What a trio! Thoroughly enjoyed this and glad I stayed till the end. Tim’s comment about Gerald Ford and people hearing him and thinking Epictetus had me doubled over. I had no intention of listening to that speech and did not but your takedown was terrific,guys.
The money for the troops IS coming from Congress. It was approved in the summer. This so called announcement of a “bonus” is NOT NEW AT ALL!
Once again, Trump claims credit for something he did not do.
From Politico:
The $1,776 per person bonuses, unveiled by Trump in his nationwide address Wednesday night, will be covered with funding approved in the Big Beautiful Bill that passed in July, according to the congressional officials and later confirmed by the Pentagon.
The payouts — which will cost roughly $2.6 billion — will be a “one-time basic allowance for housing supplement to all eligible service members,” said the official, who like others, was granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.
Trump, in his address, touted the money as a reward for troops’ service and sacrifice. “Nobody deserves it more than our military,” he said.
But the money will tap into the $2.9 billion approved for military housing supplements as part of the congressional budget reconciliation package, according to the Hill officials.
Lawmakers included the money amid concerns that housing stipends have not fully covered military families’ cost-of-living in recent years.
the speech was Trump's version of American history climaxing in his election: 250 years has been a waste of time until I arrived. The place was filled with millions of undocumented immigrants and slaves from s--hole countries who made everything horrible, the worst you've ever seen, and now I'm making it great like you've never seen and doing a job like no one has ever done.
I'm surprised that Trump did not chastise the American people for not being grateful enough for his efforts and not saying "thank you;" as when he admonished Zelensky in that memorable meeting at the White House.
Some news articles say Susie Wiles told the president to keep his speech down to 20 minute. If true it explains why the delivery was so rushed, he hardly took a breath during it, and there were no digressions from the teleprompter words like he did in Pennsylvania last week.
I'm sooooo effen tired of this TDS shit over the years. Who created it? I suspect President Clementine and if so, he can just save his $$$ on ad time for a cure and just say in 2.5 time, "ANY SIDE EFFECTS ARE ON THE TABLE"
Just read that the 1700+ paycheck to the millions of troops is coming from the housing budget allocated by congress for veterans. So 1700+ doesn’t even pay a month’s rent. And more veterans will be homeless. Sick.

Andrew: FDR and/or JFK.
Damn right, now they were Presidents. Not this disgusting poser.
Guys,

Two phrases that should be retired.
1. It was a nothing burger
2. A grand jury would indict a ham sandwich
Suggested replacements.
1. There's no matza in the soup.
2. Grand juries no longer indict ham sandwiches.
I think most people live somewhere on the TDS spectrum at this point. Ten years of constant political noise has warped everyone’s thinking a little.
It’s less about whether you’ve been affected and more about how far it’s gone.
It’s like an RFK brainworm trying to crawl into your head and take over. Some people notice it and push back. Others open the door and let it move in.
What’s funny is that the people most eager to accuse others of TDS often seem to be dealing with the worst case themselves.
I didn’t even watch it, but Tim, you are hilarious! Laughed out loud at Epictetus!

Will's reference to Garrett Morris -- hilarious!
I think that speech was a preview of the Trump family Christmas dinner.
