Not to worry, folks. Six bankruptcies, including casinos busted out, found guilty of sexual abuse, thirty-four felony convictions, theft from a cancer charity, grifting and grafting on unprecedented scale haven't held MAGA Jesus back. Trump bless God.

They don't care.
It's not like they're paying for it.
Probably getting a kickback on the replacement.

"Mishap" is the new "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly."

Hey, what about Teapot Dome? Oh, no. Wait, the poppy boom! Yeah, that's the ticket for deflection.

But I realize for MAGAts, $240,000,000 gone poof on their watch is nothing. Wait until we get the bill for their war.

Low production rate, extremely expensive sensor packages, and it's a big ass aircraft. 130' wing span. Even a modernized U-2 is worth around $400,000,000.

The last time one was shotdown, it was 2019 and Trump was president, and it was over Iran. It was hit by an S-300 or something similar. I don't remember it making the news.

Not last time, the only time ones been shot down.

Probably because we weren't at war, and it wasn't part of an escalation which has already cost consumers twenty billion dollars in increased fuel costs.

Largest total losses per airframe from this are Predators. The -B big ones. They were used in a way you're supposed to use drones, expendably, to draw out remaining air defenses, at a cost of a mere $35 million each. ...

No sign of Predator C in the conflict.

#22 | Posted by sitzkrieg at 2026-04-18 12:33 PM

Probably because

That was a joke. It was in Time magazine.

Also, we tend to forgive people their first time making a mistake:

"There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."
