1. Eliminate military budget

Hah! Good one.

Patriotic red tailed hawk screech

And?

People seriously do not understand the degree of nationalistic propaganda anyone on a military installation is subjected to.

Every poster, every event, every song, every sale ad for the commissary or other on-base stores, daily national anthem blasted over Giant Voice systems.

It’s not just the military members themselves exposed to it; it’s their spouses and children; people are raised from birth in this environment. It’s every retiree who got a job back on the same base they retired from active duty on.

A US news echo chamber at the whims of whatever they think will appease trump is going to be horrifying…

It would be hilarious if they were so incompetent that they forget to not fuck with the Military Industrial Complex.

Even more so than Biden, he’s got a gut and constantly leans forward.

IT support everywhere sigh in satisfaction

I’d rather go out loud and proud than in a camp. I’d rather not have to though.

Weirdly reassuring reminder of their incompetence, not gonna get complacent tho.

Technically, it gives me more options financially to leave right now. I didn’t expect retirement to be in the cards to begin with, fully expect that fund to be slashed and drained under trump anyway.

Or for military contractors.

Shock collars during interviews would be entertaining and help keep people on topic

I would hedge my bets for now. Alternative scenario: The Saudis throw another party for Trump, make some business deals in exchange for reigning in Israel. The House of Al Saud of course doesn’t care about Palestinians but their people do and a party and some business is a low price to pay to be celebrated by your subjects.

Blech… this honestly seems more likely to me now, plus it can be used as propaganda to “prove” that he did something about genocide, to keep people voting red…

They’ll devour each other competing for the seat of cult leader when he dies.

At least then there might be infighting over who gets to be the next cult leader.

That’s hot

I legitimately asked my dad to buy an airhorn at one point while I was still living at home (only used a few times, once with a cat sleeping on me; I was VERY lucky not to have been clawed). I have (and still do occasionally) shut alarms off in my sleep.

I am just very hard to wake up and keep awake for the first hour or two if a day.

I think the strobing lights idea is genius

Probably good enough for police to half ass their way into a warrant?
