Trump's Second Term

Put acquisition system on a wartime footing.
Or, get rid of oversight so we can buy from our crony vendors.

Hegseth: "We must wage an all-out campaign to streamline the Pentagon's process, to unshackle our people from unproductive work and to shift our resources from the bureaucracy to the battlefield. Our objection is simple: transform the entire acquisition system to operate on a wartime footing."

Buy ◊◊◊◊ because we can get it quicker and take a cut.

Hegseth: "We mean to increase acquisition risk in order to decrease operational risk. Let me say that again. We need to increase acquisition risk in order to decrease operational risk ... An 85% solution in the hands of our armed forces today is infinitely better than an unachievable 100% solution endlessly undergoing testing."

He already confused Harlem and Harvard, so I wouldn't be surprised.
What confuses me the most is how much they're complaining about the situation in Portland, a city that according to them doesn't exist anymore since it was burned down in 2020 🤔.

The taxpayers will buy any kind of crazy stuff you can come up with, just on a million to one shot in case it works and somebody else gets it first.
 
Uh oh . . .


UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) -- The U.S. turkey population has reached its lowest level in nearly four decades as Thanksgiving approaches.

The American Farm Bureau Federation reports an estimated 195 million birds this year, attributing the decline to multiple outbreaks of avian diseases.


This lower supply is expected to lead to higher prices for shoppers.

The USDA forecasts a national average wholesale price that is 40% higher than last year.

Who exactly is it that they think US military acquisitions have to be upgraded to fight? We know he luvs Putin, so who else... America's allies?

What's the list of countries he's threatened at? Greenland, Canada, Venezuela, Nigeria, Mexico, the EU, China, Iran, South Africa, all of BRICS, Panama, Colombia, Congo, Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, Thailand... meh, I'm tired of listing them. Not all of those threats were specifically for military force, yes, but far more than enough are and Trump and co's threats escalate extremely easily.

So there's a 15% chance any of the weapons issued to the US military will break, jamb, or blow up at the wrong time. Awesome!

At 79, Trump looks more handsome than 34-year-old Zohran Mamdani.

Hey! People have different tastes! Some people really like them old, fat, and feeble(minded). Especially if it would mean a nice payout on their presumably soon death.
