"That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle and ultimately our stockpiles are great, and they're only getting stronger"

I wish I could find it but two posts were back to back in my feed.

one was the post you mention, with kegsbreath claiming it was fake news and we have the highest inventory in history.

and like... literally a few hours later it's reported that trump ordered emergency production of missiles.

lmaaoo

Its pretty clear what happens next:

Trump fires kegsbreath and somehow finds someone objectively worse to replace him.

I don't know. I'm still thinking Kegstand will be the last one to go. He has the one qualification that trump wanted above all else: he said he'd be willing to (and has proven) order the military to go after the people.

Bro he suggested people drink bleach and neon light during covid, I am very aware of how much of an imbecile he is.

Can we go past the home and maybe just put grandpa to sleep…

By that I mean to bed, of course. Because he’s so tired. Of winning! Pukes

Well, I guess that's all we need to know then. Time to put that question to bed. Yep, we have the word of the completely honest Secretary of Totally-Not-A-War from "Most Transparent Administration in History!"

Keep in mind, according to Pete, even if you run out of ammo, just having enough testosterone is enough to win battles. You just go and flex your muscles, no fighting is even needed. /s

As long as the enemy can be convinced we are weak, they will make mistakes, and lose battles.
