Is the administration really only cutting 580 million from the military?

If what Bill Maher is saying is true this administration is a clown car. Terminating stewards of the land and legitimate environmental grants in the PNW while not even touching the military?



If it turns out being true we are only cutting 580 million dollars from the military then all of us Trump supporters were fleeced. The country will never fix the deficit if it isn’t serious about military fraud and waste and I would surely think even the average Trump supporter would understand. Given the early shite slinging on here apparently not.

You’re fricking retarded if you think our military needs nearly a trillion dollar budget.


I’m serious, you are an unserious human if you don’t understand the bloat and fraud in our military.

You literally don’t even understand Trump ran a campaign on stopping our tax dollars from paying for European interests and cutting military bloat/corruption.


How embarrassing lmao

Have you considered the difference(s) between identifying and addressing “fraud and waste” versus arbitrary and wholesale cuts across the board to everything, everywhere?

Because the military industrial complex is 1000 times more powerful than Trump and musk and every billionaire on the planet. They run this country bitch.

Right before we agree to spend 40 billion dollars for the F-47 to the worst air craft manufacturer in the world right now Boeing, the smartest richest man the world, a God among men worshipped as a living God by many said: Sir Elon Musk stated:

Musk elaborated on what he sees as the F-35’s flaws in a follow up post, stating:

“The F-35 design was broken at the requirements level, because it was required to be too many things to too many people. This made it an expensive & complex jack of all trades, master of none. Success was never in the set of possible outcomes. And manned fighter jets are obsolete in the age of drones anyway. Will just get pilots killed.

As Musk went on to explain, it is not just the F-35 he sees as outdated but all aircraft with pilots on board:

“Crewed fighter jets are an inefficient way to extend the range of missiles or drop bombs. A reusable drone can do so without all the overhead of a human pilot.

And fighter jets will be shot down very quickly if the opposing force has sophisticated SAM or drones, as shown by the Russia-Ukraine conflict.


Fighter jets do have the advantage of helping Air Force officers get laid. Drones are much less effective in this regard”

Twitter is not an ideal platform for nuanced discussion and there was little informed comment in what followed. The Pro-F-35 and Pro-Musk factions both seem so deeply entrenched they cannot see over the parapet to observe each other’s position.

Musk’s anti-F-35 rhetoric reached a high point with this cry: “Some US weapons systems are good, albeit overpriced, but please, in the name of all that is holy, let us stop the worst military value for money in history that is the F-35 program!”

The entire point of trump’s campaign was to grow a fricking pair and drain the swamp and the best rebuttal is “deal with it” as they don’t balance the budget and hold the military accountable

Lmao how embarrassing if you aren’t outraged.

I knew this board could be dense but I’m shocked how the responses on this board hint at no general understanding of how our military works

Why the frick are there so many bill maher threads here.

That dude has been a dipshit for four forevers.

You fricktards watch this guy?

There was thread with an hour link.

A fricking hour.

No thank you.

This dude hates everything mildly conservative people stand for and now have like nine dudes worried about him and linking his shite.

Oh. Is the tide changing. Did he change his schtick. Is there a modicum of rationale in now.

frick that dude.

If he’s smart enough to say anything reasonably intelligent now then he was five and ten years ago.

frick him.
