It's very sad that a Canadian Royal Air Force Pilot died (and someone's house got wrecked), however I think the lmao is cause these military flyovers for first responders are wildly unnecessary at best and military propaganda at worst.

The Snowbirds are hardly military propaganda. And whether or not something is necessary does not warrant laughing at this woman dying. But let's hear what the troll who posted it has to say about it.

that tweet as it's posted in the thread doesn't show that someone died. Still stupid post by Tekcop considering even if he didn't know someone died it showed someone lost their home but not that big of a deal.

The snowbirds are absolutely military propaganda. They're a way of showing off the air force in a non-threatening manner. It's a standard tactic all over the world.

That said someone just died and another person lost their home, while the people involved in the actual snowbirds themselves are well-intentioned (generally).

They also aren't examples of federal hubris and rarely cost taxpayers millions of dollars when they go. Kinda odd to say joviality in one situation is acceptable but not in the other, but that's just me.

personally i'm more bothered by the person losing their house. Also tekcop should have made a detailed post explaining why it was funny, instead of a one word post. Give us some old school wall of text.

for the record I was going to say lirl when I posted that article initially then I read the article and saw someone died and deleted that part.

But I did legit lirl at that article before I found out someone died.

IMO this is the reason why governments should stop wasting money on utterly pointless exercises. It has cost them a lot of money and now someone's life. I also would have laughed if I didn't know the guy died.

That they have money for this kind of shit, and cut government programs that help people, is like a sick joke

I believe President trump believes he is taking the drugs

Is he? I seriously doubt it. They slipped him a happy pill and told him it was the wonder drug

Those are probably the same people that think that slavery "would have eventually just gone away."

I'm pissed and sad but not surprised at how poorly a lot of the country is handling this.

There was a moment where I had a glimmer of hope that we could come together like we did in World War 2 to put aside dumb partisanship and fight for a common cause but 909 pointed out before our sense of individualism and exceptionalism is going to fuck us.

Well, Supreme Leader just called US Coronavirus cases a badge of honor

Think this was after saying Pompeo should ask people to walk his dog so he can take the call from
Kim Jong Un to ask him not to use nukes.

Brazil hits new highs.

Cuomo is now reporting that gatherings of 10 people or less in NY are fine given everyone practices social distancing. My friends are elated and already planning stuff this weekend. I'm not sure if I'll join in the festivities though. I'm still staying away from all public transportation.

I'd like to remind everyone we don't have a vaccine.
