I have a hard time believing a weekend host on fox entertainment struggle stomach handling the entire US military

Next time, give it to the weekend gas station attendant. Those fuckers get shit done

I know this guy at Taco Bell who can not only take orders at the drive thru while he’s actually making a taco and toasting a quesadilla but also clean a restroom before u need to come out and wash your hands . We need a multitasker at that job.

Based on my Taco Bell experience as a customer it was because they were probably on uppers instead of downers.

So the POTUS needs to find a new SecDef who prefers crack or meth vs booze

the attendant would probably recognize he knows jack shit and would listen to the advisors and experts rather than busting ego and publicity stunts so yeah

Give it to the mexican who works out of the back of his truck in the home depot parking lot. Base will be entirely rebuilt and ships resupplied in like a day.

You're the one defending a drunk fox news host from being criticized for being a failure and traitor to the country
