The Pentagon plans to dispatch the Navy's Blue Angels and the Air Force's Thunderbirds in a multi-city effort to "champion national unity" amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to defense officials and a memo I obtained today.

All I can say is, that's a lot of money that could be spent on generating more TESTS.

9. Yeah, it's going to "unite" people, alright.

They're all going to break quarantine to run outside and unite in the streets to watch. AND, SPREAD THE GODDAMN VIRUS TO EACH OTHER. Madness. Fucking madness.

3. Idiocracy, truly

They wanna rev up the damn Air and Water Show?

Save us.

4. All about "great" optics

Not much else looks like we're great again. Poor DT--an election is coming up.

8. What a fucking, goddamn waste of money. Not to mention being sheer idiocy.

And, I say that as someone who just loves watching both of these teams do their thing. How many people are going to come out of their shelters to watch this political stunt, further spreading sickness? How fucking asinine. Jeezus, it never ends.

11. Well, I guess this is better than tanks rolling down the street,

past overcrowded hospitals, to "champion strength against a tiny virus".

12. The only substantive difference is the altitude.

Same damn thing, different engine and speed.

Oh, And a jet might sound louder than an ICU alert.

14. Deadly Donald Divider wants a big show of unity? When has he ever tried to unify the nation?

New rules for COVID-19: Divided we stand, united we die.
