You keep using this word...
Defund does not mean "reduce".
And anyone who doesn't believe we need to reduce the amount our government spends is not paying attention.
I'm pretty sure it is a completely appropriate use of the word.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/defund
Definition of defund
transitive verb
: to withdraw funding from
Merriam-Webster even provides a handy example that illustrates the appropriateness:
[/quote]Others are angry that more than two years into Republican control of all three branches of the federal government, Planned Parenthood still hasn’t been fully defunded.[/quote]
No need to say fully defunded if the word, as you say, means completely defunded as opposed to reduced funding. The meaning of reduced funding is also pretty clear from its prefix (de), which means down from.
But of course, all of this semantics is beside the point. You knew what was meant (i.e., reduced funding). And you also know that reducing it overtime is the path to fully defunding it.

The assertion was that the GOP consistently proposes to defund those programs. Cheeseweasel implied that this assertion was false. I provided budget proposals from Trump's White House in two consecutive years that proved the assertion true. And your response is to lecture me on the nature of presidential budget proposals?
How about next time you just say this: Yes Dahobbs, you are right and Cheeseweasel was wrong, the GOP does consistently propose to defund those programs.
And then, if you want to make the point you thought you were making, you could add: But the GOP doesn't really mean it when it proposes that stuff. It is just trying to rile up the base.
And my response would be: how in the fucking world does that make it better? Do you really think that is at all a "good" point for you?

Stop watching CNN.
Trump literally proposed to defund those programs in both his 2018 and 2019 budgets proposed.

See page 43 - "reform the welfare system" = $272 billion decrease in funding over 10 years
See page 43 - $190 billion reduction in SNAP (food stamps)

They cant (legally) drink or join the military. Do you seriously think 16 year olds are mature enough?
We allow old people to vote that suffer similar mental deficiencies. And at least 16 year olds have some stake in how the future turns out.

Seriously, does he have any idea how to throw a strike? What the fuck did the team do last night?

Don’t see many guys reach on a K, get to 2B on a dropped tag in a rundown, & score on a Where’s Waldo route.
This is a good point. It was a race between our team and him to see who could fuck up the most. I guess we won.

Oh good. We may down another catcher.

Elder getting no breaks. Passed ball turns a strikeout into a man on first.

Damn. Thier bats are alive.
He has been missing some pitches to make it easier. And the ump fucked up. And so did Reagan. But a good strikeout. Followed by another steal....
