Add a couple battleships to the carrier groups. What's the big deal? They'll be defended and carrier groups can have a couple cool guns they didn't have before.

Bam! Solved it. Someone write a long, interesting post telling me why I am right/wrong. They are very informative and fun.
Build an ultra mega battleship with a full size international airport on it.
 
What do you think the feds spend money on? The budget is almost entirely welfare.
Alright I take your point if we are calling Medicare and Social Security welfare but the people "abusing" those arent nogs, thats the damn boomers

That dark blue is almost 99% social security benifits

Look how small Hud is. I agree with you its just I think blaming the nogs is what they want
 
I love your post so much, I dont mean that in a condescending way, alot of people just assume their government has their best intrest at heart and can be trusted and the awaking that its the opposite can be jarring to say the least

Yes my friend that is alot for context 20,000 people is equal to

2x German Panzer Divisions in 1939

Just under 1/4th of the secret town the government made in ww2 to made city destroying bombs

Just a little under the total amount of people who have EVER played in the NFL

So yea its alot of people
Cool stats (unironicly) but I think he meant it in the "Is that a lot of people (in excess for the govement at our size)?" And if so it's a fair question, the education system teaches fuck all about how the government works outside of the three major branches.

historically the battleships protected the carriers! They were big enough to be loaded down with every type of AAA invented. they could throw TONS of lead into the sky each minute and establish a barrier that any plane could not fly through in one piece. in theory, it would work just as well against anti-ship missiles. observe the amount of fire the North Carolina is putting up in this video. the Iowa class and the proposed Montana class had even more AAA

 
It's the perfect place for a haunted house.
It's got Ghosts. it's got Ghouls, it's got Mummies, zombies, killer clowns. All it needs is a giant spider and mirror funhouse room.
They should replace the statues in Statuary Hall with animatronics, and have them follow you around weeping angel style when you're not looking.

Semi-unrelated, but the best battleship that ever served this fine nation was certainly the USS Missouri. Yes, I am biased. No, I won't be accepting any rebuttals.

The ship has had a very long and impressive service record, but of note is the fact that the Japanese surrender was signed aboard it, officially ending WWII.

They’ll never let welfare be cut off, there would be riots unlike anything ever seen before.
Look into the history of it, when gibs get cut off there’s blood in the streets.
Welfare is a ransom payment, that’s just what it is.
Let them riot. They only burn down their own neighborhoods and loot luxury baubles that aren't really worth anything.

Trump built his coalition around the idea that welfare programs, like Medicare and Social Security, are popular among his base. This is evident, as those programs are favored by elderly white people, especially those living in Florida. The goal of Trump, and at least the Republicans, is to address fraud and waste, and to disincentivize illegal immigrants from accessing these benefits. They also propose funding these programs directly through economic growth or tariffs. However, the math doesn't add up, and structural reforms will be necessary for these programs to survive. The issue is that Washington only acts when a crisis becomes too significant to ignore.
 
Oh man, shutting the government just long enough for the layoffs to go through would be a hilarious own goal for Democrats. Not as bad as the sombrero thing, but bad.

This jap kamikaze hit the Missouri during the war but the ships armor was so strong that the huge explosion from the plane's explosive cargo put a little dent in the the hull. you can still see the dent today.
