This hero, Chappie James, died two days before I was born. He was a Republican and widely considered to be a potential VP to Reagan. He was black, and one of the first things Hegseth did was remove his picture.

Can we please start calling these arseholes what they are - WHITE SUPREMICISTS. Stop with the white nationalism. That implies they only wanna be in charge in this country. Let us be clear they want to purge this country of anyone who is not like them or remove the rights of anyone who’s left.

Add this insult to the list: “The U.S. Navy is considering renaming an under-construction aircraft carrier after President Donald Trump, potentially reversing a decision from Trump’s first term to name the vessel after World War II Black naval hero Doris Miller.”

Instead of DEI, it’s SIE with these racist, ignorant fucks: Sameness, Inequity, Exclusion. How is that better in any way, shape or form? Since these anti-DEI bozos took office this government & this country has been a massive, colossal, humongous, galactic, shit show of incompetence & fecklessness.

When watch members of black #MAGA show up on State TV with a straight face proclaiming that there is nothing racist about Trump or his administration, it makes me wonder how badly did it to the point that ONLY option you had was to cave into white supremacist Stockholm Syndrome. Seriously?

That's nice. When dumpy leaves us we will reverse everything and take his name off all. It'd be better to do it now since he can see it, but that's not really happening is it? Racist is the point.

If they should choose to disgrace it then all the MAGA(TS) along with Drumpf should sail it straight to the Strait of Hormuz and prove to the world how open and peaceful it really is these days...

I appreciate you addressing Hegseth’s despicable decision to remove Chappie James’s picture. However, I’m not sure the claim that James was a potential VP for Reagan is accurate. James retired on February 1, 1978, and died just 24 days later, on February 25.

Logistics/support personnel have a higher rate of female and people of color in their ranks. You have to wonder if the removal, disrespect and disregard of those personnel led to the failure of logistical planning. Is Operation Epic Clusterfuck a result of the racism/sexism? This LG LTC says YES.

☠️MAGA☠️ views Reagan as a lefty liberal . . . Reagan began his political career as a Democrat, viewing Franklin D. Roosevelt as "a true hero" . . . He joined the American Veterans Committee and Hollywood Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts, Sciences and Professions (HICCASP), worked with

Ya know what’s disgusting, individuals who use their party affiliation as a banner for their corrupt interests. They damage and degrade the party, which has happened to the Republican Party. We need to weed out these idiots and remove all of them. This is destroying our country and democracy.

Of course trump will. He pays no respect to the military or to WW ll Navy fighter pilot David McCampbell, Congressional Medal of Honor winner, who the terminal building was dedicated to. He shot down nine enemy fighters in one mission in the battle of Leyte Gulf, still an American record. Still

This too... Doris Miller faced enemy fire at Pearl Harbor. Trump may get the aircraft carrier bearing Miller’s name. Because apparently courage, sacrifice, and dying for your country still cannot compete with presidential branding. essayx.substack.com/p/sorry-dori...

essayx.substack.comSorry, Doris Miller, We Found Someone BraverThe Navy may replace a Pearl Harbor hero’s name with Donald Trump’s, because apparently courage now comes with branding rights

Never in a million years, not even if Hell froze, would I believe Reagan ever had ANY inclination of naming a person of color as his VP. Reagan was a racist to the core. I thought you were cut from a different cloth. But every now & then you remind me you're not and would support a Reagan type

From Wikipedia: Daniel "Chappie" James Jr. (February 11, 1920 – February 25, 1978) was a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force who, in 1975, became the first African American to reach the rank of four-star general in the United States Armed Forces.

Trump is a draft dodger, calling soldiers stupid, has no respect for soldiers who fought and died for this country,putting his name on a battleship and removing a soldier’s name who stepped up while under attack defending our country’s coast. Trump is a disgusting lime light grabbing poser.😠

Surprised? The Navy and all military forces (including vets and the police) work for Trump. In exchange, they get billions of dollars and never give explanation of their use. 2/3 of them voted for Trump. 2/3, nothing less.
