Fck the virus, but this is the perfect existing pretext for Trump to roll in and fix the lib-city problems without it looking like he's stepping on anybody's toes.
AND it's off shore, so I believe they'll be able to run things without Demo-flak.
That ain't changing until we bring manufacturing back home and their work is valued again. Right now there are too many economically and politically disposable men.
Buying American should be a simple economic choice. Instead, we tax human labor until nobody can afford to do business and help corporations take our innovative work and ship it to places like China; we.have made it both legal.and profitable for companies to be bought out and strip mined for financial business and banks - two of the most worthless places to make a profit. Trump sees this and if we had congressional leaders that could win an election without foreign interference we could.get some.modest changes to turn the ship of state, slowly, in a different direction.
Because it's more about punishing men than about supporting children. If it were about supporting children, there would be a requirement that the money be used only for their benefit.
At this point, we need to legalize financial abortion up to a certain point in the pregnancy so many weeks after being served official paternity papers.
When those ships pull into a port it is like a new building being there. There is no missing them. This is 3D chess. Take the two worst Governors, your biggest critics, and park these things in their biggest port. What the hell can they do? Complain?
California only needs the Mercy because Gov Jerry Brown throw out all the MASH units in 2012/13 because they cost 6 million a year to maintain. Among the things Brown throw out were thousands of ventilators, The MASH units could hold about 800 beds combined.
My mother served a few times on the Comfort (Navy nurse) and we used to always talk about it back when we'd drive past it when it was stationed in Baltimore. It was always a site to behold the benevolence of the USA.
Tangent comment. I'm interested in names of ships. MERCY and COMFORT are among the best-named ships in the Fleet. Another class of Navy ships has names that sound like Trump named them himself. I'll share them with you.
Thank you sincerely! I gave up after 26 because I just couldnt keep going to sea after that lol. Also, realize that it's possible that you and I crossed paths, but anonymity here will keep us from knowing. About the minesweeps - go back to the classes preceding AVENGER...even better names.
I noped out on re-enlistment. There is one thing about the Navy, either you love it or hate it. Of course we had a Captain at the time who would volunteer us for anything. We spent 9 months of the year at sea.
had a Captain at the time who would volunteer us for anything
I get it. Something that I found was that when I was in a place that I found disagreeable, waiting a few years for orders often cured the problem. Meanwhile, I worked to fix what was broken.
I was a carrier guy myself; served on 3 of them; USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65), USS HARRY S TRUMAN (CVN-75) and USS GEORGE HW BUSH (CVN-77). Thanks to you too! Got to tour a minesweep while in boot camp in 1992 in San Diego. Can't remember which one it was though.
They should torpedo any boats attempting to ferry San Franciscans to her, and feed em to the sharks for all of San Francisco's annual hysterics about the evils of Fleet Week.
Officially, the city councils of SF and Oakland hate Fleet Week. The residents of those wonderful cities have also decried the celebration of "racist militarism" for the past, oh, 6 decades or so. They're also over 90% communist, so why waste valuable resources on non-humans?

This is what I see. I guess I don't understand what you're referencing? Not trying to be argumentative but it looks typical of a ship leaving port. I'm not familiar with ships leaving the East coast as I am with the West coast so I'm asking to be enlightened.
Is it just me or does a hospital ship remind you too much of a cruise ship?
I would hope that a military hospital ship is equipped with a proper negative pressure air system because the military has to be able to deal with e.g. anthrax in wartime. I hope.
There's a PBS documentary, Carrier that's about the USS Nimitz. You'd get a feel for the inside of one of the ships with this, the carrier just has more wide-open spaces for obvious reasons.
A berth is similar to a parking spot for a car, it's the place where the ship is "parked." Also Money can be parked offshore. A Iceberg can be parked offshore. But generally a person who is a professional on the water would say docked/Berthed and if parked offshore would say anchored offshore. Landlubbers calling it parked would not be wrong.
im glad they are getting the relief they need...let this be a reminder to these liberals when they proclaim that out military expenditures are too high. You never know when you need the military and thats the point of keeping them funded.
Did GEOTUS not have a Chinese Virus Task Force Press briefing today separate to this Send Off? I've been trying to find either the live stream or a full video of it in case i already missed it. But the best I can do is the Press Briefing from yesterday.
Seriously? They are keeping people safe who are compromised from other ailments and need to be hospitalized away from the hospital that could bring them death.
Think about it. Hospitals are good at segregating anyone contagious, if need be. Or at opening separate facilities or putting up tents in the parking lot in a serious enough emergency.
This outbreak is nationwide/worldwide. There are only two hospital ships to take these "other compromised patients" and care for them. What are the other cities supposed to do? Chicago and Dallas don't have hospital ships, for example. Have not heard anything about how they should care for their other "compromised" patients.
Not trying to argue with you. It's just that this really doesn't add up. I think there's another reason why those two ships were dispatched specifically to L.A. and N.Y.C. We'll find out soon enough.
We're hoping the ships are being sent to help victims of human trafficking that are finally being freed as part of this operation - mostly children and teenagers. I'd really love to see that happen.
I am not seeing any overloaded hospitals anywhere. Anybody got pics/video/even a reliable eyewitness account?
Even with the H1N1 outbreak, which was way worse, there was no need for hospital ships. So, why now? If you thought you might be bringing out hundreds of kidnapped children, where would be the ideal place to treat them?
I am sure they are going to need them there until at least November.
I’m not sure they’re equipped to handle the influx in TDS cases when Trump wins reelection.
Luna tick outbreak is confirmed in her district.
Her district needs a shitload of pressure washers.....
You're right. The Marines are better equipped to take care of that.
They aren't equipped to take on virus cases. They are just there to treat "normal" hospital cases. From the likes of car crashes and such.
They will only be there to take the pressure off.
Or to take people like comey to Gitmo
Yes, and make their surgical bays available to, as you said, relieve pressure on the NYC hospitals.
That is my understanding
They may actually be using them to house the homeless and get them off drugs. I hope that's true!
Fck the virus, but this is the perfect existing pretext for Trump to roll in and fix the lib-city problems without it looking like he's stepping on anybody's toes.

