He’s a stable business genius!
He’s probably already given that info to Putin too.
Pooty’s jaw must ache from gritting his teeth so often over the stupidity of this expensive puppet.
It’s a stupid business decision, even if there was no literal or practical killswitch (in the form of withholding software updates and maintenance).
The reason everyone is buying F35s is that they are the only 5th generation fighter-bomber on the market. Everyone else is operating at best 4.5th generation fighters and fighter-bombers with the latest updated tranches of their local jets.
But if you publicly announce the export version of the F35 is “toned down”, it doesn’t have that edge anymore, and the 4.5th generation tranches of the Eurofighter, Gripen or Rafael suddenly look really attractive. Especially because they’re also cheaper and create wealth at home rather than abroad.
[ETA]
I remember when this was so obviously satire.
Proclaiming Nov. 14 a new national holiday as “Day One of Americlintonian Year Zero,” Clinton issued a directive of total martial law over “all territories formerly known as these United States, from now on to be called the Holy United Imperial Americlintonian Demopublic (HUIAD).” He added that all election results are “hereby invalidated under Demopublican provisional law.”
My oldest got caught in the changeover: had the first dose oral, but then as the numbers started to show that rare but dangerous response, her follow-up dose was killed vaccine via a shot instead.
More dictator shit. We must protect abuse of the legal system by abusing the legal system! Never mind the DOJ isn’t responsible for (dis)barring attorneys.
I think Krasnov is going to get a rude surprise when he meets with the King, who is more likely to say “Canada is Ours; you can’t have it”, than anything else. And this joining the Commonwealth thing, isn’t a thing.
Especially for the first country that specifically fought a war to separate from Great Britain.
And something he doesn’t seem to realise, which his ego would never allow, is that he would no longer be the Head of State; the King would be.
You get what you pay for, and we all know The rump is an easy mark, and a cheap date (stroke his ego, and watch him roll over and show his belly). Putin is very probably the richest man in the world, and yet I seriously doubt he spent any of his own money corrupting The rump.
Is it sad that, at this point, I would be more than okay with that?
Ah yes, a statement from Steven Cheung, the White House’s own Baghdad Bob*, who truly is a hateful POS, mixing utterly implausible claims and bald-faced lies with grotesque insults. Surprised he didn’t just call all the reporters covering this “child-molesting libtards” or something to distract from the issue. (Actually, he very well might have, and the press sanewashed it.)
*Ah, who am I kidding? Everyone doing any sort of press in this administration makes Baghdad Bob/Comical Ali look like a real paragon of truth in comparison. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf must be watching this shit and shaking his head in disbelief.
Trump needs to be reminded why the legal system exists. And why if it is eliminated as an option, there is only one other option available.
No, not sad at all. I’ve felt that way for a number of years. The Revolutionary War always seemed like a temper tantrum carried too far.
He’ll be needing that apology.
While the State of Maine has apologized for their Governor’s strong, but totally incorrect, statement about men playing in women’s sports while at the White House House Governor’s Conference, we have not heard from the Governor herself, and she is the one that matters in such cases. Therefore, we need a full throated apology from the Governor herself, and a statement that she will never make such an unlawful challenge to the Federal Government again, before this case can be settled. I’m sure she will be able to do that quite easily. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! DJT
