Fuck man can you not just let a guy have a funny quip about the infinite universes surrounding us without pointing out that we are all going to die slow, terrible deaths?

RIP

Vice Adm. Scott Stearney, who oversaw U.S. Navy forces in the Middle East, was found dead Saturday in his residence in Bahrain, officials said. Defense officials told CBS News they are calling it an "apparent suicide."

Stearney was the commander of the U.S. Navy's Bahrain-based 5th Fleet. Rear Adm. Paul Schlise, the deputy commander of Fifth Fleet, has assumed command, the Navy said in a statement. 

"Scott Stearney was a decorated Naval warrior. He was a devoted husband and father, and he was a good friend to all," the statement said. 

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Bahraini Ministry of Interior are investigating Stearney's death, the Navy said, but foul play is not suspected.

Remember the days when we had a first family with class?  Chances of any of the Trumps going out of their way and putting business aside to go honor someone, much less someone from another party, are zero

What the fuck does this have to do with a thread about Donald Trump you fucking loon.  Does your medication allow you to have an original thought outside of "control C/control V" for yet some other obscure new feed on some event that in this case has no relevance to the topic and just adds to your volcanic diarrhea interrupting where people can actually read other's thoughts that may  differ from their own on matters of interest.     Damnation, it is completely understandable why you were banned from other forums.

Nope.  I'd take Hostetler or Bulger over Grier.  (and we were good enough to beat UT in Austin this year)

I wonder if Trump will be invited to the funeral?  If you were the Bush family would you invite him?

I don't know who the hell beyond the many, many people in his group legal cooperation agreement that would have any interest at all in having Trump at their funeral.  Actaually I take that back.  If a person in the massive group legally cooperation was dead there would be no need to have Trump there, as there would no longer be any need to keep the chance of a Presidential pardon in play...

Yep, Trump only attracts those who want something out of him or his connections for things of this world.  You really have to wonder if the man ever had a real friend.  Not some suckup sycophant, but a real friend.  Two classes of people in his life:  Those he uses and those who use him.

His behavior the last few days has been worse than embarrassing. And not a peep from the other GOP elected officials. It's got to be about to all blow up, and he knows it.

he has to be thinking of making a break for it.  problem is: where would he go?  turns out russia doesn't really like him, and you see the disgust other world leaders have for him.

i wonder if he might talk putin into a gig way out in siberia.  then maybe about a quarter of our population would choose to be there with their glorious leader.

russia is hurting for population in that area.  it might be a win all 'round.

President Pence will pardon him to show how much he loves/lusts him. 

Negative. Once Pence learns about prison sex, he will fail on his sword for Trump.

Newly released emails about the three Trump associates who secretly steered the Department of Veterans Affairs show how deeply the trio was involved in some of the agency’s most consequential matters, most notably a multibillion-dollar effort to overhaul electronic health records for millions of veterans.

Marvel Entertainment chairman Ike Perlmutter, West Palm Beach physician Bruce Moskowitz and lawyer Marc Sherman — part of the president’s circle at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida — reviewed a confidential draft of a $10 billion government contract for the electronic-records project, even though they lack any relevant expertise.

In preparing the contract, the agency consulted more than 40 outside experts, such as hospital executives, according to the records, which were released under the Freedom of Information Act. The Mar-a-Lago trio were listed among those experts. Perlmutter, a comic book tycoon, appears on the list between representatives from the University of Washington Medical Center, Intermountain Healthcare and Johns Hopkins University.

But none of the three men has served in the U.S. military or elsewhere in government, and none of them has expertise in health information technology or federal contracting.

The newly released emails also detail Moskowitz’s effort to get the VA and Apple to adapt his app. As a VA IT official described it in a May 2017 email, “We are utilizing the native iOS mobile app, Emergency Medical Center Tracker, that Dr. Moskowitz developed.”

  Quote

When Selnick said the VA’s information technology division could start working on the app, Moskowitz replied, “We need our specialist.” He then connected Selnick with his son Aaron, and Selnick introduced Aaron Moskowitz to Apple. (Aaron Moskowitz’s name is redacted from the emails, but his involvement was confirmed by four people familiar with the matter. He didn’t respond to a request for comment.)

VA officials identified major problems with the app’s usability and functionality. “Some of the code needs to be refactored and even rebuilt,” the IT official said in the May email.

Nevertheless, Moskowitz’s son Aaron joined a June 2017 conference call with executives from top medical systems and from Apple, including CEO Tim Cook. Moskowitz wanted the app discussed for five to seven minutes, according to the emails. After the call, Moskowitz named his son as one of the project’s “mid-level project managers.”

Expand  
  Quote

In preparation for the conference call, Apple employees and medical experts circulated a memo that assessed Moskowitz’s proposals, which were identified as coming from “the VA and the White House.” In the memo, Apple’s experts pushed back on Moskowitz’s app, saying that the VA’s website already offered a similar tool and that the national databases needed to make the app accurate didn’t exist. Instead, the memo encouraged pursuing a different idea (giving veterans a way to store their health data on their cellphones), which it said would “achieve the greatest benefit for our veterans in the shortest amount of time
