Trump Promises Americans $5,000 Each if Republicans Win Midterms

Reading “Regime Change” this late afternoon, waiting for dinner to warm, I put it down and started re-reading “Confidence Man”. Halfway through the prologue, I knew where we are today. I’ll have another.

Almost Biblical!

Refraining from “colorful” Submariner epithets: “Trump’s name slated to replace Black war hero on aircraft carrier“

“The Navy is weighing whether to put President Donald Trump’s name on an aircraft carrier currently named after Doris Miller. CNN reported the possible switch on Thursday, noting that the Navy has effectively stopped internally referring to the ship as the USS Doris Miller. The effort to rename the USS Doris Miller has been underway since earlier this year, an anonymous source told CNN.

“Who could possibly be surprised that Donald Trump thinks that he’s more befitting an honor like this than a World War II and American war hero?” Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said during a CNN interview on Thursday. “Doris Miller, this is a man. Donald Trump is a five-time draft dodger. He’s called veterans suckers and losers. He refused to go to an American military cemetery in Europe because it was raining.”

On a positive note, if, as Trump as ordered, the ships design is changed to WWII era “Steam Catapults”, the hull redesign, lack of their manufacturing availability and cost overruns means: A. It’ll never happen & B. Ole DJT will have been long moldering!
