Again, we have a diseased, bloated madman at the helm of this country, trying to steer it into permanent wreckage - while a supplicant congress is simply content to follow his every order and suck his butt. The latest outrage is how the carrier U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln has been allowed to be deployed for over 250 days, as living conditions have deteriorated along with morale. The latter leading to six sailors already reaching such desperation they tried to jump off the ship, see e.g. the Kyle Kulinski video podcast:
6 US Soldiers Tried To K*LL THEMSELVES By Jumping Off The USS Lincoln | The Kyle Kulinski Show
And what has been the response of the rotting orange fungal Turd? Well only to insist the besieged U.S.S. Lincoln tour "wasn't nearly long enough". (WSJ, 'Trump Downplays Concerns About Carrier, Aug. 15-16, p. A7).
Not nearly long enough with guys so stir crazy they're jumping off the ship for escape? What mushrooms or drugs is this fat fucker on?
This was the response of the demented pig who passes for 'commander in chief- though he couldn't command emptying a porto potty. Why would he, as a draft dodger, traitor and grifting criminal who cares more about completing his gold ballroom than the distressed sailors on the U.S.S. Lincoln?
As NY Times' Maggie Haberman recently noted in an Ezra Klein interview:
"70 percent of his mind share is on completing his ego projects like his ballroom and Arch de Trump."
This is the slime ball who the craven, conservo-cuck WSJ editors (in the same Journal issue) could not bring themselves to blame for the Carrier's problems in their editorial ('A Crisis in U.S. Naval Readiness Revealed', p. A 14). And the Editor's asinine response? It's the Democrats to blame! Writing:
"Democrats this week are expressing outrage over press reports of low morale and tough conditions aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, the aircraft carrier deployed for 250 days. This is a new level of chutzpah from the party that won't pass a bill to finance military operations."
Woah! 'A new level of chutzpah'? Back up there Dotard asslickers and bald-faced liars passing for 'editors'. The sole blame is on your vaunted Orange hero who launched the attacks on Iran with Israel. Iran then responded with an initial all out targeted assault on the U.S. supply depot in Bahrain - which forced the Navy to move supply operations 2,2oo miles away to the island of Diego Garcia -with a Brit base in the Indian Ocean. Check your damn facts and you will find the same moron that launched this war of choice also LOST it on Day one, see e.g.,
"He lost the war on Day 1" — Paul Krugman Exposes Iran War Failure
But no, the mesmerized Journal editors are dug too deeply into Donnie Dotard's rear end. What with believing Trump's lies to the extent they will swallow anything he or keg master Hegsbreath bellows out of their pieholes. I.e. the latter gaslighting the nation with this horse shit: "The brave Sailors of that Strike Group are very proud of their tough and historic mission!"
Er no, they are not, Petey. They are barely hanging on for dear life having "not made a port call in 200 days, setting a record for consecutive days at sea".
And all that time dealing with half rotten food, moldy showers, no hot water and a ship basically falling apart as Kyle Kulinski's podcast notes. No wonder these guys are ready to jump off it for relief - and yeah troops are lashing out, e.g.
Trump has CATASTROPHIC SUNDAY as TROOPS LASH OUT!!
But the craven WSJ editors go on to bark out this twaddle:
"If Democrats are so concerned perhaps they could expedite passage of the $17 billion for U.S. military operations that the Administration requested."
Oh you mean this "administration"? Actually a regime of criminals, clowns and congenital liars who can't even get their stories straight two days in a row? How about instead, Captain Bonespurs finally take an 'L' and admit he lost this war and that Iran will never cease making his life miserable'? At least Hormuz would open again and the desperate people of the globe who need energy - including for fertilizer - would breathe easier.
But no, "Bonespurs" Trump ain't about to do that. He'd rather spit out tons more horse manure like asking voters to accept $4 gas prices for a war they are not behind. (See top graphic). Do the WSJ editors mention any of this? Hell no! They prefer to piss all over the Dems in their editorial, but then in the next paragraph bleat:
"Yet the GOP also seems ready to abandon the President's $350 billion defense request."
Well, hell's bells, maybe they've also seen the light, but more likely are trying a reconciliation bill end around. Personally, I don't care so long as Dotard Donnie and Kegsbreath don't get any more taxpayer money to blow on their futile war that's already lost. And clearly we're never going to get the truth from the WSJ Pooh Bahs anyway, so outside sources are essential. Below some of the videos, podcasts that tell it like it is:

