So what are you saying there is an expiration date? If they need to they will make lots.

Where did I say that?

It's just big and very crude bomb. There is no sophistication in it. It doesn't even have to be designed for compatibility with any real military aircraft. It's just a dead load to be shoved out the back of a cargo plane.

It is just a bigger version Assad's barrel bomb, crudely usable only against targets that have no air defense ability whatsoever.

One could done as well by shoving Timothy McVeigh's fertilizer bomb in a Ryder truck out the back of cargo plane.

Don't bother, the graduates of the University of the Internet are the experts in this field.  Rolleyes

And from ten thousand feet you can fly it to within a meter of its target. But it's a big dumb bomb.  Argue

Just like the WLB cutting the Meals On Wheels program or some of his people saying children who can't afford to buy lunches in school should go hungry. How is any of what he or his administration done "making america great"?

Here's a clue:



Again citing fake news and suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome! The whole WLB is just another leftist projection of who they are; Whiny little bitches! Meals on wheels will remain, school children will not go hungry, and if you have not been paying attention to the financial news, he is making America great again. Consumer confidence is up, small business confindence is up, hiring is up, unemployment is going down, the national debt is going down. The progressives who really want to keep the poor down in order to control them is losing because as we all know a rising tide raises all ships, and you are about to see a resurgence of business which will hire people, and raise wages to keep talent and increase prosperity which will lead to the decrease of inequality. It's one thing the left doesn't understand, business. A major reason I and others have left the left.

No we are NOT simply whining. You don't know economic history or simply want to ignore it because you love the idea of a "tough guy" in office. 

REAGAN started the age of deregulation and union busting. And since then the GOP has increasingly gerrymandered district maps so much so they have the majority of state governments, the majority of governorships and the majority of the house and senate and supreme court in that 37 years. Democrats have only held the presidency 16 of the past 37 years.

And since then the pay gap has exploded, the top 1% are running away from the bottom two classes. Ike warned the world, not just America, but the world's leaders what bloated military spending could lead to, and now the world has nukes. 

THE DEBT IS GOING DOWN because of OBAMA not Bush, or did you forget what Bush left us with? 

Now this bullshit about bringing jobs back is a short term illusion. It is the same "tax cuts for the rich" that ends up in long term debt and sets up future bubbles.

Thanks for correcting me. I am a horrible speller, but I do try. I think I fixed it.

And I really don't want to hear shit about Trump saving us money considering the money we have to spend sending him 13 times to FLA so far, and protection of his wife who is still in NY and the security for his kids. Trump is costing us big time just by himself.
