So. fucking. sick. of military jet flyovers before the college game day [View all]

Scared the bejeezus out of my cat. They're right over my house.

Where the hell is MUSK AND DOGE????

How is this not government waste to spend millions of dollars for jets to burn tons of jet fuel to fly over every college town for a coupla days? The most bloated government department needs MORE money for pilots to practice?

It is bullshit now and it was bullshit under any Dem leadership.
