🏳️🌈🖖🏽I was told the GOP cares about fraud, waste and abuse.
Hot Dog Water, will not complyBuying loyalty from soldiers with meat.
Raven667@GGMcBG @georgetakei i mean, yes?! The job can suck, the pay sucks, the least we can do is keep people well fed.
Ha.
No.
Arguing soldiers, who CHOOSE to do that job, require lobster, crab and prime steaks to show-up to work, isn't anywhere I want to go further discussing. Unless EVERYONE gets lobster, steak and a fruit cup with more peaches than pear chunks, for showing up to their job.
If they weren't eating well before, they could quit and sell the loyalty of their stomach to Starbuck's. Or, you know, fight for it.

You know what I never expected? Anything.
Ilka 🌐@GGMcBG I am sure they are much happier to waste their lives on an illegal & senseless war with those clablegs and steaks in their belly. /sarcasm

@georgetakei
@georgetakei I am trying to stay sane somehow - how else would one stomach this completely insane group of power mongers, (voted into office voluntarily by "the ppl"), without a trace for any of the human accomplishments like social behaviour, empathy, logic, law, sense for business,... many more.
@GGMcBG
@GGMcBG
Paul_IPv6sure they care about it. it's their entire career/business plan.
The Squeakaphelagic Zone@georgetakei... Isn't this what they give to soldiers before sending them on a mission they're unlikely to survive? You know, like what we give a dog about to be put down?
This war's just getting started and they fucking know, but they're lying and saying it's gonna be quick.
@georgetakei maybe that was some boondoggle but there are a few ways that the DoD could spend like that which i think people can understand, 1) the DoD operates a global grocery chain in the commissary, which provides subsidized food for service members amd their families, so a better comparison would be to Kroger or another grocery, and 2) they try to serve more premium food to service members who are on deployment, esp in the Navy, and moreso depending on how difficult the assignment is, eg submarimes. Unless they can show this was for the civilian leadership skimming id be skeptical of the headline alone
@raven667 @georgetakei nope, fuck the lot of them and in that order. Fuck the subs that hide and let the others die, fuck the navy way offshore thats hard to target, fuck the special forces that hit and run, but the most of all is fuck the rich that send the poor of all aspects to die so they can make more money. None of this makes normal people in America ( or anywhere else) more safe.

Let them eat lobster.
Let them eat lobster.
Basti@georgetakei is it really billions? Do I understand that right? For one person? In one month?
TheNovemberFella ✊🏳️🌈 🇺🇦☸️🛰️🚀@georgetakei Well, the #GOP says that, and the GOP lies 🙄
samiamsamno education
no food
no healthcare
no living wage
no affordable housing
we can't afford those
@samiamsam you can cater either 344 million average citizens or 989 Billionaires - can't do both - the USamericans have decided. I hope they are all super happy about how great everything is run now & how much they are winning all the time.
@georgetakei
edit: forgot /sarcasm
@georgetakei They are the total opposite when they can scoop up the money, perks and power
Grumble 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇬🇱@georgetakei Of course the GOP cares about Fraud, Waste and Abuse!
But they mostly care if someone else gets to have all the fun.
Keith@georgetakei oh, they care about fraud, waste, and abuse. They care very much that they get to continue to commit fraud, waste American tax dollars, and abuse their positions for personal gain.
Justin M@georgetakei was always a lie.
415s30@georgetakei It's pretty disturbing that so few people can start all of this, I don't think anywhere near a majority of people in the country would want this. We need a whole new way to govern if this is possible.

@iveyline@georgetakei Hesketh is a total liability to the US people. Worse than useless. He should have stuck with Fox News
@georgetakei They killed millions of sick and starved children in Africa! What a hypocrisy and cynism! You’re gonna burn in hell maga bastards!
I was told the GOP cares about fraud, waste and abuse.
HAHA, they are a bunch of total wasters, hogseth is a symptom not the disease.
Maigus@georgetakei is anybody seriously surprised?
@DM2WB I know I'm disappointed, but not surprised.
@georgetakei they do care about waste, fraud & abuse - even tax evasion - but only for the non-billionaires.
"Tighten the belt" in their world only applies to those who need to work for a living. Cutting $500 MILLion in food budget on which ~50 million ppl depend on, is worth it to them to give the warrior princess Kegseth $93 BILLion to spend on luxury food & furniture. I am sure there is nothing wrong with the picture of his glorified "hard as nails warrios" snuggling in comfy cuddly chairs.
