    So half way build, then stop paying people, and then blaming everyone else for not finishing it, and then scrapping it all while blaming Biden for the “Very failed ships that Biden should never have started building” ?

    Like a 4 years old: “but Mommy! At the kindergarten Kim said that he got an air carrier! I want one too!”

    This is not something a sane president would do. They would not want to win a nobel peace prize then want to attach their name to the deadliest tier of a weapon.

      I honestly think so many of them went so balls-deep on embracing this loser that they cannot admit to themselves, never mind others, just how wrong they were.

        The vast majority of them aren’t in the denial stages, because they’re still ignorant of everything bad that he’s doing.

        Remember, republicans have been maintaining a media ecosystem (Fox News and select radio pundits) for 40+ years spoonfeeding lies to these people, telling them at every opportunity that all other media networks besides them are liars and out to get them/destroy the country/etc. It’s a relationship not unlike domestic abuse, with the abuser telling their victim that no one will “love” and “care for” them as much as the abuser does.

        Fox News isn’t reporting on Trump’s low poll numbers, or rising prices, or that ICE is kidnapping innocent people, or that the govt released fully redacted Epstein files, or the damning unredacted files implicating Trump, or any other thing that could put this administration in a negative light. Their bottom line and continued existence depends on them keeping their audience divorced from reality. And their audience largely considers any other media besides Fox News as fake, so these ghouls must keep the grift going and the lies flowing.

        They say that family and friends of psychopathic serial killers have that problem. Can’t viscerally admit that they accepted the killer into the family.

    Design highlights of the new #Trump class #battleships:

    1. Very wide amidships
    2. Capable of wrecking entire countries
    3. Loudest engines ever
    4. Largely funded by Saudis
    5. Solid gold toilets
    6. Totally full of bilge water.

    Bit of trivia: the mid-life refit program for Canada’s Iroquois-class destroyer was called TRUMP: Tribal Refit and Update Modernisation Program.

    That program happened in the 1980s, so Mr. Trump is 40ish years late to claim the name.
