Damnit. I hate when my local city government's finances are too fucked to pay the energy bill, but still have money for military weapons procurement.

Wait a minute....local city governments are able to purchase air launched cruise missiles and anti-tank weapons?!?! And they can export them to?!?!

Dude I think you might be onto something, that is pretty wild...makes you wonder what the dog catcher is really up to... probably moonlights with gig economy wetwork.

If only they budget in some courage. There were 400 cops at Uvalde. Not to be a tough guy, but its part of their job.

The Birmingham WMD industry is second only to Russia, which is, has always been, and will always be, number one in everything. Do not piss on the nationalist propaganda parade.
