Remember Capt. Brett Crozier?

Crozier was the commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt when the COVID crisis was breaking out. Hundreds on his ship were infected. One had died. Unable to initially get the attention of the powers that be for help, Crozier sent an email out to 3 superior officers and 7 Naval Capts. It leaked to the press.

Trump was upset (embarrassed because he knows he's an incompetent fool, in over his head), so he had the interim Sec of the Navy Thomas Modley fire Crozier for what Trump and Modley had both considered to be a failure of op-sec procedures. Then Trump feigned responsibility in the firing with his typical "I don't know anything about it." Modley got the blame, and he quit.

If we're going to use a fraction of consistency from the Trump I administration, heads of security departments need to be "decapitated" RIGHT NOW for leaking security info to the press. That Trump supports National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, calling Waltz's leak of top secret information that could have risked military lives as "no big deal," is fucking bullshit. That's not what Trump said about Capt Crozier, who was trying to prevent the loss of life on his ship for a virus Trump bears FULL responsibility.

How can anyone not be fed up to the brim with this admins' constant inconsistencies and diarrhea of incompetence? It REFUSES to accept responsibility but takes no issue with manufacturing blame on others.

The limp-dicked GOP needs to wake the fuck up. Our country's very existence is endangered. I want serious consequence, not more lies!
