Okay, I’m calling balls and strikes here. Over the last 9 months, we’ve noticed the opposition stand against anything – darn near every action the current President takes. Their latest hissy-fit of late: The White House Upgrade / East Wing Demolition – depending on how you view it...
I AM GOING TO DONATE A FEW BUCKS-—IN THE NAME OF CHARLIE KIRK
IF THE KID THROWING YOU FRENCH FRIES GETS $20 AN HOUR:
WHAT WAGE DO YOU THING CARPENTERS.SCULPTORS (CEILING) & OTHER PEOPLE WORKING ON THIS ADDITION SHOULD BE PAID???
ASK YOURSELF WHY NYC HOTELS ARE GETTING $56 MILLION A MONTH TO HOUSE & FEED ILLEGALS.
THE MEALS CAME OUT TO $42 FOR EACH ONE===$126 DAY.
Trump stole his ideas from the Sweet and their song Ballroom Blitz. Prove me wrong.
I do not remember even caring about what other presidents did to the White House except for Hillary’s disgusting Christmas decor.
That was a big one. And it was only interior decorating.
Instead, we have a sad pathetic Congress.
I would love to see that clip. It sounds like he had a healthy level of transtosterone.
Which seems to be a problem with the legislative system.
However we split our government into three so it would continue to function, however imperfectly, when the legislature threw in the towel as they often seem to do.
King Charles is head of state IN NAME ONLY.
He can’t start a war, can’t impose tariffs, can’t pass a simple law to round up stray dogs. The royals are parasites on Brits.
Neither can the US Head of State.
In his role as Chief Executive the president was given power to impose tariffs by Congress. But he may not declare war and certainly can not pass (the word you were looking for here is declare by the way, not pass) a law to round up stray dogs.
Civics. You really should have learned that in ninth grade.
But you seem to know nothing about either the US or UK system.
I’m looking for the due process involved in the navy attacking the Barbary Pirates. Looking…looking…
As has been inferred, we KNOW these bozos have loaded drugs on these boats. They likely know the guys on the boats names. We are not wandering the Caribbean looking for targets of interest.
So…why not use the Coast Guard? We’ve been doing that for years. How effective has it been?
This is shock and awe. The Coast Guard isn’t intimidating and easy to avoid. A missile blowing up your boat with no warning is a great deterrent.
Could well be because these high-speed cargo boats are too fast for a high endurance Coast Guard cutter. A CG helo can chase, but probably isn’t capable of doing much beyond that. So it’s the USN.
Another key is that these boats combine speed, range & payload and that makes them a very specific design. If these strike videos are legit, every single one of those boats is identical. So we have a very specific target type.
I’m not comfortable blasting these boats without congressional buy-in. I think we both know that isn’t on offer. That brings the possibility that Trump is doing what the top congressional critters want... For now.
All this whining about drug runners.
Packages of coke floating ashore after a strike. Subs carrying dope. Subs? Innocent fishermen?
Drug runners at this level are sponsored, aided and abetted by governments.
You have an interesting point there, they do in fact nest together in very large cities. And if these A-holes get a nuke war going, they will be among the first turned into ashes.
Another point to be made is if they start a civil war, just stop all deliveries to their big cities, shut off their electricity and that in turn will shut off their water and sewer systems. Their emergency generators for public works, also for cell towers, will run out of diesel. More would die of murdering each other than disease or starvation.
> 90,000 square feet. Good price. Also you gave to account for more than just the building. Tables, chairs, equipment, etc.
SECURITY
Built-in security costs big bucks, really big bucks. Absolute assurance that nothing is hidden, nothing CAN be hidden, that could compromise or God forbid take out our guys (POTUS, VPOTUS, etc.) or any visiting dignitaries.
I have no doubt the contractors are vetted to within an inch of their lives, and only hiring the most capable and trustworthy workers.
Security Costs Real Money. The "amazing" prices does not surprise me.
Trump’s sound system lit
Like maybe a roller rink?
