this looks more like a supporter with a death wish. There could be plenty of armed sharp-shooters out there who'd not miss that boat...or the person at the wheel. IMO, not a good idea from a promotional standpoint and not a way to keep the peace.

Haters of?

ANY/ALL banners?

Who wants to walk along dock with a bunch of "banners/flags" flapping in your face while you are trying to get to YOUR boat?

IF it was on "his" dock and no one else is allowed to have flags on "their" dock....them's the rules...move OR "shut the front door".

This "music HE blasted instead"

Were other Trump supporters in the area subjected to the same noise?

How come?

PS...as soon as he decided to shut his music off...I'd turn mine on.

Trump AND Trump supporters (nobody loves him/them)?

Treated worse than Abe Lincoln?

HONEST Abe?

How dare HE...compare himself to someone with the moniker "HONEST" Abe.

Trump Says He Is Treated ‘Worse’ Than President Lincoln, Who Was Assassinated

I am greeted by a hostile press, the likes of which no president has ever seen… They always said nobody got treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I am treated worse.

Getting tough/hostile questions is "worse than" getting shot/killed?

IF he told the truth...the questions wouldn't seem so "hostile"?

Someone has a thin skin....

The tea party is back — and endangering lives

We haven’t heard from them much in the past 3½ years. Not that they shouldn’t have found plenty of fodder for outrage: record deficits and debt; an autocrat in the White House who regularly claims extra-constitutional authority; economic policies that tilt heavily in favor of the wealthy and big business.

Tea party activists have looked the other way on all of these things throughout the presidency of Donald Trump. But now they are appearing again in state capitals across the country, screaming and waving their “Don’t Tread on Me” banners to vent at the lifesaving measures that governors have taken in the face of an epidemic that has already caused upward of 40,000 deaths in the United States.


Who woulda' thunk a tea party activist would be giving a Trump supporter an atta' boy?

Speaking of governors
May 6, 2020 1:46AM PDT

and life saving methods....tell that to the NYC nursing home deaths that account for 25% of the total deaths due to the executive order mandating that the elderly be taken in or returned to those nursing homes who were infected with covid19 without any of the equipment or personnel to properly treat them....even to the point of transporting them WITH BODY BAGS.....all the while KNOWING that there was a covid19 MASH hospital unit available AND a SHIP sitting there barely being used.

Speaking of Covid 19 and the Navy
May 6, 2020 5:33AM PDT

their record ain't that great when it comes to identifying, recognizing, admitting THEY have Covid 19 ONBOARD the ship.

Yet another reason to dislike DJT....IF I was in the US Navy ......I wouldn't be in the US Navy much longer.

It appears the CIC isn't looking out for me and/or my fellow crew members.

So it's every man/women for themselves.

I think you would are right....

but reason for not being in long would be for refusing to follow orders and insubordination probably.....you have long ago shown you have attitude issues. Glad you're over the border.

You're missing the point, Bill.

The CinC is the law to the troops. Not the constitution, not a trooper's personal feelings, not circumstances.

(You can cite outcomes to the contrary that were adjuticated later. Don't matter, unless you end up on the winning side. So far the Captain is. So far.)

The time to object rationally is before 'pledging allegiance'. As the Bible says. And be prepared to die for one's stand. As the Bible says. Then, see the motto on the US coinage. Or Dan ch. 3, on a great patriotic holiday in old Babylon.. "But if not ..."

Exodus ch. 18 is the story of Moses and Jethro, his father in law. Very informative. The modern one was a hillbilly, from the Bible Belt as it's called. Many folks there give their kids biblical names. Same with Asia, where parents were converted by English and other Bible Society missionaries. Suddenly there are Davids and Habbakuks mixed with the Wus and Wongs.
Many Hollywood folks are ethnic Jews whose parents sent them to Hebrew school, and some of it stuck. Hence Jethro Clampett.
Another factor. Biblical Jethro was a Midianite, not a worshiper of Jehovah. When he saw how well the Israelites did with their God he converted. That would appeal to a kid who grew up being bullied over his religion and culture.

(NT) Sorry. Jethro wasn't a Clampett. Stoopid.
