Biden wouldn't cut spending if the sky was falling. So yes that is the only band aid right now. Sorry we don't live in Utopia bro.So you don't think the government should cut any spending at all to make room for hurricane relief, The only band-aid possible is to spend more money on top of spending more money (it's okay, the taxpayers will pay for that), The national debt will NEVER be fixed, and this mentality isn't dooming. Got it.

I would rather try my luck at US Innawoods Funtime than live in some Euro dystopia.
"What kind of American are you?" The kind that was born here. Bam, I survive. European countries all look pleasant and wholesome, but they're all sad and oppressed people under the surface who have no recourse when they can't heat their homes, but their leaders can eat caviar in Swiss villas drinking Malbec.

Doesn't mean you should support it, be happy about it, or not be worried about it at all.

Given the options is let them die or help, I choose help, because the let them die option is homosexual as fuck and suggests you take it up the ass.

As somebody who has multiple friends and family members in the impact zone, EAT SHIT FAGGOT!
This country throws billions down the shitter to Ukriane, Israel, and niggers, but it can't afford to help the people affected by the hurricane? Get the fuck out of here with that stupid faggotry.

I never said "let them die" What I said was
No need to be an ass mad sperg that makes things up
I'm saying we should cut spending to make room for the hurricane relief at least if the states aren't going to take the cost. If you are so against federal spending to niggers, Ukraine, and Isreal then why are you against cutting federal spending to them?

Melania Trump says she supports abortion rights, putting her at odds with the GOP
CHICAGO (AP) — Melania Trump revealed her support for abortion rights Thursday ahead of the release of her upcoming memoir, exposing a stark contrast with her husband, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, on the crucial election issue.
In a video posted to her X account Thursday morning, the former first lady defended women’s “individual freedoms” to do what they want with their body — a position at odds with much of the Republican Party and her own husband, who has struggled to find a consistent message on abortion while wedged between anti-abortion supporters within his base and the majority of Americans who support abortion rights.
“Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard,” she said in the video. “Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth: individual freedom. What does ‘my body, my choice’ really mean?”
The video appears to confirm excerpts of her self-titled memoir reported by The Guardian on Wednesday.
Melania Trump has rarely publicly expressed her personal political views and has been largely absent from the campaign trail. But in her memoir, set to be released publicly next Tuesday, she argues that the decision to end a pregnancy should be left to a woman and her doctor, “free from any intervention of pressure from the government,” according to the published excerpts.
“Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body?” she wrote, according to The Guardian. “A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.”
Melania Trump writes that she has “carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life.”
These views contrast sharply with the GOP’s anti-abortion platform and with Donald Trump, who has repeatedly taken credit for appointing the three Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v. Wade and boasted about returning the abortion question to the states. Democrats have blamed the former president for the severe deterioration of reproductive rights as abortion bans were implemented in large swaths of the country following the overturning of the landmark case, which had granted a constitutional right to abortion.
The national abortion group SBA Pro-Life America denounced the former first lady’s views on abortion, including her comments on abortion later in pregnancy, but said their “priority is to defeat Kamala Harris.”
“Women with unplanned pregnancies are crying out for more resources, not more abortions,” the organization’s president Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement to the AP. “We must have compassion for them and for babies in the womb who suffer from brutal abortions.”
Vice President Kamala Harris ' campaign noted Trump’s role in ending Roe v. Wade in a statement reacting to Melania Trump’s defense of abortion rights.
“Sadly for the women across America, Mrs. Trump’s husband firmly disagrees with her and is the reason that more than one in three American women live under a Trump Abortion Ban that threatens their health, their freedom, and their lives,” Harris campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said in a statement. “Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear: If he wins in November, he will ban abortion nationwide, punish women, and restrict women’s access to reproductive health care.”
Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would veto a federal abortion ban, the first time he has explicitly said so after previously refusing to answer questions on the subject. Abortion rights advocates are skeptical, however, saying Trump cannot be trusted
not to restrict reproductive rights.
Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said the memoir is another example of “the Trumps playing voters like a fiddle.”
“As president, (Trump) made it his mission to get Roe v. Wade overturned,” she said in a statement. “Melania stood by him, never once publicly disavowing his actions until weeks before an election where our bodies are again on the ballot and they are losing voters to this issue. Read between the lines.”
Democratic strategist Brittany Crampsie called the memoir’s release a “clear attempt to appeal to more moderate voters and to moderate JD Vance’s very clearly extreme views on the issue.” But she is skeptical that the move would work in favor of Trump, saying his shifting views “have already confused voters and sowed distrust.”
Melania Trump also defends abortions later in pregnancy, asserting that “most abortions conducted during the later stages of pregnancy were the result of severe fetal abnormalities that probably would have led to the death or stillbirth of the child. Perhaps even the death of the mother.”
“These cases were extremely rare and typically occurred after several consultations between the woman and her doctor,” she writes.
These views appear diametrically opposed to her husband, who has often parroted misinformation about abortions later in pregnancy, falsely claiming that Democrats support abortion “after birth,” though infanticide is outlawed in every state.
Mary Ruth Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis School of Law who focuses on reproductive rights law and history, said it is unclear if the memoir’s release so close to the election was an attempt to help Donald Trump. But she did note that Melania Trump’s split from Trump on the issue is not uncommon historically.
There is “a pretty deep history of first ladies being more supportive of abortion rights than their husbands,” including Betty Ford, a vocal abortion rights supporter and the wife of former President Gerald Ford, Ziegler said.
Donald Trump promoted his wife’s book at a September rally in New York, calling on supporters to “go out and get her book.” It is unclear if the former president has read the book.
“Go out and buy it,” he told the crowd. “It’s great. And if she says bad things about me, I’ll call you all up, and I’ll say, ‘Don’t buy it.’”
Trump’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment Thursday about Melania Trump’s book or video.

TL;DR: Melania not only supports abortion, but she supports late term abortion and decided that now was a good time to let the world know this. Kamabla has already seized on the opportunity to exploit this information.
Not sure whether this was some bizarre strategic move to appeal to female voters, or just a bad miscalculation on Trump’s part. The last thing the campaign needs to be doing is bringing more attention to abortion.

About as shocking as the news that the sun will rise tomorrow.
"My wife, I have the best wife, the greatest, she and I don't necessarily agree on everything... which is fine." then spins it off into a message about unity or some shit. It's not the own anyone on that side of shit thinks it is as most people aren't going to agree with their spouse - even politically - on %100 of issues. This shit's retarded.

It doesn't really mean anything, it depends on the states themselves. Of course, most people don't or won't understand that.
The only reason why they care about it is because it's an issue that's a guaranteed win for the DNC whenever its brought up. Letting the states and the people dictate what they want in regards to abortion completely takes that card away from the DNC.

Who cares? I'm not voting for Melania Trump to be president. I'm voting for her husband.
There will, eventually, be a female president. When that happens, I do not want to hear her husband blather.

It's not that people don't understand that, it's that people keep fucking arguing for centralizing everything including making federal abortion laws for/against.

Chill out, sperg
We discuss many things in this thread that Biden should do but won't. I'm not saying that he IS going to cut spending I'm saying he SHOULD cut spending.
With that in mind I'm glad we are in agreeance.
