I propose a new metric for measuring the value of military aid, more practical than using dollar values: MDEV, or Maximal Dorito Equivalent Value. This is 784 Doritos worth of air defense.

@Manofthebeebol3 @Lucineh_K This is the average Egyptian pocket.

@Lucineh_K You're the omnilucineh. All Lucines are a hive mind.

@hedgehog_grumpy @BrianJBerletic Half agreed with Brian. What will likely end up happening, once the rational actors get a handle on it, is moving it into other departments where it can be treated more like black projects. That said, doge strikes me as more ideologically driven incompetence than malice.

@pplsartofwar BUT AT WHAT COST!!!????!!!eleven

The Intercept glowing in the dark is certainly one of the less surprising USAID revelations.

@biff_sports @CanadianPolling Thanks. That's a huge shift in public sentiment, this is good.

@hubertlepicki @JChengWSJ What would they do instead, actively intervene in America dismantling its instruments of hegemony?

@wasphyxiation The hell is this abomination?

@daily_romania Glowies gotta glow.

@Hya_cin_thus @Pontifex What makes you think he hasn't? Here's one such instance, you can look for others. It's almost like people get pissy about the pope being the pope and saying pope things, under specific circumstances.

@RussianCivilWar Is the bunker (Hoxhahouse) bubble anywhere near popping?

@EdKrassen Glad to see the president tackling the most significant threats of our time, shitty straws that no one uses.
