Port of L.A. engineer intentionally derailed train in attempted attack on USNS Mercy, federal prosecutors say
HuhA train engineer at the Port of Los Angeles is facing federal charges for allegedly charging a locomotive off tracks toward the USNS Mercy, which he suspected is tied to a government plot, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.
Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro, was handed over to FBI agents Wednesday and charged with one count of train wrecking in Tuesday's derailment, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles.
Moreno admitted he purposefully ran the train off the end of its tracks at full speed near the hospital ship in two separate interviews, officials said.
He allegedly told investigators he believed the ship — which docked at the port last week to relieve strain on area hospitals during the coronavirus outbreak — had a secret purpose related to COVID-19 or a government takeover.

I love that Train Wrecking is a legitimate statutory charge.

Trump calling COVID the enemy so he can refer to himself as a wartime president bugs me.

So he’s in the task force AND managing Trumps campaign? Is there nothing this wonderboy can’t do?https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/us/p ... trump.htmlWhy is Kushner anywhere near this?Kushner Puts Himself in the Middle of the White House’s Chaotic Coronavirus Response
President Trump’s son-in-law has become a central player in the White House effort to curb the pandemic. But critics say he is part of the problem.

It would be nice if he took that to heart, in terms of mobilizing the federal bureaucracy, instead of just a chance to say "I'm a Wartime President™".Trump calling COVID the enemy so he can refer to himself as a wartime president bugs me.

Wall of text regarding the covid-19 miracle cure. What's up with the right and miracle cures? All that garbage that Alex Jones sells. Pat Robertson and his Sea of Galilee water.

That seems wild to me. Over a million dollars spent golfing, and 350 days at his resorts since he took office.Trump has spent more than 350 days at his properties since taking office, according to the outlet's count, which has cost taxpayers more than $620,000.
The Secret Service alone has spent more than $420,000 on golf cart rentals alone since Trump took office.

The Captain of the USS Roosevelt was relieved of duties after going public with the situation on his aircraft carrier. Insubordination, obviously.
Here's how his crew responded to his leaving:

Privately, Republicans admit that the $77.9 million system that is now failing Florida workers is doing exactly what Scott designed it to do — lower the state’s reported number of jobless claims after the great recession.
“It’s a sh-- sandwich, and it was designed that way by Scott,” said one DeSantis advisor. “It wasn’t about saving money. It was about making it harder for people to get benefits or keep benefits so that the unemployment numbers were low to give the governor something to brag about.”

I don't think that's that bad IMO. That's over 4 years. Every president participates in leisure activities, they are human too.https://www.salon.com/2020/04/03/secret ... ic-report/

I read the book Five Presidents written by agent Clint Hill who protected 5 presidents. He stated in the book they were constantly at vacation homes, out golfing, boating, etc. He said Eisenhower golfed almost every day it didn't rain.

I know I'll get accused of wrong-teaming, but it seems wild to me that anyone would care about a million dollars...didn't they literally just print $1.3 trillion out of the clear blue sky or some such...? If it costs us a million dollars to stop him from getting in the way and doing dumb things, I say make it two million...either way, math guy here, that's probably less than a penny per person is it not...? Sold.https://www.salon.com/2020/04/03/secret ... ic-report/

Anecdotally, sometimes it's tough to distinguish how far apart these numbers are...
A million seconds is like 11 and a half days...
A billion seconds is like 32 years...
A trillion seconds is over 31,000 years...

It's more the fact that this money is going from the Secret Service and into Trump's own pockets via his properties. This is the guy who makes a big deal about donating his salary, after all.
And this $1M is only Secret Service costs. The actual total from other agencies, etc. is well over one hundred million dollars.

I think the wrong point was taken - Presidential Salary while in office, the U.S. president receives a salary of $400,000 a year and a $50,000 expense account.It's more the fact that this money is going from the Secret Service and into Trump's own pockets via his properties.

I'd be curious how much more was spent on food/beverages, random activities.
Also, I'd kill to have an entire year off in 4 years, while racking salary lol.
Then add on all the funny money being reserved at his towers via the Saudis and whoever else wants his business. I bet he's cleared a TON of money into his own company.
