You Will Address Me as Sir or Ensign Priebus
from What a Hell of a Way to Dad
Okay, seriously, what the hell--apparently Reince Priebus (former Trump Chief of Staff) has joined the Navy as an O-1… at age 47. We're confused, but hey, there's time enough to give him a red belly. Read that story here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/former-trump-chief-of-staff-reince-priebus-joins-the-navy/2019/06/10/20174f2a-8bbf-11e9-8f69-a2795fca3343_story.html?utm_term=.0d8e5712f012 We also discuss the story of the Naval War College's Commandant, a Navy Rear Admiral with a penchant for day-drinking margaritas. Is this fraud, waste, and abuse? Or is it just this guy being a badass?

Weird flex for a haunted turtle from Dimension X, but okay: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2019/05/20/younger-troops-would-be-barred-from-buying-tobacco-products-under-new-plan/ This week's Patreon bonus features Francis talking Star Trek with Riley Dosh (@Ms_Riley_Guprz).
