Donald Trump makes me seethe.  The two Navy officers charged with prosecuting Chief Edward Gallagher have hit Trump’s I’M FREAKING THE HELL OUT list and he has decided that they have to surrender their Achievement medals.

Wait, wait, why doesn’t he just go put them in a cage on the border instead of taking their medals.  They prosecuted his friend and now, now, yeah now, they are gonna pay for it. And let this be a warning to any other government prosecutor who dares attempt to prosecute somebody that Trump likes.

Yeah, I am pissed off.

Trump, earlier on Wednesday, had tweeted that he directed the secretary of the U.S. Navy and the naval operations chief to “immediately withdraw and rescind” the Navy Achievement Medal from those prosecutors. Cdr. Jereal Dorsey, a U.S. Navy spokesman, said that Navy Secretary Richard Spencer had rescinded the awards and that he had the authority to do so.

Trump has insisted that Gallagher never should have been prosecuted, but that view is hardly universal. Gallagher’s critics alleged that he killed the prisoner and member of the terrorist group ISIS (Islamic State, Iraq and Syria) as an act of vigilante justice. Gallagher, they alleged, did not act in self-defense, but rather, became a vigilante and appointed himself judge, jury and executioner.

Isn’t that kinda what Trump does every damn day?  Assigns himself as judge, jury, and executioner?

Gallagher  not the kind of American soldier we should be honoring.  He’s a bully – just like Trump. And he’ll have a show on Fox News within the month.

Man, I gotta go do some deep breathing.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
