@drdave1999 She sounds nothing like I thought she would… she doesn’t sound as smart as I expected. This speech was written for her and obvious the way she’s speaking….
@krassenstein Absolutely horrendous… treating our service members like trash. Kegbreath needs to be held accountable…fired, prosecuted for causing severe stress, unnecessary illness…
OMFG!
This should be a national scandal.
Multiple sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have attempted to jump overboard as the aircraft carrier’s deployment in the Middle East stretches months beyond what their families originally expected.
Think about how desperate conditions have to become for American service members, people trained to endure enormous physical and psychological stress, to reach that point.
The roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard the Lincoln have reportedly endured food and water shortages, poor-quality rations, shortages of basic hygiene products, broken toilets, mold and mildew in showers, intermittent hot water, disrupted mail service and brutally long workdays with little meaningful time off.
The ship has spent extraordinary stretches at sea without the regular port calls that normally allow crews to get off the vessel, rest, resupply and simply experience something resembling normal life for a few days.
These men and women volunteered to serve the United States. They understood that military service could mean sacrifice, danger and months away from their families.
They did not volunteer to be treated as disposable.
If conditions aboard one of the most powerful and expensive warships on Earth have deteriorated to the point where sailors are reportedly trying to throw themselves into the ocean, then something has gone catastrophically wrong.
Our service members deserve better than this.
And somebody in leadership needs to answer for how it was ever allowed to get this bad.
Newsom: "That $400 million Qatari plane? That's not a $400 million gift. It cost you $936 million. That was what was appropriated as he's cutting food stamps and cutting your Medicaid. He put a billion dollars in the Pentagon budget to retrofit his private plane because that's going with him after the presidency. That has happened on our watch ... this Board of Peace in the Middle East? That's so he can get a piece of the Middle East."
