but we "can't afford" to provide free lunches at schools

US is one big ass mess under Trump. Wtf!

$60m gone in an instant, no big deal, just a school or two

That’s a lot of peoples’ rents that could have been paid.

... Into the waiting arms of a Russian sub no doubt.

Now DOGE is gonna have to starve more kids so we can afford a new plane

Good grief- if some rebels in Yemen can cause an aircraft carrier with a screening flotilla to take evasive manoeuvres what’s a near peer adversary going to do? Carriers obsolete in world of missiles and UAV?

All the best people.

(Australian accent): the jet fell off

Oops!

🤣 that's funny

All the money that the government and the military wastes while the planet dies and people starve.

anyone uh, anyone wanna go scuba diving

This is a problem and Hegseth doesn’t build more confidence. Enough already. #wtf

So Who did Trump blame for that helicopter and plane accident in Washington ?

Drunk bombing Yemen and dropping a $60 million dollar F-18 into the water seems like the best use of of money. Has Elon musk provided a response.

well at least we can't hurt anyone with it anymore

Wouldn't have happened if we still had wokeness and DEI.💅

We obviously need DEI back.

If there was one person who failed to tie it down properly then they could be paid salary for the rest of their career and never cost a tenth as much as they did that day.

I know it was technically an American plane but it wasn't born there, it had flown in so basically it was a migrant and I say deporting it off the carrier was the right thing to do.

What, like in a big gust of wind?

Where is drunk Pete?

Bring back the deep state and DEI hires ffs

DeckOops

WHAT? Are all the stupid people in charge of everything now!

We blaming this on DEI too?

👏👏👏👏

Ah, memory lane…

I’d be interested to see if this has happened before from the hangar deck. We’ve certainly lost aircraft over the side from the flight deck while traversing

Seems the captain should have known the aircraft wasn’t secured when taking evasive measures. Or the ship was in a very dangerous position that meant it was the whole aircraft carrier or one jet. The Houthis did say they were launching missiles at the ship. Why are we there?

Caused by Doge??

Since Navy ships are called “she” I’m irrationally going to claim it’s DEI.

We have submarines, the most beautiful submarines in the world. They have wings and are beautiful. The can fly and swim, not at the same time but they are beautiful.

Whoops!

DUI?

Lethal

This is a metaphor for the Trump administration

Gold.

Remind me again how successful the Yemen strike exposed on the Signal chat was??

If you can work electrocution by batteries and sharks into this, that'd be grand.

Oooo must be a trump appointee in charge

Shit happens

lol, lmao even

How many soc sec offices could be saved with $60 mil?

Somebody was Signal with Pete texting instead of paying attention.

Would have been nice to include why it fell...trying to avoid Houthi fire.

Ok. This falls on Pete, right?

Wow! That’s like ten taxpayer funded trips for the felon/rapist to one of his properties, where trump inc charges hyper-inflated rates for his staff and security to be at his property.

Putin!

Such a perfect metaphor

If they aren't falling from the sky, they're falling from carriers! DODGE should've just cut the administration & left the bureaucrats!

Penguins can swim 😁

How many planes, helicopters, rockets and fighter jets have crashed since Trump took office? #thnX tRUMP

Lmao

Wild guess Jeremy Renner was driving the tractor, didn't set the brake before getting off to do one little thing...

Ooops !

Ah yes the classic. “Wha’, dat? Uh, yeah, it a … kinda fell off da’ truck”

That’s an F-35 the cat knocked off the flight deck, not an F-18. Why was someone taking pictures at the time? Did they know the cat was going to do that?

Does this go on the Ansar Allah scoreboard too, or are we not counting own-goals?

Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't recall planes falling overboard during either Biden's or Obama's terms.

No rice for you!

Gravity sucks. Gravity on the ocean really sucks. An old sailors' adage is, "if it ever went on a boat, it's down there somewhere."

According to the report, the carrier was doing a hard turn to avoid Houthi fire, so you know they will count that as having downed a US fighter jet - in effect.

Was Whiskey Pete driving?

Reminds me of this youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM

"The Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard" An aircraft carrier made a hard turn? Ok. Not sure which is more embarrassing, a jet falling off because of Houthi fire or lying about it.

Maybe Trump isn't to blame for this, but does anyone know where JD Vance was when this happened? Killing the Pope and destroying that trophy might not have been enough for ole JD.

hegseth is new, he didnt know planes cant fly underwater. hell get it together.

This is such a bad coverup for how we're losing the war against Posieden

Oops

wtf

Well, retrace your steps. Where was the last place it fell overboard?

Someone see if the DOGE boys were onboard - sounds like something they would do

Dank that’s like all of the DOGE savings combined

Who ya gonna call? Party Pete made another boozy boo boo🙄

"Oopsie" as Bukele would say!

It was possessed by the ghost of Sen John McCain and tried to douse itself in Holy Water.

The CAG and the ship commander are toast.

This is one of those stories that smells like bullshit. There is a lot more to this than we are being told.

DOGE saves $60 million!

Another DOGE cut

Incompetence. What a waste.

That never happened when we had DEI

There are hundreds of cameras on that ship. We should see the actual occurrence. In addition, we should hear the communications audio to confirm when they knew they were a target & the commands that followed. I don’t believe for a moment that a quick maneuver is the reason a jet went overboard. BS!

This will make a new underwater exploration site!! 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

Si many jobs lost to save money for jet # SINK420..

Oopsie!

Since the current WH administration lies constantly why should I believe this is true? "A US official said that initial reports from the scene indicated that the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard."

FUBAR

You just set Hegseth off on a huge drinking jag with this news.

Sabotage?? One way to get even with the government.. I don’t know🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏼

ETTD

And his attorney 🙄

Well there’s your problem, the jet fell off.

Hegseth!!!!!!!

🫤🤷‍♀️🤔 How does that happen?!

All that hollywood propaganda making us believe the US forces were made all of Rambos and Bradocks, but the reality it is showing that they are in fact a bunch of Olivers and Hardys

warfighters gonna warfight

This happens every once in a while. Carrier deck operations are hard and dangerous at the best of times. USS Oriskany, Forrestal, and Enterprise all nearly blew themselves up in accidents. Once the A-4 that fell of the side had an atomic bomb. At least no one died this time.

That damn DEI carrier.

Fun fact. No aircraft carrier staffed by an exclusively transgender or even majority transgender crew has ever dropped an airplane into the ocean.



They let DUI Hegseth fly it?

Do we all have confidence in the chain of command these days?? Seems like everyone is on top of correct protocol and saving us a ton of money. 🙄

OOPSIE!

even the USSA Navy is now the joke of the world #lolX

Preposterous

DOGE will count this as +$60 billion

Waste, fraud & abuse!

Fell overboard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Sailors towing the aircraft took immediate action to move clear of the aircraft before it fell overboard. An investigation is underway.” I look forward to following along with the investigation on Signal.

It's just sounds so incompetent. Don't they secure these jets somehow??

Russia is checking Pete Hegseth's Signal chat for the recovery coordinates.

Now the orcas can really fuck some yachts up.
