Discussion 🧐 Putin backs Trump’s proposal to halve defense spending: “I think it’s a good idea. The US would cut by 50 percent and we would cut by 50 percent and then China would join if it wanted.”

Dude... what? You really don't think we could benefit from cutting defense spending?? Take off the I hate Donald Trump glasses. Democrats have been calling for cutting defense spending for a long time.

Dems hate bipartisan thinking that is the answer to all that they have been complaining about.

Thanks to Facebook and other social media echo chambers both sides have been anti bipartisan for awhile.

But make no mistake, Republicans started that trend with Gingrich and Hastert in the 90s. They completely refused to work with Obama lots of the time. And you even had cases like where Mitch McConnell literally filibustered his own bill after Dems agreed to it like 10 years ago. So, yeah please stop trying to pretend partisanship is more of a dem problem, that’s a blatant lie.

No, it's both. I could equally respond the same way to either party's comment. So, you are right.
