The Pentagon has marked 26,000 photos for deletion to purge evidence of diversity. The photos include the 1st black pilots in WWII, the 1st women to pass infantry training & the plane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb because it’s called the “Enola GAY”. This is real. We’re living in a horror story.

SpaceX has received over $15B in government contracts and state grants and the only thing Nazi Musk’s company has produced consistently is failed launches and high velocity explosions. This is what I’d call actual fraud and a real waste of tax dollars.
