Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly’s channeled President Trump when he lashed out at the captain he fired for raising concerns over the spread of COVID-19 on his ship
Mr Modly You have blown any respect you thought you had among our military.
The Captain of the Roosevelt fell on his sword for his crew, an act of honor that is outside your understanding.
One thing is certain in my mind. Modly is clueless as to military culture. I was brought up with a dad who was in the Navy in WW2. Mrs darr is a navy veteran as were a cousin and two brothers-in-law. Those last 3 served in Vietnam. my family understands what Captain Crozier did, Modly does not. Neither does that buffoon who masquerades as C-n-C.
Saving lives trumps chain of command. Germany taught us that lesson. The Nazis in the Trump Administration don’t know anything, however, and they don’t admit error or take responsibility for anything.
MODly gets his 15 minutes.
Trump’s certainly got a big enough stable.
Including the good folks at FOX (including “MODly” people there…MODerators like Hannity)…who may be running into some litigation.
I’m going to keep quoting this in every Modly thread because Jesus, he actually said this.
“So think about that, when you cheer the man off the ship, who exposed you to that. I understand you love the guy, it’s good that you love him, but you’re not required to love him.”
Got that? Think about what you did with your ignorant cheers, you stupid grunts or swabbies or whatever we call the peons in the Navy. Think about who you are and are not required to love.
Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
In a side note, Actors Equity is considering a class-action suit for defamation of character.
It appears TPM hasn’t received the memo officially changing Modly’s name to “Moldy” per @littlegirlblue’s spellchecker.
This is a good point.
Unbelievable…but stupid starts at the top…
Shorter version: Shut up and die if that’s what it takes, but don’t bother your betters.
Add the military to long line of close inspections going to be necessary during the Biden Admin. This guy will quietly be shown the door, many more will be retiring. Good riddance.
No honor. None. Not from this fuckwit and certainly not from the Trump asslickers in congress. Come on Mitch and GOP, where’s your outrage at this know nothing? Where is the love for our military you fucking “patriots”? Is packing the courts worth watching this corrupt “leadership” decimate our country?
I guess the resounding silence from the halls of the Capitol building answers that question. Traitors. Fucking traitors all.
Acting Navy Secretary Goes Full Trump In Aircraft Carrier Screed Against Fired Captain
Lobbyist asshole says what?
He should be Acting Secretary of the Swamp.
Not the immediate point here, but man: this–
“The only reason we are dealing with this right now is a big authoritative regime called China was not forthcoming about what was happening with this virus and they put the world at risk to protect themselves and to protect their reputations.”
–just swap out " 'Murrika" for “China,” and you have pretty much the essence of why we are where we are.
ETA: The condescension dripping from that phrasing “a big authoritative regime called China”–like he thinks he’s talking to some grade-schoolers. But that’d also explain that stuff about the crew’s not being required to love Crozier, as though they’re automatons or something.
Like farting while sitting on a wicker chair and trying to control which hole the gas goes out of.
Keeping a good thought for you and for your daughter, ralph. Take good care of yourself.
Hmmm. Mr. Modly doesn’t know the difference between “authoritative” and “authoritarian”. Suggests he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. Only the best people! EDIT: listening to the audio, apparently he did say “authoritarian”. The transcript was wrong. Still not the sharpest tool.
looking like someone is way overdue for their dose of space junk, where’s sky lab when you need it?
“In New York, Miami beach
Heavy metal fell in Cuba
Angola, Saudi Arabia
On Christmas eve”, said Norad
A soviet sputnik hit Africa
India, Venezuela, in Texas, Kansas
It’s falling fast Peru too
It keeps coming, it keeps coming, it keeps coming
And now I’m mad about space junk
I’m all burned out about space junk
Walk and talk about space junk
It smashed my baby’s head, space junk
And now my sally’s dead, space junk
DEVO
To be expected…he and Trump share the same hair insecurity. Love those plugs Thoroughly Modern Modly!
