So if Trump says two countries have agreed to settle a war with each other, but each country says they haven’t agreed to anything and don’t know anything about it, there is still a deal if Trump decides in his mind that a deal has been reached. Do I have the Trump Doctrine right?

That’s Marky’s answer to a disgusting violation of human rights — ‘just pretend it’s not happening.’

Oh yeah, that’ll work. Just look away, and try not to think about how this savagery is being perpetrated in our names. Awesome idea, Marky. Thanks for your contribution to the national discourse. You’ve really done us all a solid.

Margaret Brennan has it exactly right in that clip. Donny and Petey are going to turn some asshole who murdered a bunch of soldiers into a martyr. They’re going to turn him into a cause.

And then what? Did not one of these nitwits think about what could happen next? Did they not game that shit out? Of course they didn’t. These are the morons who quite famously act first and think never. It’s as if you took two eight-year-old boys, pumped them full of sugar, and set them loose making policy.

Postscript: The Navy is considering stripping Doris Miller’s name from the Ford-class aircraft CVN-81 and renaming it for Trump. This isn’t just another Trump vanity move. It would derail plans for the first aircraft carrier named for a Black American and again deny Miller the honor he deserves.
Members of Dorie Miller’s family look on as U.S. Navy personnel unveil the design concept for the future aircraft carrier USS Doris Miller (CVN-81) during the ship’s naming ceremony in January 2020. The proposal to name the ship for Trump has triggered pushback from veterans, lawmakers, civil rights organizations and Miller’s descendants. Pentagon officials have floated a strategic alternative: upgrading Miller’s Navy Cross to the Congressional Medal of Honor and moving his name to a smaller class of warship, such as a guided-missile destroyer. By naval tradition, destroyers are named after Medal of Honor recipients, whereas aircraft carriers are typically reserved for presidents. However, critics view this compromise as a transparent bureaucratic maneuver to clear the carrier slot for Trump while claiming a victory for Miller’s legacy.

In August 1944, the Navy began a pilot program in which Black sailors were assigned to general service roles alongside white sailors on 25 auxiliary fleet ships. It proved that integrated crews could operate under pressure, paving the way for the desegregation of the military four years later. /end
A U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer demonstrates lathe operations to African American apprentice seamen at Camp Robert Smalls, July 30, 1943. Before 1942, Black recruits were trained at a facility for the Messman Branch. However, as the demands of WWII escalated and political heat from the Double V campaign intensified, FDR pressured the Navy to open general service ratings to Black men. The Navy’s response was to build Camp Robert Smalls, named for an enslaved African American sea captain who commandeered a Confederate transport ship and delivered it to the Union Navy. Camp Robert Smalls allowed the Navy to fulfill the White House mandate to train Black sailors for technical ratings while still maintaining racial segregation. To run the camp, the Navy selected Commander Owen Picton, a white officer who was an anomaly within the segregated military system. Picton had to enforce segregation, but he rejected the Navy’s racist “theories.” Photo credit: U.S. Navy / National Archives.

In response to the outrage surrounding Miller’s death and growing manpower shortages, the Navy put 16 Black men into an officer training program. On March 1, 1944, the Navy commissioned its first 13 Black officers. The Navy also commissioned two warships manned by predominantly Black crews. /9
The “Golden Thirteen,” the U.S. Navy’s first black commissioned officers, March 17, 1944. Top row: John Walter Reagan, Jesse Walter Arbor, Dalton Louis Baugh, Frank Ellis Sublett. Middle row: Graham Edward Martin, Charles Byrd Lear, Phillip George Barnes, Reginald E. Goodwin. Bottom row: James Edward Hair, Samuel Edward Barnes, George Clinton Cooper, William Sylvester White, Dennis Denmark Nelson. In late 1943, the Navy reluctantly established an officer candidate class for Black service members, but forced the men to complete the16-week officer training in just eight weeks. The Black candidates realized that the Navy expected them to fail, and made a pact to help each other master the material. When the final exams were graded, all 16 men passed with flying colors. Suspecting cheating, Navy leadership forced them to retake the exams under strict supervision. They scored even higher on the retake. Unwilling to commission all 16 men, the Navy chose 75% of the class without explanation.

2. According to AdImpact data retrieved at 2:45 p.m. Eastern today, Defendants’ ads ran in nearly 400 spots on programs that began airing at 7 p.m. Eastern last
night—that is, after this Court’s order was in effect. Ex. B.
3. Specifically, “Final Battle” ran in 193 spots during “60 Minutes,” which aired on CBS starting at 7 p.m. Eastern. Ex. B.
4. And “Maduro” ran in 198 spots during “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” which aired on ABC starting at 7 p.m. Eastern. Ex. B.
