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.”

    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.

        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.
