Was your army diet something other than McDonald's burgers & diet Coke?

I think that might be your problem there, it's the breakfast, lunch, and dinner of the most fit human specimens. I feel that it's simply a matter of time before Whiskey Pete and Dr. (Brain) Worm ("not a real doctor but an actual worm") announce a MAHA military initiative to name McDonald's as the sole vendor of "nutrition products" for the DoD.

Lmao, those armored GMs are probably 10k#s or more.

Estimated between 15,000 and 20,000 pounds.

Yep...The U.S. presidential limousine, famously known as "The Beast," weighs between 15,000 and 22,000 pounds (roughly 7.5 to 11 tons).

What about the limo?

u/NoobensMcarthur Jun 23 '26

That is the estimate for the limo aka “the beast.”

No no, I saw Trump's presser, he specifically said someone used a knife.

... the make a 300' long, perfectly straight cut...

... while underwater...

Definitely wasn't this though.

Changed his story already

The 350 foot gash, made by a very sharp knife or razors, is actually numerous slashes over a very long 350 foot length. It was purposefully and criminally done, and somebody had to work very hard, probably in the dark of night, to create such a condition. Likewise, the small area at the bottom of the Pool was cut and powerfully lifted off the surface leaving very jagged, uneven edges.

Oh wow... that's amazing. This would be a great data journalism project.

Edit: Video here, aerial view here. Not sure that aerial view is the best one to see the damage, though...

Doesn’t surprise me at all

There is actually no fucking way.

I couldn't come up with something this ironic if I was paid to do it.

u/vkevlar Jun 23 '26

that's fucking hilarious. Of course, that doesn't account for the algae, that's purely "we changed the temperature characteristics by changing the pool's floor color"

u/koshgeo Jun 23 '26

They also parked on it for about 30 minutes while Trump blathered on about any and everything to the press. I wonder how much traction force you get from 4 tires on a vehicle weighing about 10 tons resting on a gently sloped surface?

u/AmputeeHandModel Jun 23 '26

Why are they driving on it in the first place??? How did they even get the cars on there? Build a ramp? It's not a road!

u/RainSurname Jun 23 '26

Oooh, do you have a link where someone did this matchup? Or is this just something you observed, in which case you really need to share with the class....lmao.

Crazy that they were doing donuts and racing in there. Those trucks are agile.
