> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > The Internet is trying to figure out what “Remember sailor!” means. I’m guessing it’s a reference to the [Sailor](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/aug/20/us-navy-sailor-jailed-for-taking-photos-of-classified-areas-of-nuclear-submarine) who went to jail for taking classified photos of a submarine. It’s a story I heard regularly whenever people (correctly) pointed out that people don’t go to jail for mishandling email communications, as Hillary Clinton did. The anti-Clinton crowd would regularly point to this guy as somebody who did go to jail for improper actions regarding classified information; in his case, he had photos of the command console of a nuclear sub (a highly classified area) on his phone, with no plausible reason why. In Trump’s feeble mind, this is a reference to “mishandle classified material = go to jail.” Like a third rate dictator, he’s trying to threaten the former head of the FBI with imprisonment. ---

Hey, Donald, maybe you should see if he left any butthurt-numbing pills in the medicine cabinet: > [@Trumpelthinskin](#): > > Allegations made by Senator Jon Tester against Admiral/Doctor Ron Jackson are proving false. The Secret Service is unable to confirm (in fact they deny) any of the phony Democrat charges which have absolutely devastated the wonderful Jackson family. Tester should resign.

Admiral Jackson is the kind of man that those in Montana would most respect and admire, and now, for no reason whatsoever, his reputation has been shattered. Not fair, Tester! ---
