How, exactly?
Isn't that more than the entire non-military discretionary budget annually?
What is the breakdown?

You're pivoting
We're talking about criminal prosecution, not the supposed need to make the video
And the video is clearly making a political point and the military aspect was tangential at best to that political point. This isn't a discussion about need.

One that violates the law

It's pretty clear. You don't understand that they shouldn't follow illegal orders?
I don't know how to make it more simple.

When in reality it was probably a mix of 18-25 year old Russian girls and 16 year of Giuffre types which is how Trump (and many, others, and mostly others, mind you) were able to reconcile continuing the relationship with Epstein for so long.
Truth is that I remain fully open to the idea that Epstein and others in his orbit are much worse than "just" grooming HS aged girls to exploit, but I haven't seen anything to indicate that's a reality.
Yup
It just so happens that a lot of the, as you put it spirit cooking type, people are just rehashing old satanic Panic stuff that I've been debunking on here for 20 years or so. They just don't comprehend that because their frame of reference of this probably starts in 2019 at the earliest, and I don't think that they can even conceptualize what they're a part of and they clearly have no concept of history about this stuff
*ETA: and this is a crowd who probably doesn't even recognize the term Hermetic and, if they do, probably associates it with Crowley as the originator

The absolute weirdest part about this is that I have noticed that there is one Yuge exception to the interpretation stuff, and that's Trump.
Now I don't think Trump did anything illegal. He may, AT WORST, have banged some legal girls around JE and that would be on brand and fully legal. Full disclaimer so that people don't misinterpret what I'm saying. I'm 100% NOT implicating Trump in any illegality.
But we are 100% not allowed to do the interpretation stuff with anything that could be interpreted to apply to Trump. With Trump we have to have 100% rock solid, clear, direct, and credible evidence to implicate him. Anyone else? Jews making fun of Christians is a sign of murdering children, clearly.

There's obviously a huge difference. And it's not a difference that is pleasant to "ACKSHULLY" about. I'm not convinced Epstein's predilections didn't cross over into that territory - I seem to recall seeing some evidence at some point indicating that some of the girls were younger than I'd thought - but I haven't seen anything other than the gross-sounding cryptic insinuations in the files to support it.
The most dishonest thing is that by being honest and simply saying "there is no evidence right now to conclude x" it's spun into either:
1. OMG YOUR' DEFENDING CHILD RAPISTS AND MURDERERS
or
2. OMG YOU'RE SAYING THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN (or, even more silly, that it never happens anywhere with anyone).
Because they're doing the gross emotional thing where they project the worst for any questioning of the narrative, which is the height of irony for the "doing your own research" and/or "thinking for yourself" crowd.

With your logic, it should be illegal for the federal government to make it illegal for illegals to vote.
That's already baked into the Constitution itself.
I have said ITT there is no philosophical opposition/hypocrisy by engaging in the policy goal of the SAVE Act as a Constitutional Amendment.
So, in that respect, they would be perfectly aligned in terms of political philosophy.
quote:
You think it's constitutional for the federal government to have voting requirements but unconstitutional to verify those requirements. That's terrible logic.
You are conflating the Constitution (and its amendments) with legislation.
