US Military Budget Just Increased By Another 100 Billion...Media Silent

[ReptilianPeon]

Surely - with an overt Fascist in the Oval Office - the Democrats should be clamoring to reduce the power of the military? Only ten senators voted against the increase to the military budget. What happened to the so-called "Resistance"?
