Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb in world dropped on Afghanistan

Hundreds of millions spent on killing 36 militants. Nice one America.

He said he'll blow the **** out of ISIS. Again, another election promise delivered.

"Another" election promise delivered. :pac:

Like his draining the swamp by filling his cabinet etc with billionaires?
Like his repealing and replacing Obamacare, which failed so badly that he is now just trying to threaten repealing?
Like his building a wall and making Mexico pay for it, something his own secretary of state (and oil tycoon billionaire) has said was never even discussed?
Like his Muslim ban, which he and his team are not able to get done?
Like protecting religious liberty and protect Muslims from profiling, only to immediately go after Muslims? (See what happens when you promise two directly opposing things?)
Like his promise to protect LGBT rights, only to get rid of rulings that prevented discrimination against LGBT people?
Like transparency in government, then trying (and failing) to create the most secretive government in US history?
Like improving job creation, with March only creating about half the expected jobs, mining execs saying the jobs are not coming back, and other industries like tourism beginning to falter badly?
Like his promise to make a deal immediately for 25% of the profits and approval of the Keystone pipeline, and for it to be built entirely with US steel?
Like not getting involved in regime change, and in his first 100 days trying to get involved in possibly two attempts at regime change?
Like saying he aimed to eliminate the national debt, which his team are now calling "hyperbole"
Like saying his team would have a full report on the Russian hacking within 90 days... exactly 90 days ago today?
Like having a special prosecutor and putting Hillary Clinton on trial?
Like applying tariffs to China and to label them a currency manipulator (something he seems interested in getting involved in himself, now)?
Like releasing his taxes if he won, or removing himself from all of his businesses?
Like his promise to rarely take any vacations and constantly criticising Obama taking any vacation time? He is now averaging something like 2-3 vacation days a week and has racked up $24mn in 84 days, compared with Obama's $97mn in 8 years. If Trump were to carry on at that rate for the 8 years Obama was in office , he would have spent over $810mn.
Like his promises to not profit off the presidency? You know where the vast majority of those vacations are being spent? Trump's own resorts.
Like saying he wouldn't put political donors in positions like ambassadors, only to do exactly that?
His promise to not make crazy statements as President?
His promise to give up Twitter as President?
His promise not to settle his case for fraud against the American public via Trump University?
His promise to always tell the truth?
His promise not to dodge questions?

So many kept promises I don't even know where to start!



The guy is a fraud and con man, and has been throughout his career. He has been a disaster, not just for Americans but also for the far right generally. His team's own incompetence is staggering, has played a huge role in exposing the Russian interference across numerous elections and referendums, played a role in costing Wilders in the Netherlands an election he looked to be strolling to a win in in, and has played a huge role in the wind getting knocked out of Le Pen's sails a good bit in France. In the US, a special election in Kansas caused a huge panic when the Republicans came close to losing a seat nobody ever thought would be contested, that panic is continuing over into Georgia for another seat who has an election next week, and they lost big in Illinois elections the other day including seats they have held for 100 years.

Even the seats they are managing to hold on to have needed additional funding to do so, which whittles down their funds for future elections - and they would want to pray for some big turnaround on that front come 2018. Something like... a war, maybe. A mutual benefit between them and Trump to try and shift attention from the most inept, comical disaster of a start to a presidency the US has probably ever seen.

16 million actually. Also one of IS' main bases in afghanistan completely destroyed, god only knows how much stockpiled weapons/bombs/bombmaking equipment and supplies destroyed with no us troop casualties, fairly successful mission overall.

That's the cost of the physical bomb minus absolutely everything else involved with producing it.
