Trump planning on gutting $1+ trillion dollar F-35 fighter jet program

[scat]

Hopefully this trend continues. Last I heard we're still building tanks that immediately go to a military graveyard of sorts. If any military brahs can confirm/deny this....

Sort of. They go to a PrePo yard, or Army Pre-position yard and basically stand-by until someone asks for one.

[vik66]

but he wants to improve the nuclear program which will cost 10x more that the f-35 program....uwotm8

[BigBlueCouch]

at the same time saying to expand nuclear weaponry. :l which is not necessary we already have enough nukes to destroy earth. Draining the swamp is getting corporate out of politics, he has invited nothing but corporate bilionaires into the white house. Not only has him and the republicans accepted briberys but now they are not only modifying policies, instead letting the corporate billionaires inside the government to make there own policies and gurantee they go through.

So now the people are no longer going to be governed by politicians, but instead by corporate billionaires. I don't think this is draining the swamp. This is what we call corporate take over.

You can laugh about trump won, blah blah blah. But things just got worse than ever. You think taking briberys and doing favors is bad, now we got bribery and giving jobs to corporate CEO's in the government! They are going to be in the government I repeat that. how dumb can be brah to not see what's happening? I was interested in seeing what he can do but this lunacy.

How can you argue about hilary doing favors for banks and corporate, and then be fine with trump giving corporate bank ceo's and oil tycoons, goon billionaires actually positions in the government, forget lobbying they now have corporate in the government jobs.

So we shouldn't have career politicians or people who have been successful in business. Alright. Who the fuk do you want in these positions then?

I love how he tweets and hope he continues to during his presidency. Dude is a genius in some aspects. He is smart enough to know social media is an easy and effective way to reach the masses. Seems like he is doing the tweeting himself too not some publicist. Politicians are so out of touch with the common person that a billionaire tycoon is more relatable somehow. Also love how he throws out feeler statements and other countries, corporations, leaders, etc immediately respond back saying they are willing to negotiate. Dude is showing better diplomacy than obama and he isn't even in office yet.

It's the Trump version of FDR's Fireside Chats

You're that guy that just waits to hear any kind of political discussion so you can launch into this mindless diatribe.

I bet you've given that speech a lot of times, and I bet not a lot of people say much afterwards. Just so you know, you didn't win those discussions. They were probably just embarrassed for you and hoped to move to other topics.

[GainzMcgee]

Do you think Megyn Kelly phucked trump?

No but he definitely phuked her.

[momo5]

politicians who are fit for the job, the president needs to get money and bribery out of politics , it went from lobbying and bribery to full corporate in the government. He has done nothing but make it worse.

What he said makes sense. What is your argument against that?

Oh so you trust politicians. Let me refer you to the 2016 election to show you that no one else does. Lets get the money and bribery out of government by doing the same thing we have always done but putting in career politicians in these positions. Surely, doing the same thing that has always been done shall yield different results.

Tard gonna Tard

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

This is now an A-10 appreciation thread

I'll never forget the first time I heard one firing. It sounded like God himself ripped a giant taco bell fart.

[PriestAndrettii]

Seems a bit late now. Most of the money on the Lockheed contract has already been spent, he'd end up paying more by having to start again and end up with a ****ter plane.

This. The plans are already rolling of the production line and are in the fleet right now. Only thing you can do is limit the number of planes purchased.

[PriestAndrettii]

Sell us the raptor you kunts

Lol. I think the production line is completly shut down. Rapotors are done for good.

[BigBlueCouch]

Lol. I think the production line is completly shut down. Rapotors are done for good.

Those are the true GOATs. God Emperor trump will reignite the production line

[woody19]

Wat? Why the fuk wood we do that? I'm with cutting it but 50 percent? Come on brah

You obviously don't know how much fraud waste and abuse goes on in the military.

50% is arguably not even enough

[Ayz33]

what a dumb mother ****er...he knows nothing about airpower

[Neapolitan1]

Conservatives/trumpers for the last 30 years when liberals talk about cutting pentagon spending: WTF you are weakening our military you anti-american commie/terrorist/socialist/other buzzword

Conservatives/trumpers when trump talks about cutting military spending: time to get back on my knees for lord emperor trump!

Yep

I fully support Trump reigning in these useless military programs. But the hypocrisy here is just too much.

[ContrarianIndi]

Update: Lockheed CEO just woke the fuk up and decided to come to the table LOL

I'm almost getting tired of winning and he's not even president yet.

It's not so black and white.

Example:
Airforce and Navy need 300 jets? Buy 200 F-35's, breakeven on R&D and chit like that, then order 100 Super hornets


No need to spend a trillion when there are ANY angles to cut costs

[ContrarianIndi]

what a dumb mother ****er...he knows nothing about airpower

He definitely knows how to negotiate on the taxpayer's behalf.

[ContrarianIndi]

Lol. I think the production line is completly shut down. Rapotors are done for good.

Would cost a pretty penny to retool and rehire engineers familiar with the F-22 program.

Canada just ordered a bunch of new F-18's instead of F-35's so, as I understand it, the production line for Super hornets is still good to go.

[m1n2v5]

Can't even imagine what 8 years of this winning is gonna be like

[straightflexing]

Can't even imagine what 8 years of this winning is gonna be like

we are going to be tired of winning...

[AgRyan]

I'll never forget the first time I heard one firing. It sounded like God himself ripped a giant taco bell fart.

One time I was in a TIC and we had one do a flyover right by us like 200 ft off the deck when it came in. HNNNNGGGGG. Then that one and another did half a dozen gun runs on the enemy. Biggest "America Fuk Yeah" moment.

I imagine many Taliban died with poops in their pants that day.

[moosik85]

Female CEO. No wonder the company is all show no substance.

[AlvinDavenport]

I sure hope so. There is zero use for an aircraft with STOVOL capabilities.

[Bar182]

Please Mr. Trump I can't take it anymore, I am tired of winning, we are winning too much please stop!

Days as US President: 0.

Days of winning left: 2922

[xLostxAngelx]

Scary. I wouldn't have signed the deal with Lockheed. If you're going to issue a threat to jump ship, you should just jump ship in precaution of sabotage. Put nothing�past anyone�for anything. The military is constantly up against individuals that do not conceive any threat is real. Repercussions are disassociated as a concern at the start of the conception. Disregard is the nature of the thought.

It's the responsibility of intelligent people to understand and discern this logical adaptation, to effectively take proper precaution for it (or proactive effort against it) concerning any individuals (or social-psychological course of events) that might be a catalyst to this behavior (or behavioral reaction).

Based on the general greed and spite of big business, I'd definitely identify that to be a potential threat here, and wouldn't even negotiate a deal with Lockheed, but would simply cut them off entirely.

Safety first.

lol as if we needed more proof that Trump is working for the Russians
