NOT TOO GOOD.
Biden’s Gaza “Pier to Nowhere” a Disaster and National Embarrassment, Breaks Apart
“This is a larger issue than anything happening in that impossible corner of the globe. Over the weekend, we saw yet more indications of an empire in decline deteriorating from bad to pathetic”
“From bad to pathetic.” Yeah, that’s about the size of it, I’d have to say. Pathetic Pedaux Jaux to attempt to retrieve his “pResidential” legacy by declaring war on Israel in 5…4…3…2…
To sum up, then:
- While the stupid thing was under construction, Hamas launched mortars at it
- None of the “aid” for supposed “innocent civilians” in Gaza—none of whom actually, y’know, exist—has reached its intended recipients, thanks to Hamas stealing every last ounce of it
- Then, the whole ill-conceived mishegoss was brought to a screeching, smoking halt when perfectly normal weather and sea states caused a great chunk of it to tear away and float off
- THEN, the pathetically-incompetent US Army—for some unfathomable reason in charge of what clearly should have been a Navy mission—ran several ships aground trying to retrieve the remains of the silly thing
And now, as if all that clownish half-assery wasn’t enough, this:
Biden’s Gaza pier is sinking into the sea… very few supplies delivered and $320 million in US tax dollars down the drain…
What’s happening to Biden’s Gaza project really puts a spin on “pier pressure.” It’s clear that the Biden administration could give the Keystone Cops a run for their money. It seems everything these bumbling nitwits touch turns to absolute disaster, and the Biden “Gaza Pier” is no exception. Social media is buzzing with photos and videos of the pier seemingly sinking into the sea.
Know who benefits most from this plethora of stumbling, bumbling, and boobishness, though? Jimmeh Peanuthead, that’s who. With this riotously funny shitshow, Bribem has easily supplanted Carter as the by-God worst “pResident” of all time.

Don’t be so hasty.
Suppose TPTB wrote the specs, or simply gave orders, to do a half-assed job certain to fail.
Now the U.S. gets props for being even-handed, and trying, but the failure gives us an out:
“Hey, sorry, we tried. Too bad, so sad. B’Bye.”
Now we’re off the hook for good, instead of tied to funding both sides of a war that should have seen carpet-napalming of the entire Gaza Strip on Day One.
So in return for squandering a measly $320M one time, most of which is kicked back to American jobs, materials, and companies (who kick a non-zero portion back to their crony congressweasels, like happens since ever), we duck a permanent $1B endless annual commitment forever. Stepping on a nail, versus a perpetually bleeding @$$hole.
This could be the cheapest fix ever in the long run, and it’s just barely possible that the idiots at State and the Pentagon learned the right lessons from the galactically stupid effort in 1983 to save the PLO from Israel.
This could be the most genius foreign policy move in our lifetimes: sprinkle a little money on something, fuck it up royally, and then excuse ourselves forever.
It could catch on, and get us out of centuries-old squabbles anywhere in the world for less money than we waste on welfare queens in a month.
In what world would Joetato Admin and State be thinking like this?
The one where neither one was responsible for the boots-on-the-ground building of the pier in question.
Rule One in the dotMil when given a jackassical order: follow it to the letter, and let the magnitude of the fuck-up become apparent to Stevie Wonder from space.
Harry Truman used to get out of doing things he didn’t want to do around the house by doing them on Sunday. It’d make Bess think he was breaking the Sabbath, and she’d never ask him to do them again.
Same principle: insolent obedience.
Some Corp Of Engineers general or Seabee admiral realizes that in order to win, he’s got to screw the pooch so hard it makes dogs howl around the world.
Problem solved. no more requests for stupid projects in pointless interventions.
Imagine if the first guys sent to Vietnam had screwed up the airfield at Tan Son Nhut. They could have saved billions of dollars and 58,000-odd lives.
Simply, Nah.
The current cabal are supporters of ME terrorists.
They’re also not the ones who built the pier. 😉
All monkeywrenching requires is a monkey, and a wrench.
