After weeks of the Democratic Party's ostensibly 'humanitarian' posturing . . .
. . . suitably highlighted by its own Quisling oppositionalist, Senator Joe Manchin — whom the Lamestream likes to present as somehow out-of-step with the actual thrust of the Great American Plutocracy — one begins to tire of the United States' constantly pillaging republican-democracy experiment.
Keep in mind that we pay these Government people to loot us
Former Army officer Danny Sjursen made a fact-based observation recently — his paragraphs here resequenced for more quotable clarity:
There is something grotesque about an American political process and culture in which our supposed “representatives” barely flinch at funding a nuclear modernization program . . . yet simultaneously quibble over far cheaper domestic spending items like the paid family leave program.
[T]otal annual nuke-spending for fiscal year 2022 is about 2.5 times higher than the family leave program (that wouldn’t even kick-in until 2024).
What’s more, conservative Democrats such as Sen. Joe Manchin (D‑W.V.) are opposing even this modest family leave program, but have no issue voting for the bloated defense bill.
This dynamic further illustrates that America’s ballooning national security budget hardly secures the citizenry, or truly supports the troops.
Instead, certain corporate war-profiteering companies rake in the cash — risking further unwinnable combat missions for our modestly paid young soldiers, who still don’t benefit from paid leave.
Apparently, the only things many members of Congress want to build back better are distinctly unusable and unnecessary mass murder devices.

The moral? — Grotesque is the right word, of course
It aptly describes the anti-human viciousness that the United States officially embraces at every decision point.
You should wonder what favorable balance of merit lies in a nation governed this way.
