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.”
While simultaneously he shits on that one boat with an unreasonable duration at sea, he steals the glory of an actual solier, and still finds a way to stroke his own ego while he’s at it. Not to mention the cost at tax payers expense of whatever bureaucratic ripples this sends out.
He’s going to die. They’re going to uncover truly horrific things of unprecedented scope, and then to save face they’re going to paint him as some sort of mastermind. I’m going to have to grow old and die myself as they contort Turnip’s career as some sort of Machiavellian genius, when in fact he has all the nuances of a screeching adolescentwith a negative kill ratio on counter strike. They will build the myth to preserve the institution, but I’ll never forget how brazen and clumsy he was or how complicit are the people warming themselves on the flaming wreckage he leaves in his wake.
I’ve long now made the point that although I knew fascism would come with a flag in one hand and a bible in the other, and in our lifetimes, I never dreamed it would be so fucking stupid.
I imagined more calculating and rational evil leaders. After seeing this, now I am starting to wonder if like hitler and stalin were also a lot dumber than I give them credit for.
Stalin got his start in the bolshevik party as a fundraiser. He robbed banks. Not with a stick up, not with safe cracking. He would roll up with a team, throw some grenades into the building, run in as the dust settled, grab the cash, then throw grenades around dthr Street the cover the getaway.
Stalin was a crazy dumbass willing to kill dozens of innocents for money.
Hitler was an Incel. His college roommate told the world about how he obsessed over a young woman for months, said they were fated to be together, but never got the courage to speak to her.
He carried a horsehip everywhere and hit people that passed him off.
He made people call him “Herr wulf” (Mr wolf) as a badass nickname. This is why his bunker in Berlin was called the wolf’s lair.
They were absolutely fucking stupid.

Ha ha ha, I will have to check it out thanks.
Still though, our guy is dumber, but maybe just because he’s a decrepit old dotard.
Side note as to the horsewhipping on the street, reminds me of Ivan the Terrible, Russia’s old Tsar. He used to go on the streets in plainclothes and cut peoples’ beards off just for the lulz. Forget what year he was.
The young woman Hitler stallked didn’t know he existed. She found out about the crush decades later. He thought she was secretly communicating her love for him via qanon esqe codes like the color of her scarf or where she stopped to eat a pastry.
He was a complete incel buffoon, (obviously not later with Eva Braun, but as a young man) and part of reason he was declared chancellor was they thought he couldn’t do much harm.
Stupid is so much worse because it’s unpredictable
I completely agree. It’s like the main thing that bothers me about it, and the fact that people actually believe and fall for this obvious bullshit.
I mean pretty sure someone famous said that many many years ago lol

Unless you are Sinclair Lewis – then, i apologize for the retort and bravo to you, sir
I truly don’t think he is going to die.
Sure feels like it sometimes to me, it’s like whatever the opposite of a miracle is called that he made it anywhere close to 80.
He’s never going to die.
He’s the most American American.
