the FBI as make-a-wish foundation except instead of going to Disneyland it’s just the stupidest and most disrespectful bullshit anyone has ever come up with

NYT confirms — with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying."

Anyone can wangle a work trip to Hawaii, and if they manage that they can snorkel the tropical waters. That's a nice perk, but it doesn't prove you're better than everyone else. To really show you've made it and have achieved exclusivity, you have to snorkel the world-famous gravesite.

honestly kind of impressed at this one, how do you even come up with “I want to go snorkeling at the tomb of the Arizona”

I think Trump just gets bored and comes up with National Treasure anctics for his staff. "We need to dig up the east wing, there's elenor rooseveldt's rubies down there!"

Also why the fuck does he need Navy Seal escorts in the heart of a military base? It's like they took every opportunity to make a corrupt, wasteful, and tacky decision.

I feel like it must have been something where the activity was the first step. "I want to have a snorkeling vacation, but I need to do it somewhere that seems official for the documentation.... oh, here's a list of very respected ship tombs... let's just go to the first one on there."

This is what I don't get. It's not a stick it to the libs thing, it's not a cool rich person only thing, it's not a corruption thing. How does this even pop into your brain as something you should do???

you know how like, with cats, if you leave anything out on the floor, even just a piece of paper, they immediately have to find it and sit on it? I think these guys are like that but with doing things that upset people

same kinda thing as that guy throwing a rock at a monk seal there's no actual reason to do that, it doesn't benefit you in any way--just, oh you want me to respect something? fuck you.