Name checks out.
We should tell them he painted giant red t’s on them to troll them.
Oh dear
Wish it had MAGA painted on the side big and red too
It should have a YUUUUUGE American flag draped along its sides
That or how about God Bless America
Add TRUMP'S to the name of each ship for extra TDS.
THE USS TRUMP WILL BE ONBOARDING BLUE HAIRED FATTIES IN T-MINUS 60 MINUTES!
Why is child support so expensive?
karen has to pay for her kid's gender studies degree
How do we tackle men getting bent over in child support as part of MAGA?
That ain't changing until we bring manufacturing back home and their work is valued again. Right now there are too many economically and politically disposable men.
Got it. Buy American?
Buying American should be a simple economic choice. Instead, we tax human labor until nobody can afford to do business and help corporations take our innovative work and ship it to places like China; we.have made it both legal.and profitable for companies to be bought out and strip mined for financial business and banks - two of the most worthless places to make a profit.

To most LeftWingNuts it kind of does this is going to cause a lot of REEEEEEEEEEEING.

"The ship is racist because the glare off of the white surface blinds minority children." CNN
Well, an article was once written about air being racist!
So that's why they ID you when you buy canned air.
lmao wtf timeline is this
Fork this pede has a time machine!
Too bad its not the Missouri and the Iowa.

California only needs the Mercy because Gov Jerry Brown throw out all the MASH units in 2012/13 because they cost 6 million a year to maintain. Among the things Brown throw out were thousands of ventilators, The MASH units could hold about 800 beds combined.

Of all the reasons to hate Schwarzenegger he got freaked out enough to actually try and get some disaster planning in place.
Fucking Moonbeam gave us a disaster of a high speed rail money suck instead, I hate all our Governors.
Damn. A bunch of MASH units right now could be both life-saving and entertaining.

You goddamn legend, you.
The People’s Republic of Commiefornia is a rigged, one-party state that ought to be Atlantis’d into the Pacific Ocean

It's a beautiful thought and a beautiful thing, indeed!
And all the liberals will still bitch, whine and complain about them.
When truth has a head on collision with hilarious.
Goddamn them
Such length.
Such girth.
There’s no problem there, believe me.
Donald J Trump
..is President of the United States.
Hell Yeah 🇺🇸
Can I get a third term?
Please.
You should. MSM blocking him for nigh on 4 years, 3 terms is not just fair, its recommended.
Tangent comment. I'm interested in names of ships. MERCY and COMFORT are among the best-named ships in the Fleet. Another class of Navy ships has names that sound like Trump named them himself. I'll share them with you.

I did 20 years in the Navy myself. Always thought the minesweepers had the best names.
THANK YOU for serving. If these are the minesweeper names, then I agree!
For some reason, Dextrous, Avenger, and Chief have a certain appeal to me. God bless them. Especially Dextrous haha.
Thanks, appreciate the support. I was a carrier guy myself. Got to tour a minesweep in boot camp in San Diego.
Thank you sincerely! I gave up after 26 because I just couldnt keep going to sea after that lol. Also, realize that it's possible that you and I crossed paths, but anonymity here will keep us from knowing. About the minesweeps - go back to the classes preceding AVENGER...even better names.

GEOTUS is literally sending Comfort to New York...
New York Times, " White hospital ships are racist. Trump is a racist also."
KEK
They should torpedo any boats attempting to ferry San Franciscans to her, and feed em to the sharks for all of San Francisco's annual hysterics about the evils of Fleet Week.
Does SF not like Fleet Week now? Was always a nice time when I was there.
Officially, the city councils of SF and Oakland hate Fleet Week. The residents of those wonderful cities have also decried the celebration of "racist militarism" for the past, oh, 6 decades or so. They're also over 90% communist, so why waste valuable resources on non-humans?
Ah, I see. Looking back, I was probably hanging with a more conservative crowd who always looked forward to it. Thanks for the info.
I think it's interesting the tracking path of the Comfort after it left port.
What does this even mean? Looks pretty ordinary for a ship leaving port.
Go to the marinetraffic website and track the ship, and look at the path it took.

