#1 Perfect metaphor for old hair plug's presidency.

#3 Knee-jerk attempt to gain muzzie votes. Failure constantly follows these people.

#7 That pier is just another metaphor for the decline and fall of this republic.

That doesn't make any sense; we can get that on a Kansas pond.

OK it does make sense.

#12 I thought I read yesterday they were gonna haul it away and repair it, then float it back in.

Rinse and repeat, indeed!

#14 Kinda reminds me of Jimmuh Carter's hostage rescue attempt in Iran back in 1979. It's the epitome of incompetent leadership.

#16 The piers have worked before but the sea state in this unprotected bay made this outcome inevitable. It is as if they held a brainstorming session absent of anyone who knew anything. It’s sort of a hallmark of OBiden problem solving.

#17 This is what happens when idiot politicians say jump and politicized military officials slobber and ask "how high?"

#22 Landing Ship Tanks might have served the purpose without any worries about three foot waves. Don't they make these anymore?

#26 Was joking with me local loafers about running a few million cans of pork-and-beans in at high tide in a breaker-bound hulk and letting the Pals Robinson Crusoe it. Little did I know it was, relatively, a flash of logistical genius. Gawd help us.
