The headline is awful, but if you'd read the article you'd know it's referring to the jet of ionised matter that is ejected from the poles of a black hole.

That's debateable. Friedman had deeply liberal beliefs and openely talked about donating to groups with very liberal values.

The chart don't represent political parties at all, just the ideological leanings of the groups they donated to.

Edit: in fact, I'm pretty certain most people are misunderstanding what this shows. They're trying to make it sound like the money either went to the Democrats or the Republicans. That data will be in there, but they'll be in there alongside organisations like the ACLU.

Groups like this. https://www.startguide.org/orgs/orgs00.html

NATO helped you out after September 11th. Irregardless of whatever budgets were over or under the arbitrary spending number. Yet your country still winges like you’re the important ones.

What's wrong? Getting all antsy because you've not bombed a third world country in a while?

I know exactly what the 2% threshold is. What I object to is fucking yanks thinking they’re the center of the universe. Get a grip. The countries of Europe are more than capable of deciding what they need to spend on defence.

Because we can spend our taxes how we like. And if the war in Ukraine is anything to go by, the spares from our inventory and old soviet equipment has been more than capable of bitch slapping NATOs old enemy. Please do tell me what we need to spend on our militaries whilst I enjoy free healthcare.

You really don't. You subsidise your grossly overweight Military Industrial Complex and your aggressive international ambitions.
