A US Navy ship captain, pleading for the well being of his crew, was fired by Trump.

[Stinky The Clown]

Capt. Brett Crozier, a 28 year veteran and Academy graduate was relieved of duty for sounding an alarm for the welfare of his crew. That's what leaders do. The crew of the Theodore Roosevelt was absolutely in danger, with about 100 cases of C-19 and climbing.

I am a Navy vet. When I was in, more than fifty years ago, quarters were cramped. While today's crew quarters are more comfortable and have a bit more privacy, they are still cramped. Social distancing is just plain impossible.

Clearing the ship is the right thing to do.

Capt. Crozier asked for help in a letter.

An excerpt of the letter found its way into a newspaper.

Team Trump relieved him of duty.





These are the very same fuckers who wrap themselves in our flag and tell us how great they are for the military.

3. Oh, there are plenty of words. But most of them would net us visits from the suits (or donnie

Death's fixers)

2. My hatred of tRump is as exponential as the viral death toll

Every day I loathe him twice as much as the day before -- because that depraved sack of shit is absolutely devoid of all humanity.

9. Ditto. That makes two of us,

joined by many others who agree.

It's frustrating as hell that we must still endure this cretin.

5. Brian Williams had a retired General on tonight who said the only reason this would have happened

was that the story managed to get to the press! The military really frowns on having their problems made public!

6. I really don't think they should have made the Danang port call

the ports in Southeast Asia were already closed to cruise ships well before that. I'm sure they had their reasons for going anyway, but it was unwise.

10. Trump 2012: "When someone attacks me, I always attack back...except 100x more.

This has nothing to do with a tirade but rather, a way of life!"
