got2bereal[/url]":1ak2wont]Too bad Trump didn't get to broker these deals, whether you love or hate him. He's the best in the business when it comes to getting a better deal. Politicians simply pass on the cost to tax payers without any negotiations.

No, they don't. I mean come on, that doesn't even pass the basic smell test. The idea that politicians pass the cost on is ridiculous.

First of all, its not them who actually manage the project. Sure they'll be there for the photo op, but its Bureacrats who will do all of the work and get none of the credit. Second, except in certain sensitive fields they'll be required to put the project/item out to "Tender", which is at its core a silent-auction style process to get the prefered bidder. They'll then negociate specifics with them.... I mean none of this is secret, its on the record, you can FOI that stuff, and you'll probably read abuot the bigger ones in the newspaper...

Upon successful bootup, GOES was immediately defunded by executive order on the grounds that it was a conspiracy to prove weather exists.

Actually, this satellite coming on line will be fantastic for the Trump administration – think about how many facts they'll have to deny! It's like Alternative Fact Christmas.

This satellite launch is a Chinese conspiracy to distract the US from the fact that Trump's inauguration was the largest in history. Over 700 Million Americans were on the mall that day.



Did I 'Trump Supporter' good?

Have you considered a career as a Presidential Press Secretary? Your willingness to overlook reality is a huge plus; how do you feel about arm bands?

Edit: I failed to make clear that the above was sarcasm – I get WhyNotZoidberg's point all too well.

The Iraqi Information Minister's meme has become relevant again.

I was more reminded of one of Mugabe's spokesmen in a BBC interview about a decade back, during one of their economic crisis the BBC had reports that shop shelves were running low on items such as bread...

The spokesman responded with:

"No, those reports are nonsense. The store shelves are full of things to buy, in fact, bread is the thing there is the most of". It was as if the longer he talked, the more he just discredited himself with the extra detail offered.

Trump's guy was the same. The more he tried to get into specifics, the siller he looked.

Had he have said Trump had pulled a large crowd, he'd be correct. Even on NYT's low numbers we'd grudgingly have to atmit 150k is a lot of people.

Then when he claimed it was the most watched Innaugration, or his completely wrong metro figures, he just ended up looking deluded.
