As a former nuclear submarine officer known for his temperament and poise, tonight should be a lesson to all, never go after this Navy Nuke’s family.

I've got a few questions. Why isn't he still in the Navy? How long did he serve? What was his job on that boat? What makes him think he is somehow so special as to threaten people in this way?
I'm just asking questions here.
A nuclear officer runs the power plant operations, and by runs the operations, I mean "does what the enlisted people who actually run the power plant say."
Being a nuke is one of the few roles in the military where you are explicitly told to contradict the officers while on duty, especially as you have likely been doing this for years. The navy really, really, really doesnt want it's own Chernobyl.
So youve been doing this shit dor years, and then these 22 year old college seniors fresh off keggers and ROTC come in and sometimes think they know "how things will work." The non stupid ones listen and learn quick. The stupid ones get trained the hard way, but they all get trained.
So basically, if he wasent one of the stupid ones, he was technically in charge of running a nuclear power plant, supported by a large group of highly technical people. if he was one of the stupid ones, he was constantly and steadily manhandled into doing the correct action by smarter and meaner people who gave no shits about what bars were on his shoulders.
I can guess which.
Lmao navy nuke.... Where toixicity brews and stagnates and festers. Those guys are really mean and hate life/each other.
Amen. Its a terrible job, that's way too fucking difficult for what you make.
Between the years of intense training, rotating shift work, filthy/loud/hot enviroment, constant drills, ongoing technical training, testing, maintenance, qualifying and high pressure break/fix, it's a real shit show. The job just beats you and beats you until you're enough of an asshole to start beating it back.
It's a systemic issue that the Navy doesnt care about. It does explain the 3% re-enlistment rate for the role though. When 97% of a rate opt Navy wide to end their military service after their initial enlistment, it ain't the peoples fault.
When're we going to stop electing toddlers?
Make America Grownup Again.
This is the trickle down we've been hearing about. It's piss. And runny shit.
Think about who would want to be a representative for a minute. You have almost no authority or actual power, you spend most of the time begging people for money, you have to do exactly what those people tell you to do or you're out of a job, you're famous but nobody cares who you are, every mistake you make will be broadcast and recorded for historical purposes, and you have to work long, inconsistent hours, travel a lot, always dress nice and look kempt, and you don't get paid very much unless you're corrupt as shit.
So who wants that job?
Someone who has money already and wants what little prestige it comes with to stroke their ego.
Someone devoted to civil service who naively thinks it's a good job without understanding how it works.
Someone who sees it as a step on the ladder to bigger things.
Someone who is corrupt as shit.
You kidding? They make $174,000 a year. That’s over 3x what I make and their work hours are probably around half of what I work in a year. Yeah they work hours outside of that but as a teacher so do I so lol.
Like yeah there’s definitely not great parts about their job but let’s not pretend they’re underpaid and overworked. Let’s also not pretend they do the entirety of their job without other staff members.
When we start raising them to be adults 😤
physically shoved the Congressman at a holiday event (edited from the video).
How convenient that the “shove” was edited from the video. Wonder who did that???
A lot of these statespeople have never seen the white of an angry mobs' eyes and it shows.
I bet his daughter hates him.
Actually, it sounds like he has his daughter brainwashed:
He said his daughter had a running conflict with another student whose parents were going through a divorce. His daughter would sometimes tell the other girl, “I’ll pray for you.”
Williams said the teacher told his daughter it was inappropriate for her to tell someone she would pray for them.
“She would reference our family’s Christian faith as the reason and cause for the conflict, which was not true,” Williams said of the teacher.
I say this as someone who pulled his daughter out of school because of bullying- regularly being a dick to other kids makes you the bully.
Republican.
But you probably knew that.
They're the free space on the Violent Abuser bingo card.
This is brilliant - I'm going to have to remember that line. Thank you!
That is quite messed up.
