They said “f your feelings. We want cheap gas”. Today I got gas around $4 a gallon 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I’m sure maga will blame Biden for it

Those are for the troops. Steak and lobster in the mess hall is the classic "You're going to war, bro" meal.
MrStealYourGiF
They wanted you to believe that Dems were personally pocketing billions, so when you noticed them stealing they could say "both sides"

Prison time for the Trump administration will not be adequate.

They are targeting waste, fraud, and abuse. As in, they target the people who would be guilty of it and put them in the government.

Where's my DOGE check?

How in the absolute fuck can you spend that kind of money on food..

Did the lobster dinner include a tortilla a piece of broccoli and something else?

Imagine the amount of money we could save if every MAGA lived exclusively on oatmeal.

It's really funny is all the Twitter people are saying all these Lobster Etc went to the front line troops. I called bullshit

The "money over everything" party only cares about making themselves richer. And people still vote Republican b/c, you know, of the Trans problem that does not exist.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Paid for by taxpayers.

Projection is like. The whole thing. Kinda telling they keep calling everyone pedophiles

People need to stop expecting a regime to act like an administration. This is exactly what regimes do. Steal your money to make themselves richer and make you lick their boot for a portion.
SergeyPrkl
And funniest is, Americans might be in the only country in the world where people actually want it to be so.
Autittuderp
They certainly have been conditioned for it. I think they rely on the populace to live in survival mode... executive function not accessible.

Remind me again how much money DOGE "saved" us with their hamfisted chopping?

I would need sources if anyone clamed republicans were not doing shit like this

Less sensationalist aspects of these articles will show that this spending, while breaking recent records, is not *that* out of place (not an outlier). The US military routinely wastes billions of dollars in September since much of the military budget is on a "Use it or Lose it" system. If an org was budgeted $100 mil, but only spent $80 mil, then next year they only get $80 mil because that's obv all they need. The fact that the US still budgets like this is a bigger deal than the lobster.
Leaveittojebus
Maybe if they have an extra $20 million to "use or lose", they should use it in a useful way. Give it to the army corps of engineers towards infrastructure projects like bridge repair and maintenance.
Hesterry
Thank you for making a sensible comment, and not mindlessly spreading propaganda. If people on this site want to be taken seriously when they say the "both sides" argument is bullshit, they need to stop acting like the other side...
Scahrossar
Imgur is as infested with outrage clickbait and bots as Twitter. They're just more left leaning here.

I watch Twitch streams. I've noticed small American streamers are kinda desperate, basically begging for subs if you just type anything in chat. =/

And this is the shit we know about. Imagine what will come out in the next 20 years.
cytherians
Money funneled to all sorts of "contractors," who in turn give kickbacks to Hegseth and others. I've no doubt that Hegseth is using that money for personal investment and luxury expenditures. This guy is a total grifter. And you know, if Trump hears about it, he'll smile. Because he'd do the same. It's only once there's public outrage. "He did a great job, but now he'll be doing something else."

How the fuck does crab cost that much? It all tastes like rubber, which is why u need cups of melted butter
Bastetsmorlock
Two or three million servings add up pretty quick.
cytherians
Crab and lobster are delicate, in that they can be overcooked easily. Also, if you cook it right, but then it sits on a warming plate for a long while... it turns to rubber.
jackal696
Then you haven't tasted a good cooked crab leg, probably over cooked
RenaissanceFaireMan
Must be overcooked.
turbodog
Getting served steak and lobster in the DFAC means "oh shit, BOHICA".
khora
Spending $6 per active service member on seafood doesn't sound like a splurge to me.

100% of the time, without fail.

Officers Mess, you know this isn't getting served in the Enlisted Mess Hall
threepotatoesinatrenchcoat
Austin contraire. It's just that it really sucks. Your average hour dog is 10x better than the tough steak and gray lobster they served is when I was in
11Weasel11
Takes drag from cigarette... " BOHICA, now there is something I haven't heard in years." Another drag...."almost forgot it existed."
turbodog
Back when we called it the Chow Hall.

Our steak and lobster nights were more like gristle and squishy bug nights.
turbodog
Both a disturbing shade of grey.

"Waste, fraud, and abuse" was the lie they told to get power and then take whatever they could away from everyone they could while stealing everything they could.
xj4low
It was used to destroy the parts that actually investigate the waste, fraud, and abuse.
barstr7
What they meant by "waste, fraud and abuse" was the money going to pay for things to help the country and taxpayers. That's a waste to them when they could be spending it instead. Luckily, they fixed it. Now it goes directly into slimy politicians' pockets.
Sphinctergoatface
Here i thought waste, fraud, and abuse was there motto and goals
OnyxPrimal
I figured “Waste, Fraud, Abuse” was like the plan. They were just letting people know.
rossimus
I'll give Trump this much, he understands the American people better than I ever did. I just thought too highly of them. Wayyyy too highly.
SavageDrums
There must be waste, fraud, and abuse. That's how they would run things, so everyone must do it!
SecretAgentSuperBooger
With no shame whatsoever, and apparently no fear of ever being called to task for their crimes.
allformmo34
As much as I hate that sack of shit, he won (life, not the election). He is openly every terrible thing you can think of. He has ruined every money printer he has touched. What consequences has he endured? Harsh words. What possible consequences could come. Hung upside down on the white house fence? I wish for him to be starved, shunned and thrice raped for each time he forced that on another, never allowed to die. that would be not be enough, would not satisfy.
Eyeetsass
It was waste, fraud, and abuse because it wasn’t lining their pockets. It’s hard for regular people to imagine what these assholes feel entitled to.
NickRivieraMD
It is literally whatever they can take. They will steal everything they can and pat themselves on the back thinking it demonstrates their intelligence and superiority. It's they who literally cannot grasp that most of us have no interest in playing that game because it's selfish, cruel and cowardly.
Eyeetsass
It’s labor intensive, lonely, and unrewarding. Which one of them looks happy?
NickRivieraMD
I don't think it's a recipe for joy. I'm happier being a decent person than I could be acting like that. But I don't feel sorry for them, they're choosing to cause suffering for others.
NickRivieraMD
And I disagree about it being labor intensive.

Ummm since the start of the united states. Actually, since the start of humanity. Greed really is the original sin

The subject was waste, fraud, and abuse as a trope, a right-wing talking point. Although your observation about the timelessness of greed is correct Doctor, it is scarcely news to sentient humans. You are hereby promoted.
