   Democrats hate the military.   
   Sure there are budget items that are a waste and need to be cut but basic   
   military funding,   
   especially in these times, should be a priority.   
   Instead the democrats are paying trillions to take care of illegal migrants.   
   China focuses on building a strong, intelligent nation while the USA can't   
   seem to figure out how   
   many sexes there are.   
   Xi has to be laughing his ass off.   
   And why not, everyone else who is an adversary of the USA is.
