Anything genuine, decent, high-minded and honorable grates across his sensitive, prickly, toxic mucus-secreting skin.

Just kidding.

WAS HE TALKING ABOUT????

And the rubes behind him think this is a great leader?? A "stable genius"??????
How stupid are these idiots?

VERY!!!

This country is INFESTED with imbeciles...

or a cardboard bucket.

We tend to focus on the News Hog Liar King because, well, if news coverage was toilet paper he'd be wrapped up in it like a mummy.

We need to see the heroes. We need to be reminded that there's lots of good in the world. Spectacular good in the every day acts of kind people and good leaders.
Amazing humans willing to give it all they've got because good matters.
We need to highlight the encouragers, the healers, the ones who make us laugh and the ones who warm our hearts. There are millions and millions of fantastic human beings going about their lives making the world better just for being here.

We don't know what tomorrow will bring. Even in the best of times, we don't really know. I want to live every day as a true human being, not a cheap imposter whose agenda is to make people believe that down is up and up is down. Being good at gaslighting doesn't make him an expert at anything else.

This too shall pass. We will pay a price. But it will pass. Look for the good.

Good name for trump - News Hog Liar King. That's certainly what he is.

Appreciate your thoughts. You make a valid point. With trump around it's hard to focus on the good, and we do need to remember there still is good in the world.

Truly happy to have found DU.

I'd be delighted.

...the man who drops his open umbrella at the door of Air Force One to let somebody else come back out, pick up, close, and bring inside.

I'm trying to envision one time in the life of Donald Trump, the man who ordered Capt. Crozier fired, when he's washed off even one of his own dishes.
Much less anybody else's.
Much less subordinates'.
And I'm gettin nothing.

...that umbrella was a Democrat trying to make him look bad.

Several commanders had come out to work my checkpoint (I was a Sgt) so their underlings could celebrate New Years. It was fun!

That must have been an interesting evening.

I served on a destroyer and a guided missile frigate. I never saw the Captain of either ship washing dishes, and if one of them had, the whole crew would have heard about it.

I seem to remember the Eisenhower captain working the line for sure when I was stationed on board.

Never thought we’d get worse then him.

While in no way diminishing Captain Crozier's dedication to his crew, it is not unusual for senior ranks to take over menial tasks on holidays, serving the junior ranks

Which carrier did you serve on?

Me, Midway and Kitty Hawk.

Unlike the shit heads in the admin.

Yet we have posters here saying not all repukes are bad. As if we need to ignore their actions AND listen to the claim how patriotic and moral they are.

it was in a bookstore (college textbook, so large) and what I really remember is that if someone like the janitor didn't show up, he'd go in and clean the bathrooms himself. No job was beneath him if it needed doing. He set a great example (he'd grown up poor on a farm and was the first in his family to go to college, etc., and worked his way up from his college job).

So if that's the way Captain Crozier was, I can totally understand the way the crew reacted - and how they must have felt betrayed, too.

That, and I want an aircraft carrier put to sea with his name on it. All of this to happen, once we have something other than a piece of shit for a president.

We must NEVER name anything after trump. Except for maybe a prison or a trash/toxic clean-up dump or a landfill.

It doesn't devote chapters to individual people, of course. But if it did....

...that someone will start a fundraising drive to put together the $45,000 it will cost to rename the San Francisco sewage plant for Trump.

Or twenty . . .

... that could ever be named after trump would be a garbage scow.

or rename one of the Fukushima reactors for him? "The tRump Memorial Radioactive Reactor/Dump."

Or, to follow your examples, how about a prison garbage landfill?

There is no one who deserves it more.

The commander every service member hopes to have.

sir.

to his post (as long as the Captain wants it), if Biden is elected.

Drumpf has been absolutely horrible to the military and there is a lot of inroads for Biden to make there.

But they are also fiercely loyal. Trump has shit all over the military, and this is a great opportunity to win their hearts.

It's obvious Captain Crozier is good people.

This here, is the difference between inspiring loyalty (Capt. Crozier), and demanding loyalty (tRump).

You just know that the men and women under Crozier's command will follow him anywhere into battle. Trump's sycophants turn State's witnesses when the walls begin to close in.

Apologies if someone else pointed this out already. I didn't read the whole thread;

It's stupid to think that being accommodating would help build morale on a ship of 5,000 sailors.
What a loser!
Oh, and.
Captain has his heart & head in the right place!

mind shriveled up decades ago!

That is also how you earn respect from others. This man is a hero in more ways than one.

They feel they serve with a true leader.

...it is typical for "leadership" to serve the crew Thanksgiving dinner. Or Christmas dinner. So, yea, it's cool and for sure appreciated by his crew, but I doubt the send off he received by his crew had anything to do with serving a holiday dinner. Only exceptional leadership gets you that.

Although everyone on the flight deck busts their ass and every job is inherently dangerous the green shirts have the real grunt work IMO.
