(6,161 posts).... and for the duration of this pandemic pull down their firewalls. It is so frustrating to try and follow up on a news story to find that you are blocked by a firewall.
How many retirees, senior citizens, out of work-family members can afford to pay for subscriptions for the key news sites.
And the option to attempt to read an article with the intrusion of dozen and dozen of ads. Useless exercise.
Sorry but that is what I think would help to keep Trump honest. FACT CHECKING.

But Trump wont stop the reinstatement. At least I cant see it. He could give a shit about the sailors but it is a PR disaster.
And again his biggest supporters will have to make a u turn. According to most posters on right wing sites the captain should be locked up in the brig and hanged for treason. I kid you not.
The Captain said if we were at war they would fight sick. As they should. But we are not at war. No reason for sailors to die and they had a 10% infection rate. Ive never served. But if they stayed at sea and more sailors got sick the effectiveness of the carriers would at some point become degraded. I would imagine that there are tons of redundancies built into the electronic and mechanical systems on a ship that size. But cant believe there is much of a crew redundancy built in. Maybe some of our veteran members will correct me.

Crozier should tell him to go fuck himself and say he'll accept reinstatement from Biden
not fooled
(5,801 posts)of course Crozier shouldn't have been relieved of that command in the first place = red don is an ass
but reinstating Crozier also makes him look like an ass for being so erratic and changeable.

(3,282 posts)any chance of him being reinstated by this White House. Trump probably sees it as a direct attack on him.
A Biden White House could install him as SECNAV though.