they are not using it for Covid-19 cases. They are using it for other cases to free up hospitals for Covid-19.
Thanks, I didn't know that.
It's a good plan, but you can break an arm and have COVID at the same time.
Don't be a cutie pie
Best insult ever. Can't stump the Trump.
Death Cab For Cutie Pie
Savage.
Then they’d treat it in the hospital, because they have COVID...it’s not rocket science
But but how am I going to get the specialised treatment I need for my broken arm?
Kek
True. I'm sure they won't put anyone on the ship who hasn't been tested and cleared first.
That's not how testing for a virus works.
You might be infected and not have enough viruses to test positive.
1-2 days later you may be positive and shedding viruses.
There is no foolproof method to keep the virus off a boat. It only takes one person. This is why you should stay away from cruise ships.
The correct answer is - watch the video of inside the hospital ship.
What do you hear throughout the video? Massive fan/air noise.
That's all mass movement of filtered air, like in a manufacturing clean room.
I'm pretty sure the military got this right.
*Chinese flu
I’d love to see inside one. Good thing I’m not in New York or LA or I might be tempted to fake an illness or something so I could get the tour.
There's a PBS documentary, Carrier that's about the USS Nimitz. You'd get a feel for the inside of one of the ships with this, the carrier just has more wide-open spaces for obvious reasons.
They don't give a shit. They're entitled. Watch their feet servants. It's expected of you but never commended.
true!
Two Hospital Ships
Navy should get two more the President Trump and The Melinia.
Fly Trump 2020 blimps so people know where to find the ships.
Parked? Isn’t it “docked”?
yes...it is...doesn't matter. There is a giant reminder every damn day of who's your daddy.
A berth is similar to a parking spot for a car, it's the place where the ship is "parked." Also Money can be parked offshore. A Iceberg can be parked offshore. But generally a person who is a professional on the water would say docked/Berthed and if parked offshore would say anchored offshore. Landlubbers calling it parked would not be wrong.
Username checks out.
Needs a big ass Trump 2020 flag.
To be fair I didn't even know there were hospital ships. That's actually pretty dope.
Those two look so cute together. I'd ship the pair.
I would have shelled those liberal cities first, to soften them up, first, but that's me, I am admittedly not a military strategist.
[joke, people, joke]
If de Blasio and Cuomo keep being dickheads, I'm sure Louisiana could benefit from the hospital ship
Oh wow! I did not know there was such a thing! So cool! KAG! 🇺🇸
"Paradise waits, on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames.
She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame.
Poised for flight, wings spread bright, spring from night into the sun.
Don't stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she can't be outdone."
Im a dude, seeing the US Naval Hospital Ship MERCY does things to me. Patriotism is such an undervalued emotion pedes!
I saw this from Alameda today and thought it was a cruise ship
im glad they are getting the relief they need...let this be a reminder to these liberals when they proclaim that out military expenditures are too high. You never know when you need the military and thats the point of keeping them funded.
Yeah the real reason they are outside of LA and NYC is lost to this sub for some reason
A hospital ship sounds like some sort of badass unit in Command & Conquer.
This is the only ship without an American flag?
? It's there at her bow, my friend - just to the lower right of the huge red cross
An anon noticed something about the ship Trump was having his speech in front of.
If you look above the flags there are windows, with prison bars in front of them.....
strange thing to have on a hospital ship.................
wat, those could be vents or something else entirely
Seriously ... does anyone here NOT think that somehow, they (the liberals) will take this as evidence that they are right.
Lowercase “reeeeeeeee”
I'd prefer the ship SS Vernon C. BAIN
Our POTUS is a POTUS to all Americans in this time of need, not just to the people who support him. The mark of a REAL human being with REAL class.
Surprise...it is gitmo ship, asshoe!
Yeah with that Big Beautiful Red Cross for them to see.
They hate our armed forces til they have to come save their ass.
They fill that up with SJWs and send it to Venzuela we can see what Real Socialism can do for the world.
Did GEOTUS not have a Chinese Virus Task Force Press briefing today separate to this Send Off? I've been trying to find either the live stream or a full video of it in case i already missed it. But the best I can do is the Press Briefing from yesterday.
Watching the videos of these ships gives me a raging freedom boner
Some of us are really, really hoping that the patients these ships are intended for really are there.
They're not coronavirus patients
They're not prisoners
They're not your average accident victim or heart attack sufferer
We are hoping they are the survivors of one of the greatest and most evil tragedies the world has ever known
These secure and private ships would be the ideal places to care for them
and yes, maybe they're anchored right outside two of the most liberal and degenerate regions in our nation for a good reason
sure hoping that's no accident and that mercy and comfort really awaiting these patients
Seriously? They are keeping people safe who are compromised from other ailments and need to be hospitalized away from the hospital that could bring them death.

People seem to be spending too much time isolated near the liquor and medicine cabinets
THAT'S what I forgot to do today.
WWG1WGA
Indeed! Let's hope it's true and this is why those ships are there.
