Again, where are your posts bitching about the 2 billion tax breaks for the wealthy? Where are your posts bitching about the deficit and spending when Rs are President? That's necessary spending, right?

Try answering the question Tom.
What makes you think the George Floyd death was racially motivated? During the Chauvin trial, can you point out any instances where race was brought up?
I don’t really give a shit. Hardly pearl clutching but I have to laugh how we don’t even blink at lighting money on fire over dumb shit like this these days.

Guy that won’t answer any questions is demanding you answer his RIGHT NOW!
When I don’t give a sh*t about something I ignore it instead of crying on a random message board. Give it a try sometime.
Confederate traitors being honored by an institution that employs many black Americans.
The funds being used are almost nothing when it comes to annual spending, and the changes will last a very long time.

Apparently Biden didn't think $500 billion for student loans was a big enough waste of taxpayer money to buy votes for his leftist base so he thought another $62.5 million might help buy more votes.According to the commission’s report, Fort Benning will be named Fort Moore; Fort Polk will be renamed Fort Johnson; Fort Bragg will become Fort Liberty; Fort Gordon will become Fort Eisenhower; Fort Hood will become Fort Cavazos; Fort Lee will become Fort Gregg-Adams; Fort Pickett will become Fort Barfoot; Fort Rucker will be renamed to Fort Novosel.
...
The federally mandated Naming Committee estimated the undertaking to cost as much as $62.5 million, according to Stars and Stripes.

Defense Secretary Austin orders renaming of military bases with Confederate ties

How many votes do you think your take on interracial marriage would buy?
Where did you stand on Trump diverting military funds allocated for other projects to pay for his idiotic wall? That's solidly on point.
I personally think this is a good move and the dollar amount is a drop in the bucket compared to what this government wastes, but you know dang well if Trump did this you would bemoan the price tag.
Oh there's a decent sized chunk of the base that had considered him a hero for awhile now
People have wanted this done for a long time so I doubt it but your point is moot as everyone knows Trump would never ever do this. It's his base who are pissed about it
Trump had the chance to do this, but instead he helped fuel the anger.
That's actually pretty impressive considering the source. Roosevelt Jr was no slouch when it came to the courage under fire department. He was later awarded a Medal of Honor after going in with the first wave on D-day on Utah beach at the age of 56 while not being able to walk without the assistance of a cane. . . after specifically requesting to go in with first wave.
This guy stormed the beaches at Normandy. WITH HIS SON
Quite the interesting read.
Why George Washington's Statue in London Doesn't Touch British Soil
The statue of George Washington outside the National Gallery in London may seem out of place, but it's really not.
62 million to change names, wow, Change them if you want, but it shouldn't cost 62 million dollars to do so.
@BlackNGoldBleeder still feeling good about this admin not blowing every spending/debt number out of the water?

Yawn. If you want to get upset about foolish spending take a look at political ads, PACS and other campaign finance. Ridiculous amounts that Mitch McConnell refuses to address now but opposed before he became the beneficiary.
These days, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell regularly scoffs at Democrats’ sweeping anti-corruption bill to set up more transparency around money in politics, and promote expanded voting rights.
But 46 years ago, he praised many of the ideas that the bill, known as HR 1, contains. He called money in politics a “cancer” in a 1973 Courier-Journal op-ed about a local campaign finance ordinance that he complained didn’t go far enough to address the issue (Fred Wertheimer at Democracy 21 first published the McConnell op-ed).

Changing the names won't erase the history. Most of the Confederate Generals had distinguished service in the US Army.
It's easy to jump to the conclusion they were all racists. They weren't. Here's a link to a discussion on the subject. It probably won't change any minds, but maybe it will give a few people a different perspective.

That's not tax money, so you are trying to compare apples and oranges.
They are both fruit - and one is a LOT of apples vs. a few oranges. The point is there are many more wasteful and harmful funding efforts than the one being complained about in this thread.
No one is erasing history, we're just deciding to stop honoring people who fought for a evil cause.
And while they may have had US army careers before the war of southern treason, they are not known for that historically. Without the war of southern treason no one would even know who they were. They wouldn't have even been a footnote in history.
Some fought for slavery, and some fought for states rights, and some fought for both. Lee had already freed slaves. It was a different time, and had different views on slavery.
And they were traitors. End of story.
It's amazing to watch people bend over backwards to defend treason.
Yeah, that’s a good story about TR Jr.That's actually pretty impressive considering the source. Roosevelt Jr was no slouch when it came to the courage under fire department. He was later awarded a Medal of Honor after going in with the first wave on D-day on Utah beach at the age of 56 while not being able to walk without the assistance of a cane. . . after specifically requesting to go in with first wave.

Stumbled upon his tombstone one time in the American Cemetery in Normandy.
It shouldn’t cost that much, but no government building or institution in the United States of America should ever bear the name of anyone who was part of the Confederacy.
F#ck all those desecrations.
Again, irrelevant. Regardless of their reasons for committing treason, they are still traitors and enemies to the United States of America. They deserve the same adulation as Benedict Arnold.
They only fought for states rights to have slaves. Outside of that issue they didn't care about states rights. The confederate constitution required all slaves be slave states. Furthermore they where mad that other states having rights and deciding not to spend time and resources capturing and returning fugitive slaves.
No one there fought for states rights as an ideology. It was only a code for "slaves"