Why Trump's Ballroom Bunker Proves He's Terrified | The Daily Beast Podcast
The only WSJ Op-ed contributor who (for now) seems to possess a full deck and some grasp of reality appears to be Peggy Noonan ('Trump is Starting To Look Precarious', Aug. 15-16, p. A15) who writes this regarding Bonespurs:
"His political problem with Iran is not only that the conflict is dangerous and unresolved. or that his attempts at diplomatic resolution seem half-baked, but that almost six months in he seems utterly out of his depth. Like someone who wouldn't have gone in there had he understood history or the nature of Iran's leadership."
To which all I can retort is a big "DUH!" Of course this deranged nitwit doesn't understand history because he's never studied it. Hell, the dolt doesn't read and can't even handle a vastly reduced half page daily brief - as Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan note in their book Regime Change,
'Regime Change' - Perhaps The Best Political Expose in 20 years (A Review)
Noonan herself is also wise enough to grasp Trump is to blame for whatever morass or lack of military readiness or weapons the country finds itself in. Especially given the idiots defended U.S. bases around the Gulf with thousands of Patriot missiles at $4 m each, while Iran took out its targets with $400k drones. Of course the U.S. -guided by certified morons- would run through its whole inventory!
Near the end of her piece Noonan writes that Trump spoke to Tucker Carlson "by phone in the weeks before the Iran war commenced" Adding:"Mr. Carlson was trying to warn him against military action" But Trump replied: "I know you're worried about it. But it's going to be OK."
Again proving severe detachment from reality and military facts. Namely that Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz when the first missiles struck. But the Orangutan believed he'd have a cakewalk like in Venezuela. Noonan again:
"It's hard to understand such a breezy gloss on history, or on life. Presidents don't say that kind of thing because presidents are precisely the people that learn each day that many things don't work out for the best."
Well, especially if that president is deluded, deranged or both - like Trump. Or which Pegs attributes to "boredom", i.e.
"Mr. Trump seems to have a real fear of boredom. Even at his age he is restless, and when there's peace and quiet he seems to become anxious as if he can't tolerate normality."
Exactly, Peggy! Because he's not normal though too much of the reactionary press treats him as such (even YOU at other times!)
But what Noonan interprets as aversion to normality I and many others - including his former lawyer Ty Cobb - trace to mounting insanity, i.e.
Trump Lawyer Calls For 25th Amendment Over PSYCHOTIC MELTDOWN
So it's past time this senile fool needs to be replaced under the 25th amendment. If this traitor loses it with Iran and launches tactical nukes at some point (say at Pickaxe Mtn.) the nation's 'leaders' can only blame themselves for refusing to act expeditiously.

Rotten food, overflowing toilets into bunking areas, no room in the incoming missile shelters, confiscated cellphones that are the notification devices for incoming missiles, infrequent mail, social media closed down, were some of the issues that military families identified at the national conference of Veterans For Peace.
Spouses and parents of Air Force, Army, Marine, and Navy members told of plummeting morale, lack of basic supplies, and attacks on US military bases that are not reported in the US media.
The frustration of the military families at the VFP conference echoed the descriptions of life on US military bases in the Middle East under attack by the Iranian response to the brutal US-Israeli five-month attack on Iran made by military families who met with the acting assistant secretary of the Navy and the commander of the US Pacific Fleet in San Diego on August 6, 2026.

Opinion | Why the USS Abraham Lincoln crew has reached a breaking point - The Washington Post
Excerpt:
When missions expand while food, showers and sleep dwindle —
and when mail and port calls are canceled, and homecoming dates repeatedly
rescheduled — time seems to stop, making life in the middle of the ocean turn
from hard to intolerable.
That breakdown matches recent reports
of conditions on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, which is on
a historic deployment with more than 260
consecutive days at sea. The crew of roughly 5,000 was supposed to be home
several weeks ago, but the prolonged war with Iran has extended its operations.
For months, worried family members have raised concerns about the well-being of
their sailors and the status of the ship, sharing accounts of broken systems,
supply shortages and extreme fatigue.
Rep. Mike Levin (D-California), who represents the
congressional district neighboring the Lincoln’s home port in San Diego, chronicled the
issues on social media: “Moldy showers, broken toilets, laundry down
for weeks, long stretches with no hot water, a meal that came down to half a
cup of rice and two tortillas. No soap, deodorant, or toothpaste.”
