BETHESDA, MD—Sources within Lockheed Martin confirmed today that loud cheering was heard coming from the defense contractor's executive board room.
The cheers coincided with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, as multiple voices within the U.S. condemned the attack and suggested that America intervene in the dispute.
"YEEEEEAH!!!!" came a cry echoing through the building. The sounds of high-fives, pounding on the conference table, and a loud, thumping chest bump were also heard. At one point, a chant erupted of, "WAR! WAR! WAR!" Some employees claim they heard the sound of a champagne bottle being opened, while others say confetti poppers went off throughout the morning.
One source said they heard a repetitive metal tapping sound, which was later confirmed to be the sound of sabers rattling, while another said she heard a loud, rhythmic booming, which was later confirmed to be war drums.
At publishing time, sources had confirmed that Lockheed Martin was throwing a free pizza party for all employees at their main offices.
Lez Cheney is having a wargasm 🤪
Take a chill pill! IT’S THE BEE!!
.
And it’s just a coincidence that Milley worked a back channel to China to undermine Trump the same way Vindman did with Ukraine?
.
“ Maybe he will pick up a rifle and go defend his beloved Ukraine?”
He can’t stab people in the back while holding a rifle 🤪
I appreciate your comment. It has nothing to do with the inappropriateness of the ‘satire’
There is no joy when you lay off thousands of workers, so there is motive to meet customer needs and do right by the stock holders. In other words, the ‘industrial complex’ doesnt work for free. Would you rather have a soviet style economy?
I am not justifying corrupt politicians. Some here, apparently you included, want to lump warriors, vets, and patriots into some evil cabal with corrupt pols and elites. As I said, we are here to support the warrior so that they come home to their families.
The Bee should a story about the excellent results the United Nation’s troops got in containing Putin’s aggression. Oh, wait…
“Some here, apparently you included, want to lump warriors, vets, and patriots into some evil cabal...”
And it takes a complete idiot, which you apparently are, to yank that sentiment from my post. I got what I said from Eisenhower, who was a patriot and a warrior and a vet.
The USA has as much interest in the Ukraine-Russia conflict as in the Tigray war.
Well said.
It takes people with no people skills to call others idiots rather converse. What Eisenhower said is unrelated to a post that implies contractors high five each other when wars breakout.
Which is still unrelated to my comment as to the inappropriateness of the Bs satire.
I am not concerned using “people skills” with people who are pricks who accuse me of saying patriots and warriors and vets are evil. And, I was not addressing what the Babylon Bee said, I addressed what you posted. But, you are stupid and could not tell the difference.
In other words, they are sad when they lobby for those lucrative defense contracts. And politicians, when they leave office, are forced to take those lucrative lobbying jobs for the defense contractors. And Eisenhower was talking out of his head when he warned of the military/industrial complex. Were you born on planet Earth?
You tell me, with all the sarcasm in your post how else was anyone on this planet supposed to interpret it? Anyone would presume you are condemning contractors for responding to customer requests. Also you snarkily imply I discount the Eisenhower warning.
You demean yourself with the name calling, calling others stupid (even pricks) when they only read your own words the only way they can be interpreted. If I misunderstood your post, and you weren’t so wound up to vent your anger on this forum, you would have bothered to address my misunderstanding. Now it just appears you want to be an ass.
My original post was that the B’s satire is insulting to many, including people that conservatives on this forum would at least give the courtesy of having a conversation that can have differences of opinion. My position stands. Not funny.
This is a conservative forum. I would hope ‘conservatives’ could be more civil.
“This is a conservative forum. I would hope ‘conservatives’ could be more civil.”
You mean that when you accuse me of maintaining that patriots and warriors and vets are evil, that your are being civil?
You are a prick and stupid and this conversation is over.
GFY
Well said.
That’s what slings are for.
