Jesus. The complete waste of resources is what I think should be unifying people here. These guys are paid by taxpayer money to do what, exactly? 

A little authoritarianism. Just a little.

To satisfy the large number of Americans that dig uniformed men roughing up or intimidating people. See Noem, Patel, Bondi or Hegseth constantly trying to show how big their figurative penises are, it's how this show goes.

Related to that, what lame ass Operation name will they give the Venezuela job.

Carry out Trump's plan of grievance? Stamp out opposition? Own the libs?

I think fiscal conservatism only applies to "things we don't like" for the Republicans at the moment and it probably always was for a lot of them.. and they seem to be fine with the above reasons.

@Hurlshot is looking for rational and reasonable, but what too many people ain't figured out yet is that rational and reasonable is incidental concerns which 90% o' the time may be deflected with whataboutism or bible verse.  the remaining ten percent? the maga faithful, when confronted with clear evidence o' mistake and/or hypocrisy, will final admit, "nothing you say or do will change my mind." 

even before hillary's deplorables remark, libs like hurl made real americans feel shame. all too frequent you (not hurl specific, but libs in general,)  dismissed their beliefs as conspiracy theories and religious zealotry. recognizing that minorities commit more crime and are habitual leeching off o' government welfare programs is facts according to tucker carlson, but libs identify such truth telling as racist. real americans worked harder and got less every year, but libs ignored their problems and instead focused on providing free transition surgery to prisoners. etc.

hurl being annoyed and confused is the point.

immigrant suffering is also the point. precisely because immigrants is part of the them as opposed to the maga us, their suffering is justified and righteous. additional, hurl's impotent displeasure is in part why ice has videographers following around their ice teams. seeing them suffer is swell, but hurl qqing about the unnecessary cruelty is delicious.

children crying as their parents is detained with excessive force is the point... but hurl predictable complaining is also a motivating factor.

vol's transitive property stoopid which resulted in every act o' violence being the fault of blm and antifa has been coopted by the trump administration. 'ccording to 47, antifa is a terrorist organization.  if you suggest that a member o' the trump administration is fascist, authoritarian, or you accuse 'em of using unnecessary violence to achieve illegal government goals, then you are a member of antifa and as such a terrorist and an enemy of the state? hurl being outraged by this kinda stoopid is as much the point as is the genuine authoritarian effort to suppress dissent.

etc.

maga wants trump to lower prices of groceries, housing and healthcare, but they don't need it. what maga needs is for them to suffer and for hurl to complain without being able to do anything about it. 

HA! Good Fun!

pretty sure someone on this forum once quoted this

 

A man catches a magical golden fish, who tells him: "I'm going to grant you a wish, any wish, but your neighbour will receive double what you get."

After thinking for a bit, the man says "I wish I was blind in one eye."
