Perhaps, if we weren’t such a colossal asshole of a nation, we wouldn’t be so afraid that others want to bomb us into the Stone Age… On second thought, the Stone Age is exactly where we belong.

Yes, we’re attacked so often by cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, and drones, conventional or nuclear, that we obviously need this $175 billion fantasy. Besides Israel, did his Saudi pals behind 9/11 convince this merchant of death to flush our budget in this gold crapper?

Hahahahahhahhahahahhahshahhahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha breathe hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahqhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Is it my imagination or do I remember a Republican President warning us about the immense economic power of the Military-Industrial Complex, telling us to avoid letting them have too much influence on our government?

🤣🤣🤣 "100% operational control" "we will protect the homeland from ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonic missiles, drones, nuclear..." A river of bullshit and Trump is sitting there lapping it up, of course.

Hegseth originally wanted to demo the concept by inverting a margherita glass over a tablet with Google maps open on it, but he was talked out of it. (He drank the margherita anyways).

We are all going to die. There is no f'n tech or network of platforms that can protect a country this large from overseas or from sea weapons systems. Iron Dome works as well as it does is they are small. Also, note that the Houthi defeated it last weak. Hamas & Hezbollah defeat it. FFS

You fail to see the opportunities for defense contractors that a project this stupid represents. We could sink the entire GDP of the USA into this project for a decade without any guarantee it will be needed let alone work.

Exactly. This is a contractors dream. Just turn on the spigot & let the cash flow. There truly is no bottom to the dumb stuff this criminal can convince the cult.

"Golden Dome". It's Trump's version of Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars). What ever became of that and all the money invested in it? It must be a recurring fantasy of old men with dementia.

I'm old enough to remember when there were bonafide heroes in the republican party who sacrificed and served their country with honor, but the one to get actual hero worship and blind obedience is this cowardly pathological liar who sits in the oval office and diminishes it with every passing hour.

So defence of the US air space will be a system Elon Musk is involved in? A system where, for the right price, it can be turned off ? What is that worth to Russia and China?

What are they hoping to stop ? Missiles from Canada and Mexico ? Im presuming it will also stop all radiation from nukes .. assuming they will eventually fall out with Putin etc

And every time before that (back to Pearl Harbor,) it was folks (generally Americans,) already on our soil. Seems like a LOT of hypothetical defense. Once again, Repubs spending billions for a made-up problem…

“Golden Dome” - asking for a friend but won’t Notre Dame, students, and alumni make a prior art claim on that name? #GoldenDomers #HomeUnderTheDome #NotreDame

Apparently Trump's big problem _isn't_ that he's pushing for the biggest deficit in American history, making Dems look like reactionaries by comparison. No, his biggest problem was that not enough people are laughing at him. This should finally get through to the non-laughers.

What? A gold coloured map with lines on it will save your lives? Fan flipping tastic! Let's all draw pictures of sane, intelligent humans and make them come to life. They can replace those currently in your administration. Must be a gold thing, like the tacky doodads on the wall and mantel.

When ballistics are shot down in the golden dome will the debris shower down on us? I feel like there's a phrase just waiting for Trump to call his own. Just like how he coined "groceries".... golden shower will now be his as well.

This is deranged. When was the last time we were attacked? Oh that’s right. In 2001 from the same people Trump just gave arms to.
