FELON PEDO TRUMP IS ROBBING US BLIND, JUST THROWING MONEY OUT THE WINDOW AND BANKRUPTING OUR COUNTRY JUST LIKE ALL OF HIS BUSINESSES- HES A FUCKING CROOK AND HES NOT EVEN OUR PRESIDENT!!! LOCK UP OUR TREASURY- CUT THIS FUCKER OFF NOW!!!!

This is far less of a waste than planned. #Ukraine Not only is it stupid to send anything to the grifters of perpetual war, but the big question is where these weapons would have gone - either to the EU black market or to Israel, as Zelensky has bragged.

This is why you don't award no bid contracts and why we had DEIA so all viable contracts would be at the table to pick from. The operative work is pick, this means the person hiring still picks the best. Mediocrity is why things fail and fall apart, people who don't deserve something getting it.

One can only laugh at this. Then get pissed…Stay pissed. Too many USA-ers are too “comfortable” to protest for any kind of change, so they put up with mediocrity and stupidity whilst keeping their heads down hoping nobody noticed that they are complicit, eventually, by inaction…
