46. Jesus Fucking Christ! The fucking WASP doesn't even have catapults

It's a fucking LHD and carries USMC Harriers and Helicopters... plus a Marine Expeditionary Unit.

This fucking embarrassing POS must be fucking impeached, tried for tax evasion, money laundering, fraud and misappropriation of funds, and jailed for the rest of his miserable fucking life.

His fucking DNA ought to be captured and anyone with even a fucking microscopic link to his fucking genes should be exiled to a deserted island in the South Pacific.

My fucking God!!! America will NEVER recover from this embarrassing shitshow!
