I'm tired of the ragebait trash on Twitter and I'm tired of "conservatives" falling for this shit.

Did you look at his list of 'pointless' expenses? Fucking notebooks are pointless in his eyes. Great, you know what, let's save lots of money. Let's tear out things like light fixtures and replace them with bare light bulbs hanging on a wire from the ceiling. Paint on the walls? Let's rip that shit off, you get plain drywall to look at. Morale items to maybe improve people's mood even just a little while they wait in reception for hours? Fuck that, cut that too. Nobody deserves that shit, of course.

He's bitching about $2/ea water bottles that had probably the logo of the clinic printed on it. That's what you all consider the 'problem' spending?

I cannot count the number of times I've seen this "BIG SCARY DOLLAR FIGURE ALL THIS MONEY WASTED" and it ends up being mostly cherry-picking bullshit. Those gummies are $5. How many trillions of tons of gummies does he think are actually being bought to fill a little dish in reception for patients waiting?

It's like the fucking drama about "government credit cards", it's a bunch of know-nothing genuine retards being angry about a system they know absolutely nothing about and don't understand how it works. And yes, that goes for any of you who read any of those clickbait Twitter posts and also got angry. If you got angry, you are genuinely stupid. You should fucking use your brain before your womanly emotional low-IQ reactions boil out. Government credit cards? Literally every dollar is accounted for and requires substantiation, receipts, and when DOGE came out with that list they never actually said any of those purchases went through, and I know they didn't, because I know that Citibank outright blocks, at the highest level, government travel cards from being able to be used at casinos and bars and smoke shops and everything else listed on there. It was a list of DECLINED charges which is why they never had a dollar figure attached to it.

Do all conservatives now just operate on a constant baseline level of borderline-psychotic brain-melting rage about every single fucking thing on the planet?

Literally earlier today was a post about "FEMA spending $800,000 for each 400 square foot tiny home!"

It was a top to bottom complete lie, of course. But fucking MAGA doesn't care. Conservatives don't care. Anything to get that endless river of purple-faced screaming rage out of your swollen amygdala. "PLEASE TELL ME MORE THINGS TO BE MAD ABOUT!"

Fucking angry at them buying fucking notebooks, lmao holy shit.

Do you guys have even the slightest idea how much you are regularly fed a river of fucking lies you just 'believe' because it makes you mad?

Remember the drama about the $800 toilet seats? Less than 25% of that story was actually true, and when retarded public rage about it came to a head, they did an investigation and found that the 'toilet seats' were 'overcharged' by like $50 each seat. They still cost several hundred dollars, because it was never actually a 'toilet seat'.

The $2000 coffee cups? Another less-than-25%-true. Heavy aircraft in the Air Force have crew accommodations on board just like a passenger aircraft, for the same reason passenger aircraft do. Part of that is having a galley so they can have refreshments on board. Part of that galley is a coffee machine. And one of those heavy aircraft is an in-flight refueling tanker that is full of plastic bags of gas strapped to the floor and make for a dangerous environment. The electronics on-board are designed to be intrinsically safe to minimize the risk of explosion if there's a vapor leak, and that included the coffee machine, and the company that made the coffee machine closed up ages ago. The coffee machines all were breaking, so they had to get a new contract to redesign and install and replace all the broken coffee machines, which means a lot of energy and time and effort into a device that only has one application: use in in-flight refueling aircraft, which means a low manufacturing run which means pricetags tend to be extremely high to recoup the cost.

There never was a $2000 "coffee cup" that was literally just a cup that holds coffee and nothing more. It was a sealed-for-flight device designed to not blow up the entire plane in the event of an emergency.

But nah, everyone just wanted to get angry, because doing things like "reading words" is too much to ask for most people. "Tell me what to get mad about in 20 words or less" is all you want.

Remember the F-35 drama about how 'terrible' it was? The primary source for all of that information was a thankfully-dead fuckface named Pierre Sprey, who never in his life touched an F-35, literally never flew a plane, wasn't in the military, never designed any aircraft, and literally his entire claim to fame was being a 'civilian consultant' sucking fat paychecks as part of the 'fighter mafia', and the 'fighter mafia' literally was a failure that never designed a successful aircraft in their entire existence, every idea they had was shot down.

But people believed that retard's dumbass nonsense that he was completely fabricating from nothing, because it made them angry, and boy do you guys love to mainline rage, no matter how fucking retarded it requires you to become to believe it.

Pretty sure I explicitly called out people like you already, because you refuse to read more than 10 words which is why your opinions end up being incredibly stupid and you fall for made up nonsense. Literally are the stereotype that conservatives are barely literate manual laboring third world tier simpletons.

It's why you fell for the nonsense about things like a $2,000 coffee cup, because it takes more than 10 words to explain why the coffee cup was $2,000, and your eyes glazed over and all you could think about was... I don't know, I'm smarter than you so I can't imagine what goes on in your head. I imagine a craving for Skoal and thinking about your truck? Maybe wondering about which negro would throw a ball harder than another negro this weekend? Or is your mind just kind of white noise? Like the "imagine an apple" experiment?

This is how anyone can tell you are a leftist.

What else could you possibly be using your brainpower for when it was too much to ask for any of you to even look at the pictures in the tweet thread where he complained about them buying basic office supplies?
