this entire administration is irredeemable scum.
Article is a good read about Miller.
The choice of USS Doris Miller marked the first time an aircraft carrier would honor an enlisted sailor, and the first aircraft carrier to be named for an African American. Asked about his decision to name the carrier after Miller, Modly told CNN that it was recommended to him by a group of retired Black admirals, and that he believes “one of our most powerful warships should bear the name of a sailor like Miller to bring greater attention to what makes our Navy so unique — and great.”
I thought they aren’t named off of persons that are alive? I wonder who’s gonna win out here… T*, a racist shitbag who skated service thanks to daddy, or a black navy man.
There is precedent for naming ships after living US presidents, but in both cases, the person had been out of office for years and had served in the Navy aboard the type of ship that bears their name.
If the army ever commissions a golf cart, maybe that would be appropriate.
Or an airline catering cart
It’s okay, he’s already half dead. They renamed the JFK memorial and put his name there, so there’s already precedent for sticking his name places reserved for dead people.
lol. Sure. But that was illegal, and isn’t precedent. Maybe in his head it is.
There’s even more precedent for him doing illegal things! So it’s all fine. /s
Putting his stupid face on coinage is illegal too and it doesn’t seem to be stopping them.
Did they follow through with that 100 dollar gold coin thing then? I thought that was from his first term even I forget but didn’t know they actually did it.
I think I recall one of his companies made like non us currency coins with his stupid face purportedly of gold, that they were hawking back then on infomercials. Classy as always.
Who can even tell, honestly? I know I saw some stuff about them discussing it within the last couple weeks but at this point I can’t tell what’s just idle bullshit versus what they’re actually doing.
