Not completely but I think it has AP pegged on anything related to Trump or his admin. Which was my point in this case. AP is fine in reporting none politically charged topics I think. But they turn into mouth foaming morons once Trump is invoked. I think Reuters is a better source for politically neutral reporting.Nice graphic. You find it accurate?
BTW here is an update on the trash piece from AP from the same authors. Due to heavy midol usage apparently they have clarified the policy. Even though the commandant stated clearly the claims were false they issued new wording via memorandum. The release also claims it’s not a revised policy. Of course that is going to get buried in the rest of the misleading trash.Nice graphic. You find it accurate?

lol...He's simply playing word games to mislead the low IQ.....look at who fell for it ^^^

Coast Guard denies easing ban on swastikas, nooses amid policy backlash
Admiral Kevin Lunday told Newsweek that symbols like swastikas and nooses "remain prohibited" by the USCG.www.newsweek.com
“The claims that the U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses or other extremist imagery as prohibited symbols are categorically false,” Lunday said.
The statement came in response to a Washington Post report published earlier Thursday, which first revealed that the Coast Guard's revised civil rights manual reclassifies swastikas, nooses and other historically charged imagery as “potentially divisive,” rather than listing them as examples of “hate incidents,” as had been done in the prior 2023 guidance.
The controversy comes as the Coast Guard published its updated civil rights policy, reclassifying certain hate-related imagery as “potentially divisive.” The move comes amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to roll back military guidance related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Anyone who takes the word of a trump appointed official as the ultimate truth and "final word" is an IDIOT.
If you actually look at the words, you'll see that the Washington Post clearly stated "would no longer be classified as hate incidents" which is 100% true.
If you continue to read closely, you will see that Lunday in no way denies that claim.
What the Washington Post reported it true. Simple as that!
No. Just curious on your thoughts.Not completely but I think it has AP pegged on anything related to Trump or his admin. Which was my point in this case. AP is fine in reporting none politically charged topics I think. But they turn into mouth foaming morons once Trump is invoked. I think Reuters is a better source for politically neutral reporting.
Are there specific instances you want to cover?
I understand the fight. But I don't care about it.BTW here is an update on the trash piece from AP from the same authors. Due to heavy midol usage apparently they have clarified the policy. Even though the commandant stated clearly the claims were false they issued new wording via memorandum. The release also claims it’s not a revised policy. Of course that is going to get buried in the rest of the misleading trash.
Luther will of course claim this as vindication. Even though it has been stated multiple times the penalties for using the indicated symbols had never changed. Which was the point all along. But he will of course claim his is misunderstood. Again. Just like every other time.
Note the date of this update. Evening of Nov 20. Before this whole latest stupidity from Luther began. And the commandant had already stated the claim was false. His tweet was 1:58PM Nov 20. And what was issued was a clarifying memorandum.

Coast Guard reverses course on policy to call swastikas and nooses 'potentially divisive'
The U.S. Coast Guard has released a new, firmer policy addressing the display of hate symbols like swastikas and nooses just hours after it was publicly revealed that it made plans to describe them as “potentially divisive” — a term that prompted outcry from lawmakers and advocates.apnews.com
I went and did a lengthy edit but botched the formatting so I’ll just link it here. (I fixed the edit but I’ll leave this also)I understand the fight. But I don't care about it.
I don't care what the person believes in their personal life as long as they do the job and apply their efforts equally even with those at odds to their personal beliefs.

That’s all most people have left. It happens a lot when you identify with a team instead of having a belief systemDo you really believe that in terms of diagnosed mental illnesses, that any one political "leaning" or "persuasion" is more susceptible than another?
I mean I disagree with ole Monty on a lot (especially on this forum but like his fishing posts), and that's perfectly okay, but to automatically label anyone who disagrees with you as a "leftist" or a "radical" is ridiculous.
I didn't indicate that in any manner. But an alleged affair vs known multiple affairs,what moral ground are you claiming?Which helped with his connection to Monroe’s death. Are you now endorsing a sitting President having affairs? Not very Christian like.
Point is wealth buys you privilege in many ways…bone spurs, asthma or even murder. Him being a skipper in the navy is admirable for sure in 1943, 3 years before Trump was born.I didn't indicate that in any manner. But an alleged affair vs known multiple affairs,what moral ground are you claiming?
I only pointed out trump is liar who was able to avoid military service due to wealth, JFK stepped up when his country called.
The Coast Guard planned to change how it described swastikas and nooses. Then came the outcry and an updated policy
The U.S. Coast Guard has released a new, firmer policy addressing the display of hate symbols like swastikas and nooses just hours after it was publicly revealed that it made plans to describe them as “potentially divisive” — a term that prompted outcry from lawmakers and advocates.
The late-night change came on the same day that media outlets, led by The Washington Post, discovered that the Coast Guard had written a policy earlier this month that called those same symbols “potentially divisive.” The term was a shift from a years-long policy, first rolled out in 2019, that said symbols like swastikas and nooses were “widely identified with oppression or hatred” and called their display “a potential hate incident.”

The conclusions SHOULD be obvious.

JFK wouldn't get out of the primaries in your clown show party. He's a Republican now.I didn't indicate that in any manner. But an alleged affair vs known multiple affairs,what moral ground are you claiming?
