Yes, yes, we’ll all watch the star studded spectacle… and while we’re busy looking that way, our benefits will get cut. Again. Love how they JUST changed the Post 9/11 GI Bill that was supposed to benefit those of us who served in the war on terror… THANKS Guys… Support the Troops, my ass. More like support the contractors who fuck OVER the troops.
They’re just hoping all the first responders who got sick sucking up asbestos die before they have to pay them.
I’m sure to piss someone off that day.
Just like I did 10 years ago.
Maybe they’ll fly a couple dozen drone aircraft into the UN building … for old times’ sake.
