I need one of those “this is my shocked face” memes.
Did we honestly expect anything else?
ranks and is credited with rescuing a troubled Dreamliner 787 program.
Which, being a business “leader”, he did all on his own despite having to deal with all those pesky job takers.

I know the trump-Putin administration is corrupt. I know it’s filled with fuck ups, losers, and liars. I know it’s committed to doing nothing that requires integrity or acknowledges the rule of law. I despise trump and his enablers. No one is shocked that a trump IG report whitewashes anything anymore. All of those people have destroyed their own credibility, too. It’s as though stupid were a communicable disease.
That said, I want to make two points. First, that when I worked for Boeing, Pat Shanahan was a respected senior manager, a director l think. Second, nothing I’ve read about his actions seems consistent with the usual trumpestuan business methods. Did Shanahan violate a regulation? Or just a norm? I haven’t been able to tell. Perhaps someone can point me to something with some depth and some details.
Still, even if Shanahan had done nothing wrong (which in gop world means he’s not actively serving time in prison for felony convictions for child molestation), his career is over. Everything and everyone trump touches turns to shit, and Shanahan is not going to be the exception to that rule. If nothing else, his involvement in the 787 debacle will insure that.
