President Donald Trump’s administration urged a judge not to block his planned arch, saying it could help “mitigate” threats from the sky as an ongoing air traffic systems failure grounded flights nationwide.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin…says the arch would, “when properly equipped, provide an opportunity to substantially expand UAS detection,” meaning the ability to spot drones.
…wat?
Trump first cast the arch as a “top grade Military Complex” for drones and snipers in a Sept. 20 Truth Social post, after originally pitching it as a monument to the nation’s 250th anniversary.
To be fair, a tacky arch in a fascist style, built at great taxpayer expense and corporate profit despite no one wanting it, and packed full of snipers and drones, would make a fine monument to what the USA has become over its 250 years.
Just gotta bolt a couple of Flock cameras to it and put a “Whites only” sign at the entrance and the monument to the USA’s giant leap backward will be complete.
He’s trying to frame it as a national security asset because the courts tend to give the president more latitude in that area. I’m assuming the court will be smart enough to see through the sham.
They’re going to put a guy on the top that screams if he see a drone
My first thought was this one
I mean… Properly equipment, a scale replica of the Jolly Green Giant could do the same thing.
“Its weight will also help dampen the effects of earthquakes, make little children laugh with joy and increase the beneficial effects of the Sun on human mood by reflecting additional sunshine from its gaudy baroque accoutrements.”
Ok here is my best guess.
Trump’s brain:
I am hungry.
Golden Arches (McDonalds)
My Arch (The Best!)
Golden Dome (will keep me safe)
∴ The Trump Arch will keep me, who is America, safe. And possibly also result in me having a hamburger, but don’t say that part outloud.
Natalie! McDouble! And I have a tweet for you!
Trump on hearing news of a local fire quickly switched direction and interject that his ‘‘Magic Arch of Miracles’’ will also prevent house fires, and cure cancer, and baldness, among many other benifit.
I mean, we all agree that anything built by this clod gets torn down when he’s gone, right?
Not a bet I’d take. It took 160 years for some of the Confederate monuments to come down.
I had to read the headline three times because it’s so absurd.
Trump and ilk lie so much it’s become comedy. The only thing I’d believe from them at this point is that the ground stop was caused by a Depends diaper leak on an air traffic control keyboard.
Everything about this administration is completely ridiculous in how over-the-top stupid it is.
Lol WHAT.
Who in their right mind…?
Nevermind. No MAGA is in their right mind. Of all the ludicrous ideas, this is pants-on-head stupid.
It’s a long list
The list is long. Dirac Angestun Gesept.
Makes flights less safe and it’s a huge waste of money, for his ego vanity projects. Don’t help people, just waste more taxes and go more in debt, fool.
OMFG
