(Guys, I apologize.  I finished this a couple of hours ago and forgot to upload it.  What day is it?)

Trump’s Acting Secretary of the Navy (Everybody is “acting” in the Trump administration – no vetting, no vote) shot off his mouth while screaming with tone deafness.

He called Capt. Brett Crozier “stupid,”  in front of the sailors onboard.

The image of Capt. Crozier walking off the USS Theodore Roosevelt for the last time with sailors chanting his name will go down in history was one of the most moving minutes in this whole damn nightmare.  Crozier has now tested positive for coronavirus.

Along comes Acting Secretary Thomas Modly and spoke to the sailors still onboard through a loudspeaker throughout the ship

Modly told the crew that their former commander, Capt. Brett Crozier, was either “too naive or too stupid” to be in command or that he intentionally leaked to the media a memo in which he warned about coronavirus spreading aboard the aircraft carrier and urged action to save his sailors.

“It was a betrayal. And I can tell you one other thing: because he did that he put it in the public’s forum and it is now a big controversy in Washington, DC,” Modly said, according to a transcript of remarks Modly made to the crew, copies of which have been provided to CNN by multiple Navy officials.

So, a controversy in Washington, D.C. is far, far worse than soldiers losing their lives.

And then get this piece of patronizing garbage.

Acting Secretary Modly.

Modly acknowledged Crozier’s popularity with the crew in his remarks to the sailors. “I cannot control or attempt to change whatever anger you have with me for relieving your beloved CO,” Modly said, using the slang for commanding officer. “I understand you may be angry with me for the rest of your lives.”

Okay, first of all: why the hell should Modly make how people feel about him an issue here.  This isn’t about him. What kind of idiot makes saving the lives of sailor about him? Oh wait, yeah, I forgot who appointed him.

“Your beloved CO.”  What the hell?  The men and women on that ship have put their lives on the line. Nobody has the right to patronize them.

On any other day in any other administration, this raging twit would get fired. Today, he’s just a mouthpiece for the boss.

Karen Sehlke died this weekend.  The cause of death – Karen Sehlke.

Karen lived in Tomball, supported Donald Trump, and held a firm belief that the Coronavirus is a hoax.  Here’s some excerpts from her last Facebook rant.

You know, Trump has some brand of courage.  I mean, it takes something to get all your supporters killed when you suggest they take a pill for malaria because “it couldn’t hurt.”  It’s hurting, you sumbitch.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

Y’all, seriously, does he dream this stuff and then thinks it’s real or is he just jacking with us?

Asked at a White House briefing if he is considering a temporary ban on domestic flights and rail travel, Trump said he was thinking about how to handle flights to and from virus “hot spots,” but that it’s “a very tough thing” to shut down “entire transportation systems.” He also claimed that there are safeguards already in place.

“They’re doing tests on airlines — very strong tests — for getting on, getting off. They’re doing tests on trains — getting on, getting off,” he said.

No.  That’s not happening.

It appears that a couple of airlines are scanning foreheads for temperatures.  Whoop-te-do.

Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen has spent his indoor time reading Federal Election Commission Reports because … well, he’s weird. Just a little. In fact, just the right amount.

We, of course, get to benefit from the goodies he finds.

He’s found a Friday Fun One.

There is a Republican guy named Wendell Champion who is a Republican running for congress against Shiela Jackson Lee in Houston. Love her or hate her, she wins with 75% of the vote every election, so Wendell does not have a rat’s chance in an owl farm of winning.

He does, though, have some fun with FEC rules.

It seems that Wendell is claiming that anonymous people are depositing money in his campaign account. Oh my goodness. I mean, what can he do about it – they’re anonymous and they direct deposit to his bank account, bypassing all regulations and the people’s right to know since 1776.

Here’s part of it and it looks like this.  Click here to see the big one.

If you check the aggregate amount of anonymous donations, it comes to $5,701, which if it was given by one individual, far exceeds the maximum amount one person can donation to a congressional candidate.  Ya gotta admit this is a pretty good scam.

But, it gets better.  It always does.

When Wendell filed his creative report to the FEC, he merrily included his bank account number.  FEC reports are public record. So, you know, just in case somebody wanted to give him another anonymous donation, he’s advertising his account number.

It’s hard to believe he’s not  a Trump, right?

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

I was not joyful to hear that Jared Kushner was taking over the United States war on a damn pandemic because best I know, Jared isn’t qualified to run a lemonade stand without his father going to prison to cover for him.

There has to be a money angle for Jared to get interested in anything. I’m guessing that I’m taking without you already knowing it.

So, here’s the deal. Jared answering questions from the press about America’s stockpile of equipment to fight the virus.

Okay, Sonny, who do you mean by “our?”  Let me first dissuade you of the silly notion that anything belonging to the federal government does not first and foremost belong to me, and, by the way, to the person reading this and everybody they know.

Nothing, including that podium and flag, belongs to you exclusively. Now, write that on the blackboard 100 times. And quit pulling Betty Sue’s pigtails. Betty Sue does not like you. Go find yourself a little girl who just loves, loves, loves shoes or some damn thing.

So, let me ponder this.  All that equipment belongs to America but not to the United States?

Are you talking like this on purpose just to piss everybody off or should we get you a cute little Prince Charles outfit and a bunker somewhere?

I hate these people, God forgive me, I just hate them.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
