1. Yeah but Star Fleet started by selling mouse pads at a bake sale

I’m just saying.

2. Pissing money away

End of story

3. What do you think sport stadium fly-overs are?

Or Blue Angel shows?

Since when did Americans NEED prompting to feel patriotic? (well, before this farking disaster we are currently in)

They are nothing more than propaganda paid for with taxpayer money. MILLIONS of dollars that could be used to fund hundreds of things that would ACTUALLY help people, such as fixing bridges or building hospitals. Or maybe even pumping some into our failing school systems.

Every time I see a fly-over, I want to

4. Oh, I'm sure that tRUMP is getting his cut. After all, waste is in the eye of the beholder...

5. It's going to be a free-for-all from here on out. They'll spend as much as they

can and pocket the rest if they think nobody is looking. Meanwhile, we can't afford the USPS, or Food Stamps.

Poor Joe, assuming he wins, is going to take over a mess the likes of which few presidents have seen.

6. At the very least they should have blown their wad

on something more aerodynamic. Maybe a dirigible airship, a hypersonic glide vehicle or a manned high altitude balloon, even a lawn chair attached to some party balloons.

Slapping their fame and fortune on ground based vehicles seemingly sends the wrong message... If they considered themselves to be a viable program in the USAs already bloated military proliferation.

On the other hand, it's a seamless way for Trump to funnel gobs of taxpayer money into the pockets of some of his biggest supporters.

Well played.

7. Oh, it's just money

Our money.

8. while the USPS gets defunded and artificially inhibited

seems like another bad deal to me

9. Really bad optics at a time like this. n/t

10. But that $600 extra in UE benefits though....

That is beyond the pale.
