General Atomics, the company that builds the electromagnetic aircraft launch system for the Ford-class carriers, said Trump’s decision to revert to steam “warrants careful reconsideration”. The company told the Journal its work on the new ship is nearly 50% complete and “changing course now would introduce significant cost, schedule, and integration risks”.
Senator Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat and a former astronaut, was more blunt in his reaction to the news.
“I’ve launched off the front of aircraft carriers hundreds of times, have a Master’s degree in aeronautical engineering, and am a test pilot and even I wouldn’t suggest to the Navy how to engineer specific systems on its ships,” Kelly wrote on social media. “Donald Trump should stick to what he knows best – ballrooms, bankruptcy, and bullshit.”
Retarded is the perfect way to discribe everything about this. I don’t care that some may find it offensive on behalf of some other people. The people who voted for the criminal rapist, fraudster and pedophile are fucking retarded.
The fight against that word has always been stupid. Calling someone stupid or a moron or an idiot is literally the same as calling someone retarded, but we’re okay with all those words. “OH but saying retarded is worse”, by what metric? You’re still saying the person is mentally deficient. That they’re incapable of performing basic thought processes and tasks.
I have never once heard someone with those problems say that they felt any of those words hurt less.
