The argument that Crozier didn't first use the chain of command is given to be a lie by the fact that Modly's own chief of staff contacted Crozier, gave him Modly's own hone number, and said, in essence, "ignore the chain of command from now on and contact the SecNav directly.  That's when Crozier realized he wasn't getting any help unless he let lots of people know he needed it.  In essence, he was saying that, if Modly was the solution, the problem was insolvable.  That's what Modly got pissed about.

Modly is such a putz.  You don't calm the waters by pouring flaming oil on it.

Any discussion of the Kangaroo Court decision on Wisconsin?

Can you be more specific please? This is Wisconsin we're talking about. They're just this side of Florida.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

The Supreme Court, by the most improbable margin, ruled that voters in Wisconsin who didn't get the absentee ballot in time because it wasn't sent out in time due to some viruses and stuff have to schlep it to the polls or not vote.  I looked into it more and discovered that's what the Republicans wanted.

I don't understand what they get out of it.

Oh it's about the more local positions being elected.

Quote[...]

After meeting the heads of pharmaceutical companies, Trump said: "I've asked them to contact London immediately."

"They speak a language that most people don't even understand, but I understand something, that they've really advanced therapeutics and therapeutically, and they have arrived in London already," Trump said. "We've contacted all of Boris' doctors, and we'll see what is going to take place, but they are ready to go."

It was not clear which therapy Trump was referencing. And his offer would apparently involve the British Prime Minister's doctors handing over treatment decisions to American pharmaceutical companies.

I love listening to that Modly speech when you can here the voice of the Navy as someone audibly says "what the fuck?!" :lol:

You know, the drug that Trump is pushing at every possible opportunity?

Quote[...]

If hydroxychloroquine becomes an accepted treatment, several pharmaceutical companies stand to profit, including shareholders and senior executives with connections to the president. Mr. Trump himself has a small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drugmaker that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine.

I loved how he essentially asked Johnson to be a guinea pig.

If Johnson doesn't accept, Trump may impose tariffs on UK trade.

:lol: It's crazy.

And also how he managed to turn a story about someone else going into intensive care to being about him - here's what he's going to do and the advice he's giving Johnson's doctors etc :lol:
