This isn’t a Congress sanctioned war. It’s a one psychopath “excursion” with a single moronic, egotist firing the competent because they are competent. And a whole Congress full of spineless, gutless bootlickers backing them up. Let’s vote every Republican OUT, so we can try to fix this disaster.

I fear taking to the streets won’t work. I think we have to try to do it through elections. If IQ45 & the Rs cheat and “win” then the next step is a national strike. That’s when IQ45 will see who the real majority is. If not enough participate in a strike, I guess we will live with the consequences.

He couldn't care less about them. We know how he feels about the military. They should all come home and stop putting their lives in danger for this 5Xs draft dodger.

It's really sad to hear about our service members out there like this. If they survive and come back home, our government will continue to treat them poorly as veterans. Fix America, plz!

White House is looking glorious though. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

WaPo Exclusive: The Trump admin is now set to spend at least $900 million for construction projects on the White House grounds. 
The price tag is much larger than previously reported, according to a Post review of confidential contracts. Taxpayers would cover most of it.

Once again, it’s all about Trump. On 12 August Trump said that he was the one in actual danger, not the innocents left on Air Force One. What a freakin’ creep. It is so easy to detest this guy. And so much fun.

He is so magnificently stupid that he doesn't even realize what a decoy is. Jesus, I had a career for over twenty years working with and supporting mentally disabled people in their communities and he is literally on par intellectually. Except they were good, kind people and he is evil incarnate.

Normally, these are 6 month cruises with stops about every three weeks for about 4-6 days. Stops in Naples, Cannes, Genoa, And other places. This rest the crews and adds fresh food. I served two tours aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. This length of duty, would never have happened. It's because of Trump

Old saying: "You shouldn't have joined if you can't take a joke". This is no fucking joke, of course. This shit does nothing for morale. I don't think I'd like to be flying off a carrier with poor morale. Fuck Trump. Fuck Hegseth. People in harm's way deserve the best.

It reminds me of the Spanish American war where troops in the Philippines were fed spoiled rations. This lead to food poisoning being one of the biggest casualties in that theatre. The robber barons got the provision contracts and maximized their profits at the expense of troops.

This starts at the top of DOD, Pete Hegseth does not have the knowledge or ability to manage his $1.5 trillion dollar budget. This Iran fiasco was poorly thought out and poorly managed. Now we are engaged in a long standoff, with little sign of it abating.

Why aren't helicopters full of supplies dropping them off for these sailors? We can send people to the moon but we can't get necessary supplies to one of our ships? Make it make sense. We all know Trump doesn't give a shit about these people and they're just pawns in his illegal war to him.

Ive heard it before… my family served on the AL!!! Suicides occur frequently - google it! The US Navy has had a BIG problem since Bush II bsky.app/profile/ojtp...

OJT PhD@ojtphd.bsky.social

The AL carrier exhibits the SAME problems ALL carrier groups experience! Sailors are embattled against each other along religious lines (Christians blaming Jews for ‘killing Christ’), ethnic and racial lines (bigotry abounds, white supremacy)… BUSH II broke our military’s back;CHUMP made zombies

I’m all for supporting our troops, although I’m not all for supporting wars. But it seems like those who send our young people into war should be at the front of the line for supporting our troops. This is seriously shameful.

4/4 Not so fun facts of the Trump/Hegseth MAGA Navy per AI ”Ships permanently stationed overseas—such as those operating out of Japan or Spain—frequently run on different schedules, conducting shorter, back-to-back patrols lasting 3 to 5 months rather than one long rotational deployment”

2/4 Not so fun facts of the Trump/Hegseth MAGA Navy per AI “In May 2026, the USS Gerald R. Ford returned to Norfolk after an extraordinary 326-day deployment (nearly 11 months), making it the longest post-Cold War carrier deployment in modern naval history.”

1/4 Not so fun facts of the Trump/Hegseth MAGA Navy, per AI “In 2026, the official standard target for a U.S. Navy ship deployment is 6 to 7 months, but intense global conflicts and a shortage of available ships have pushed actual deployment lengths closer to 8 to 11 months”

And....Trump wants 70 BILLION DOLLARS for ICE!!! WTAF is going on??? Dems NEED to take the mid terms and stop Trump in his tracks. He claims if that happens he'll govern with Exec orders, but I think that might be illegal in some cases.

Reportedly... -urine and feces on floors because of malfunctioning toilets -issues with inedible food -longer work shifts, thus more time below deck i.e. less fresh air, more time breathing toileting debris (imagine eating meals in a septic tank!) -months' delays to send or receive personal mail

Which is by design. “Saint Reagan” said "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help." To which the GOP added elect us and we will prove it. Vote Blue in 26 to slow them down. Vote Blue in 28 to repair things.

The crimes being committed should never be buried. This is how regime change happens, when your military turns on the dictator. Those who serve our country deserve so much better... #HumanRights #CrimesAgainstHumanity

hear me out…last we heard from pete he was begging congress for money, don’t put it past this group to intentionally bring suffering to service members so someone in the flock can blame dems for blocking the funding, it’s all bs but there is nothing honorable about this admin

Meanwhile trump's personal army of untrained ICE goons are living large with their daily meal and lodging allowance.

Another factor in the Persian Gulf is the extreme heat, with temperatures well over 100 F, and heat index over 120. Parts of the ship have air conditioning, but still, it must be unbearable.

Willard (voice-over): Charlie didn't get much USO. He was dug in too deep or moving too fast. His idea of great R&R was cold rice and a little rat meat. He had only two ways home: death, or victory. Apocalyse Now

Deploy 2 carriers when one would have been enough. No backup plan. All for show. Never thinking past a short deployment. Hegseth is a drug and alcohol addled incompetent.

That’s the operative word - corrupt. Russia is run by corrupt oligarchs. Now - so is the USA. All we have to do is look at the Russian people’s lifestyle to see how we will be living in 10 years if we don’t vote every R out in Nov.

Dick Cheney's the one who deserves the most blame for starting all of this, after privatizing as much as he could during Iraq War 2 & other campaigns. This admin otoh, along with its previous incarnation, simply eliminated any stigma associated w. pigging out at the trough or doing a shitty job

While we figure out how to get the service members home, is there a way to get plant-based (less spoilage) protein powder/shakes? I hate the thought of it but leaving the situation as-is feels like abandoning them.

Ahhh the sweet smell of victory. How dare those Iranians not bend to the will of djt and the mighty American military. I guess fuck face didn’t figure on Iran not licking his boots. He’s surrounded by so many dick kissing nut garglers he thinks the world works that way.

Penis Pete is eating the good meat! While the Troops get the rotten meat. The moron worries more about some dudes T level, instead of how a happy well-fed warrior fights! Typical Republicans bullshit you get in every war. The food contractors are who now?

I’m not joking when I wonder - who has it better right now; sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, or immigrants in detention centers? Both experiences sound disturbingly similar. You’re trapped in this regimented government run place with no way to leave, forced to subsist on dregs in filth. 

History shows us quite clearly what happens when troops lose morale. They throw in the towel and quit. Especially when they dont have any personal skin in the outcome. This war is already lost. Its just playing out in slow motion because Trump is stuck in zugzwang.

They are all war criminals now. I have no pity. What they should have done is tell president pedo to fuck off with his illegal orders, and refuse. But nooooo, they finally got to play war for real. FAFO.

Even during Vietnam on board the Ranger we always had descent food and got a port call every 30 days or so. Six months of bad food and not touching land, its a wonder there haven't been any killings.
