Current Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral John M. Richardson, must be livid.

Might as well put a big freaking neon sign outside that says,

“SPECIAL OPS UNIT OPERATES HERE”

With a big arrow pointing at the base.

Add a couple of bright spotlights.

...they're all just completely disposable props to him. They exist for his own self-aggrandizement.

I almost feel sorry for the ones so blinded by celebrity that they took selfies with him. Do they not know how he treats veterans and their families? Do they not care?

Republicans WAKE UP put your Country before your fuckin job and party. We have a rogue President and a national security threat in the White House who has no clue how to keep this country safe from terrorist attacks.

The Republicans will lose badly, including trump the next election from allowing this to happen over and over again, and they do nothing. trump and the gop are the biggest national security threat this country's ever had. trump has no chance of winning again , and he knows it, and just running another con on the American people. This was nothing more than a PR event for trump to use, and use the military with.

Like **everything** 45 does, it starts with a psychotic flight of grandiosity and self-aggrandizing bumfluffery; then, when some rational pushback occurs, he lets loose with a never-ending whine about how rough he’s got it, and how another authoritarian leader XYZ, so why shouldn’t he, blah, blah, etc.; and invariably, in the end, the public is fed some twisted skeletal vestige of a crap idea that cost taxpayers some serious coin, and shouldn’t have been allowed to go as far as did.

All of which is why the entire world will be forced to witness this absurdly downscale image, a pseudo-Teutonic miniature military tableau.
