't you say so, the author of the quote you used didn't."
Wow.

This is really the first time Fishpaw has come face to face with the concept of the postwar hegemony. The reason that NATO and the EU exists. The reason for the Petrodollar. The reason for ASEAN and Five Eyes. The reason United States Treasury Bonds are considered a stable investment. The underpinnings of Western financial power.

Well let me bring you up to speed:
At the end of WWII, the conquerors FDR, Churchill, and Stalin got together and divided up the spoils. That system stood for nearly a century, and the West was generally winning.

Trump is waking away from eighty years of progress and creating a power vacuum where the US once maintained a stabilizing influence.

Your job, Fishpaw, is to explain why you want the US to abandon our leadership role in the world.

"How much would it cost to stop paying countries to be our friend?"

^
How much will other countries pay in Trump Tariffs to be our friend?

"Foreign aid was one of the key factors in trade negotiation"

Republicans used to think that way.

Now, foreign tariffs is one of the key factors in Republican trade negotiations.

I wonder which catches more flies:
Aid (honey) or Tariffs (vinegar).
Any Republicans care to answer?
