Yesterday, Vice President Pence put on a maddening six-minute display of obfuscation that will guarantee him, upon retirement, an immediate and unanimous selection into the Toady Hall of Fame. Here's my piece ridiculing him. #TrumpPressBriefing https://t.co/7kyiQc4SBF— Al Franken (@alfranken) April 2, 2020
My brother, who is on this ship, said the commander sacrificed his career for the sailor. He had tried everything to get the attention of the administration for help to no avail. He had to write that letter, otherwise 5000 sailors would have been infected with #COVIDć¼19

On MSNBC. BRIAN WILLIAMS. Thursday 2 April. 11pm ET. ACTING NAVY SEC firing of commander US ROOSEVELT. Terrible signal to the Fleet. Not getting that crew off the ship fast would have been a disaster.

A Navy SEAL who murdered Afghan children was pardoned by Trump and allowed to retire with his trident pin. A Navy aircraft carrier commander who did everything in his power to protect the 4000 sailors under his command will be relieved of duty
I'm not sure how anyone could expect Captain Crozier to "respect" the chain-of-command when the chain-of-command was indifferent to the welfare of the people whose lives he was entrusted with.— PĆ© (@4everNeverTrump) April 2, 2020
KUSHNER APPEARS TO BREAK LAW RUNNING CAMPAIGN FROM WHITE HOUSE

He should have shot a couple of helpless teenage girls and then desecrated a corpse, that’s what @realDonaldTrump really values in a sailor

Correct. So why isn’t this happening? Another reminder: - No nationalization of medical manufacturing - No takeover of of the supply chain - No national stay at home plan - No national quarantine plan Just press conferences.

This is wild. The Navy isn’t accepting people with Covid19 onto the ship, and “is also refusing to treat a host of other conditions. Guidelines disseminated to hospitals included a list of 49 medical conditions that would exclude a patient from admittance”

Thread: My active duty friends reading my posts on Crozier, and one just sent me this, which is haunting me: "Everyone is talking about this today. These flag officers will be defined by their actions over the past 3 weeks and over the next 4. Someone needs to raise the alarm
... like Crozier did because these generals are paralyzed.— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) April 3, 2020
And we are changing nothing.
We are still shooting the rifle range & running physical fitness tests. Barber shops are still open.
Nothing is going to change until we have a dead active duty service member. Watch." /2
Some have moved out of homes &are bunking together so they don't bring anything home to families (which is hard on families but better than alternative). /4— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) April 3, 2020
... Nothing is changing and we get guidance like that šš¼and then an email later we get told to take this virus shit seriously and get grilled about why so many people are at work. Not kidding." /6— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) April 3, 2020
Now I’m not saying I know WHO installed him but you look at everyone enriching themselves in this crisis and you realize nationality is irrelevant - lot of ghouls masquerading as Americans.

This will not end well for Jared. His past efforts have resulted in contempt for him. This one, with lives at stake, here in the US, will result in him becoming one of the most reviled public figures in modern memory in this country.

Today at the White House press briefing on the largest health crisis in generations, we're hearing from Jared Kushner, a presidential advisor who has no medical training and no relevant expertise, and only has his job because his wife is the president's daughter

Fifty days ago I attended a Homeland Security committee meeting about the coronavirus—and no current Trump administration public health officials bothered to show up. Now more than 5,000 Americans are dead. Their failure to swiftly act cost lives.

Listen, @jaredkushner, you greedy, self-serving grifter. You may not know this, but that federal stockpile of critical medical supplies is not YOUR stockpile. It was paid for by taxpayers and it’s the AMERICAN PEOPLE’S stockpile. Damn right it should be released to the states!
