Our timeline is even stupider than the Biff timeline.
It's more stupid* or dumber...
I promised myself that I'd try my best not to argue with people on Lemmy over completely trivial things, but sometimes it can be a challenge.
The most stupiderp timeline
God damn it, meh.
Imagine the endless headlines and stupidity if Biden had accepted this 'gift'
They’d have impeached him over it
Qatar was trying to sell it for $250m, they just lied to trump about the value to stroke his ego. Either that or it's just another grandiose lie on his part
Are you kidding? There's $150,000,000 worth of bugs and other surveillance materials in there for sure.
Wtf is this cope?
The truth is weirder. It appears the DoD had been in talks to buy the plane straight up to become Air Force One. Then Trump blurts out that it's a gift. The government of Qatar didn't want to contradict him with negotiations still ongoing. It appears it will still be purchased outright.
There's still plenty of security concerns with that plane.
Edit: Forgot to mention the implication. Trump created a scandal around this for no purpose or gain what so ever.
I also want a source that DoD was trying to buy the plane. I haven't heard that one yet
Would need a source that it will be purchased.
It's end times like these I wish I believed in God.
IMO, it's because nobody does and just listens to their lower selves that these things happen. There have never been many believers in the West, nvm America... you have like two or three real ones like John Brown and that's it.
Um.... huge swathes of the fascist right in America do. You can't just hand wave away the bad ones and only accept the ones you like
They believe in anything but self restraint and selflessness (Law of Moses plus teachings of Jesus, at least), so how are they believers? Their trees only produce bad fruits! If I say I'm a single celled organism, does it make me so?
Not feeble - infiltrated by traitors.
Its been rendered feeble
... land of the meek, home of the lame
Feeble - that is an odd spelling of “complicit”
Every GOP congressperson/senator has the ability to stop this but they do not by choice. They are all complicit in supporting the presidents illegal actions.
He also launched an obvious bribe engime with his crypto and no one stopped that either.
Times like this make me wish Death Note wasn't just fiction.
Same here. But you better pray that if does come true, the death notes don't come into the hands of some young MAGA incel asshat.
Do you need to say "dollar" when there's already a $?
It reads as "400 million dollars dollar gift... " to me.
Feeble? Ya I mean the entire government is ran by old fucks. Of course they are feeble.
