Captain makes desperate plea for help to save his crew, resulting in bad press for the Pentagon/Esper/Trump. Trump tells Esper to tell the military to run every major decision past the Pentagon first, and to not run afoul of Trump’s messaging. Trump tells Modly to fire the Captain cuz bad press. The resulting firing and very public, very touching send off from his crew who support him causes worse bad press. Modly flounders for a week, trying to do damage control and attempts to remove Trump from the narrative. Trump tells Modly he has to prove his loyalty and go tell those sailors he doesn’t tolerate bad press. This results in more bad press. Trump tells Modly to fall on his sword before he gets something worse from him. This appears to be a popular event so Trump tells Esper to float the idea of a possible reinstatement for the Captain, so they can measure the good press and build up the begging Trump so desperately desires.
This isn’t that hard, once you accept that everything is governed by a narcissist who only knows how to grift, and how to manipulate ratings.
None of these trumpendejos could pass a Senate confirmation hearing. The whole Navy can function only because of a strict insistence on truthfulness and competence from the bottom to the top. Where oh where is any of that in the White House?
Notice that he never mentioned the crew of Crozier's ship or says anything good about him.It's like, hey we only fucked one pooch, it could've been way worse.
Captain Crozier should retire. Who wants to work for people who stab you in the back like that? Loyalty is a two way street. The rest of the Officers Corps needs to think very carefully about their leadership and honor.
Isn't it " you haven't taken anything off the table"
It's going on because some people don't want to admit to their greed and genocidal bigotry
That said, this feels relevant

Anybody who sends out a "Happy Good Friday" greeting doesn't know what Good Friday is. He should look it up. It's in Two Corinthians, I believe.
IK,R? like saying "Happy Crucifixion!" What the heck is happy about it? and I'm a heathen!
