⚡️🇺🇸 WATCH - Marco Rubio says that in the next few months, the U.S. government will use facial recognition to authenticate your photos for your passport, eliminating the need to go to Walgreens or CVS for a passport photo. Rubio says this is being done for your own good and to save you time. "Our security system will verify the facial ID."

Cue Americans giving Europeans shit for this stuff. 😂 Also, you can use air-conditioning in Europe, you just have to go and buy it.

It isn't. The size of the government, it's debt, and it's budget tend to expand under the Republican Party, not shrink.

73% of spending is just entitlements and the national debt. Republicans hire employees and expand defense and stuff for old folks, and cut taxes. Democrats hire beauracrats and expand stuff for old folks and single moms, and don't cut taxes.

I'm a registered Republican and I think defense is pretty much the only thing any federal government should be spending money on. That and maybe diplomacy, a federal court system, and a state department. If they did that, the gov would be a quarter of its current size. Which sounds about right.
