    It took forever for the commandant to be filled due to tuberville stupid blockage on promotions, now that the commandant goes down, we see that the no.2 spot is fking unfilled.

    I chuckle when I see Republicans proudly express their loyalty to our country and support for the military and u see Republicans actively allowing 1 senator to block the promotions of uniformed officers.

    Putin and dip$hit went to dinner and Putin ordered a rare steak.

    The waitress asked, "And for your vegetable?"

    He said, "He wants his steak well done."

    It took forever because Schumer never brought any of the promotions to the floor for a vote. In fact, Tuberville is the one who forced the issue to have anyone brought to the floor for a vote, Schumer was happy to never do it. It takes less than an hour to take a roll call vote. The whole idea that one Senator can stop any promotions that require Senate approval indefinitely is preposterous. All his hold can do is make it more tedious.

    The Senate majority leader could bring the nominations to the floor one by one for consideration by regular procedure, but that would require two to three days for each. There's like hundreds to do, it's literally a waste of time which can be spend doing other tasks.

    How come his Republicans senators aren't persuading him to stand down? Playing with uniform service lives bc his stupid stance on abortion

    Interesting that she inherited Thanos's jawline but none of his intellect or gravitas.

    But seriously, these people need to be greeted with more and more scorn and laughter. They've entered the theater of the absurd several lies ago.

    Time and time again I find it funny how a self proclaimed Libartarian is ALWAYS defending the actions of the GOP.

    At least he can sleep at night knowing it's not a lie if he believes it. The rest of us aren't fooled though.

    Its an easy answer... maga republicans want to hurt the public school system and reward wealthy people sending their kids to privates schools. And farmers... republicans don't care them at all about them.

    I defend the truth against lies. If I see people lying about Democrats, I will post the truth about that. I have also repeatedly criticized the GOP. I don't like either of your idiot factions, they are both the parties of big government. The fact is that all of the promotions Tuberville has been holding up could have gotten through by now. Tuberville likes the optics of opposing the pro-abortion policy. Schumer likes the optics of both supporting the pro-abortion policy and talking about how evil Tuberville is for holding up military promotions. It is all theater. I'm sorry you can't see it.
