  1. Any time they actually schedule an announcement, it is always a complete non-issue, where Trump will just bitch about Joe Biden for a while, and possibly tell some bizarre stories about Peruvian Snakes killing like a half million people a year or something.

    This is just basic stage magic, where the announcement is meant to get people to look one way, while the actual important thing happens somewhere else.

  2. I’m so tired. I’m so tired of how stupid society has to be. I’m tired of how well distractions work, and how quickly and eagerly people take the carrot.

  3. probably wants to change the name of the United States or something

  4. Another announcement that solves nothing and distracts from everything. Same cast, same theatrics, same empty calories.

  5. Same theater all over again… New announcements and new names every day, while the people end up getting the short end of the stick again. I don’t see how these characters are going to solve the real problems like inflation and bills. We’re just going in circles

  6. What …they are gonna start the trains to the camps soon?

  7. Needs a war to cover for the Epstein files. Everyone called it. Now China can buy Russian oil with no issue and Putin gets money to save his power.

  8. The Department of War is going to ramp up the warring over Christmas. Because, well, why the fuck not?

    Fuck these guys. You always need a war to distract from what they are doing over THERE!

  9. Fully expecting it to be a “we sank another TERRORIST BOAT” announcement, and nothing else. They are running of shit to make the racist base feel happy before Christmas.

  10. Non-zero chance it’s just an announcement regarding shipbuilding and a replacement for the Constellation frigate with the FF(X) program.

  11. Oh is this gonna be the “Stop talking about my best friend and his lists” war announcement?

  12. Trump thinks he is untouchable after getting the FIFA Peace Award.

  13. War will be declared at 4:30. BUT it will be with a country not already targeted. Sorry Barbados it was your time to protect Trump from the Epstein files.

  14. Anyone who says “Happy Holidays” is gonna get droned.

    > Trump will announce a new type of large warships he is calling “battleships,” according to a U.S. official and another official familiar with the discussions, marking a step toward achieving the president’s vision for a new “Golden Fleet.”

    Pay no attention to Ukraine fucking up Russia’s Black Sea fleet with drones. Battleships are (somehow) back, baby!

  16. Lol everyone here that wants to hear a war declaration is going to be disappointed.

  17. And recalling the museum Iowa class ships is about 1 month away. These ships are so obsolete that the cost to return to service would be a complete waste of money.
