So much money wasted funneled.

They’re fucking garbage.

You mean Turkey makes the structural frames for same F-35 fighter that has consistently failed to deliver the promised results, become the most cost overrun plagued defense project in history, and has basically been one giant clusterfuck from the moment it was designed? That F-35?

I will never forget the episode where Jeff Daniel’s character is asked what makes America the greatest country in the world. He responds, basically, that it isn’t... but it sure use to be.

I know trump doesn’t read and certainly never paid attention in high school literature classes but so much of what he says/tweets remind me of Ozymandias.

I didn’t say there were negative consequences (though I’m sure I could find some if I dug deep enough), but that there was a long-term cost that outlived the war by decades.

I grew up in Germany, on a US military installation. That was in the 80s/90s—since then, that installation has shut down, and much of the…

Nope. Students are paying for everything that’s entailed in actual education: classroom, exercises, lectures, whatever other events the professor decides belong in a given course syllabus and assigns to their class.

Just change the logo...you’ll be fine.

why not both *gif*

It’s natural that a figure who equates himself with the state would call any personal disloyalty treason. It’s buffoonish, but it’s also pure and dangerous authoritarianism.

Schroeder’s Traitor.

Before Trump I wouldn’t have believed it possible that a President could display such idiotic incompetence that he could, against all odds, somehow make withdrawing troops from the never ending quagmire of the Middle East into a bad thing.

Schroeder’s Dbag.

Would have never guessed he would come up short.  Wide right maybe,  but not short. 

...actions have consequences...

If he wants to be dictator we should treat him like one: permanent exile on some island somewhere and all his supporters can go with him.

It’s not like this is the first time American Assholes overplayed their hand...
