The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

Also she may have read it to him personally, all at once, or, more probably in stages given his short attention span.

After she gave it to him, she likely took it back and read it to him. With tears in her eyes. (Thanks, @Gyrate !)

I was being polite. I assure you I could describe her in terms so misogynistic and crude I’d get a warning, even here in the Pit. But instead I will link to this article. I don’t know if this site is a pure gossip rag or not but the pictures speak for themselves.

Or like what one of Manson’s “family” would have written to him.

No doubt it’s been mentioned somewhere on the Dope, but: Harp’s brother said she’d been searching for a ‘daddy to worship’ for a while before she found Trump.

This reminds me of the “gold Samsung phone” scene in Ocean’s 13 (a very funny movie for these trying times, too!)

She could have stopped walking long enough for the interview. It’s not like she’s going to do anything useful when she gets to where she was going,

So now they want to replace an honored hero of Pearl Harbor with a modern draft dodger in naming a new aircraft carrier!

From Why the Navy Shouldn’t Rename the USS Doris Miller for Trump | National Review

That is, at least for now, because the U.S. Navy has apparently discussed renaming the Doris Miller the USS Donald J. Trump. Read on.

Navy leadership is discussing renaming a Navy aircraft carrier after President Donald Trump, according to two U.S. officials.

The ship, which is still under construction, has been set to be named the USS Doris Miller in honor of an enlisted sailor who famously staffed an anti-aircraft gun during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, during World War II despite not having been trained on the weapon. Miller, a mess attendant, grabbed the gun during the attack and is credited with shooting down at least one Japanese plane and dragging wounded U.S. sailors to safety.

The next U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to be built, which would presumably have the hull number CVN-84, could be named the USS Donald J. Trump with minimal controversy, or at least as little controversy as anything involving Trump could have. That ship would probably be commissioned in 2038 or so; Trump would be 92 years old by then.

Withdrawing the name of the USS Doris Miller is such a terrible idea that it’s hard to believe anyone with any responsibility ever seriously proposed or discussed it.

I did laugh at a couple of comments in the story:

The USS Jimmy Carter is a fast-attack submarine; it can descend rapidly, much like its namesake’s approval rating.

Anyway, there is apparently a push to award Doris Miller with a Medal of Honor.

From The Unforeseen Legacy of Doris… | National Museum of the Pacific War

On Sunday 7 December 1941, Mess Attendant Third Class Doris Miller was retrieving laundry when the Japanese bombs fell on Pearl Harbor. He arrived on deck, where he encountered his mortally wounded commanding officer and carried him to safety. He proceeded to one of the machine guns and although black sailors never received training on the anti-aircraft guns, he opened fire on the Japanese planes overhead. After the gun ran out of ammunition, Miller assisted in evacuating sailors after the order to abandon ship and was one of the last three men to leave the vessel as it sank. Even after leaving the ship, he helped numerous sailors to safety.

Doris Miller’s heroic actions stirred the nation, but he was not formally identified or recognized for his role in saving lives at Pearl Harbor for a few months. Accounts circulated about an unnamed black sailor who had manned a machine gun despite never firing a gun before, but it wasn’t until March 1942 that the Pittsburgh Courier identified the sailor as Doris Miller. Still, debates in the political spheres stalled any formal recognition or award for Miller’s actions. In May of 1942, Miller was presented with the Navy Cross by Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet and Pacific Ocean Areas, making Miller the first black sailor to receive such an honor. Miller’s image was used for recruitment posters, and he was even recalled to the United States for a war bonds tour before returning to active service in the Pacific.

Doris Miller continued to serve in the Navy as a mess attendant until 24 November 1943, when his carrier, USS Liscome Bay, was hit by a torpedo during the Gilbert Islands Campaign and its bomb magazine exploded, and most of the crew were killed. Miller was “presumed dead” and although his body was never recovered, he was declared killed in action after a year. Miller was 24 years old.

Mess Attendant First Class Doris Miller left behind a legacy that impacted generations to come. His actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor alone saved numerous lives, risking his own to ensure the safety of sailors escaping sinking ships and perilous waters and Japanese fire. In April 1942, even before Miller was officially awarded the Navy Cross for his deeds, Secretary of the Navy William Franklin Knox announced the opening of an all-black naval training base in Illinois, ceding to the call for increased equal rights among black recruits. Miller’s presence and talks during his 1942-43 war bonds tour incited a tremendous reaction and inspired new sailors, particularly African Americans, to “take advantage of their opportunities” and serve their country for the freedom of all.

We need more heroes like Doris Miller and fewer draft dodgers like Trump.

I really hope that when we see things like “The Navy weighs…” or “The Navy is discussing…” the latest Trump nonsense, what’s really happening is they’re saying “Yeah, we’ll get riiiight on that…”, while they quietly shove the papers with the request into the trash, and try to look busy…

“Hospitals are now doing reverse surgery, at my order”

“All voters must show photovader”

“[Karoline Leavitt] loves her baby more than she loves Donald Trump, and I’m very angry with her:”

“It’s a Friday night. What the hell else do I have to do? Go back and bomb Iran a little bit more?”

“The state of Nevada, where everybody is a waitress, caddy, or waiter”

“Unfortunately we have a little rule and regulation that says you’re not allowed to run. If they’d like to change that, I’d be very happy.”

It’s not like the object of her adoration is going to anything useful either.

Top court caves to the convict

And the editor’s gone.

And what did he do?

So, yet again, the felon in the oval has found a law to break.

Some pubbies in office are finally tired of the nonsense from the felon in the oval.

Another criminal pardoned by the sex offender is a sex offender (allegeedly).

Remember the felon’s uproar over “86 47”? Check out the stunt the top lawyer at the DHS pulled.

And to nobody’s surprise.

The felon’s transportation secretary fears his daughter will be educated.

He’s the secrtary of w…hat TF did he just say?

Felon in the Oval’s tarrifs make a profit break even put the governmet in the hole.

Politician from 51st state Canada tells it like it is. (The bolding is mine.)

Liar whines about being called a liar.

DHS caught in its own Big Lie about elections.

Court rules yet another felon’s appointee is unlawfully in office.

Felon in the Oval cannot withhold disaser relief funding because he doesn’t like the recipients’ political positions.

This is appalling.

The US government declared the place is too dangerous to even land an airplane. So they’re sending people who fled the violence right back there after magically making them in violation of law.

And just for more fun from the felon’s flacks, not all of the deportees are Haitian.

Finally, we have more reactions to the bigot-in-chief’s dysadministration disrespecting an actual war hero.

Photovaders will be worn on the outside so we can check.

“I find your lack of ID… disturbing.”

I posted this over in the thread about the USS Abraham Lincoln, but it fits here too:

Ok. What is this word supposed to be?

My guess is the dementia-induced aphasia kicked in while he was trying to say “photo voter ID”.

Yikes.

I’ve got an orgone photovader
It makes me feel greater
I’ll see you sometime later
When I’m through with my photovader
It’s a back brain stimulater
A cerebral vibrator
Of orgones

I’m the operator
With my pocket calculator

Way to insult a large part of your base. I thought he loved the poorly educated. LOL.
