Duckworth vows to block over 1,000 military confirmations until Pentagon proves Vindman will be promoted

[Nostra]

I want to know how the junior Senator from Illinois on the minority side of the aisle thinks she can block Senate confirmation for these military personnel?

Fillibuster, bitches!!!

Mitch can just make her speak constantly for her filibuster then. I wonder how long she would last?

 

[Nostra]

You really should not compare military records for presidents of candidates. Democrats always come up short. Obama never served and Clinton actually dodged the draft.

W and Trump both dodged the draft.

W was in the military, and Trump had the same deferment Biden had, you raving lunatic.

Fillibuster, bitches!!!

They can only filibuster for so many hours bitch!
And get your fucking spelling correct if you know how.

Ah, the spelling and grammar NAZI is here. Someone who uses the expression "get your fucking spelling correct if you know how" is in no position to police others on ANYTHING, related to presentation.

But here's the issue. You post like you think this is a winning issue for the American public. They'll believe President Trump that this is a hoax. THE MILITARY LEADERS IN AFGHANISTAN WERE TOLD OF THIS.

THE AMERICAN MILITARY LEADERSHIP, IS AWARE OF THIS. TRUMP HAS JUST LOST THE MILITARY VOTE.

THERE IS A REASON WHY REPUBLICAN SENATORS CONTINUALLY SAY "NO COMMENT" WHEN ASKED TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC.

W was in the military, and Trump had the same deferment Biden had, you raving lunatic.

W was in the National Guard for the Coast Guard. That's where they send the son of the Speaker of the House to keep him from getting his head shot off.

I knew a kid who "worked his way through college" working for our law firm. His job was to keep our Fearless Leader's 36 ft. sailboat clean, provisioned, ship shape, and ready to head out on Lake Ontario at a moment's notice, and to crew for the lawyer if and when he took the boat out. The kid "tested" the boat at least once a week, with his friend(s) as crew. This also helped him "dispose" of any food which might go bad. The boat slept 6, so he basically lived at the Island Yacht Club all summer long, so he could come to our office quickly (he lived in the outer burbs).

Our summer student worked his way through college spending his summer living on a 36' yacht, berthed at the Island Yacht Club and taking his friends sailing once a week. He came into the office on the 15th and the 30th, to help me with closings at the Registry Office. W's "military service" was just like Winkie's working his way through college.

Duckworth vows to block over 1,000 military confirmations until Pentagon proves Vindman will be promoted

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., on Thursday announced her intention to block Senate confirmation for 1,123 senior U.S. Armed Forces promotions until Defense Secretary Mark Esper confirms he will not block the "expected and deserved" promotion of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., on Thursday announced her intention to block Senate confirmations for 1,123 senior U.S. Armed Forces promotions until Defense Secretary Mark Esper confirms he will not block the "expected and deserved" promotion of Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman.
~~Snip~~
In a statement, Duckworth, also an Iraq War veteran who served as a helicopter pilot, accused Trump of trying to politicize the armed forces.
"Our military is supposed to be the ultimate meritocracy," she said. "It is simply unprecedented and wrong for any Commander in Chief to meddle in routine military matters at all, whether or not he has a personal vendetta against a Soldier who did his patriotic duty and told the truth-a Soldier who has been recommended for promotion by his superiors because of his performance.”
Duckworth said she will back off her promise if Esper confirms in writing that he will not block Vindman's promotion to Colonel.


Comment:
Ms. Duckworth..., No need to blackmail Mark Esper. You should know that Mark Esper doesn't have to do a thing and Vindman will be passed over in any case. He's shown political bias previously and his testimony was his death noll for promotion.

When? I can’t think of another president that has actively interfered in the military’s justice system, and maybe promotion, if that occurs. Regardless of Party they respect the chain of command and the internal processes that lead to their decisions. Honestly...I am astounded you would be ok with that. This president has managed to corrupt every institution he touches as if it were his personal property.

Duckworth is the one threatening to destroy the careers of 1000 military people, and you have no problem with that, hypocrite.

First off, if Trump interferes in his promotion, it is destroying his career. Is that ok with you? Political interference in internal military matters?

Second, holding up promotions is not destroying anyone’s career. It is not denying anyone a promotion, which direct political interference certainly would do.

Make over 1,000 military service men and woman suffer for political reasons, yeah that sounds like a Dem. Tell her to rot in hell.

How are they suffering? Are they being denied a promotion? Wouldn’t it be worse to go forward and the. Have direct political interference in the process?

Think beyond your TDS hatred for a change. It would corrupt every promotion. The process would seen as unfair and political. Very dangerous.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., on Thursday announced her intention to block Senate confirmations for 1,123 senior U.S. Armed Forces promotions until Defense Secretary Mark Esper confirms he will not block the "expected and deserved" promotion of Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman.
~~Snip~~
In a statement, Duckworth, also an Iraq War veteran who served as a helicopter pilot, accused Trump of trying to politicize the armed forces.
"Our military is supposed to be the ultimate meritocracy," she said. "It is simply unprecedented and wrong for any Commander in Chief to meddle in routine military matters at all, whether or not he has a personal vendetta against a Soldier who did his patriotic duty and told the truth-a Soldier who has been recommended for promotion by his superiors because of his performance.”
Duckworth said she will back off her promise if Esper confirms in writing that he will not block Vindman's promotion to Colonel.


Comment:
Ms. Duckworth..., No need to blackmail Mark Esper. You should know that Mark Esper doesn't have to do a thing and Vindman will be passed over in any case. He's shown political bias previously and his testimony was his death noll for promotion.

DOD civilians, service members must remain non-partisan, apolitical

Surveys show Americans respect the U.S. military more than most institutions in the country, in part, because it is viewed as non-partisan.

So now Democrats are adding BLACKMAIL / EXTORTION of the US Military on top of all of their other proven crimes in attempting to affect yet another coup attempt...

Unbelievable.

.

The president interfering in the process In the first place for personal political reasons is wrong. He has no right to destroy a person’s career out of vengeance.

Yet you clowns don't seem to mind doing it...go figure.

When? I can’t think of another president that has actively interfered in the military’s justice system, and maybe promotion, if that occurs. Regardless of Party they respect the chain of command and the internal processes that lead to their decisions. Honestly...I am astounded you would be ok with that. This president has managed to corrupt every institution he touches as if it were his personal property.

So your saying it has to be done by a president and has to pertain to the military? Not exactly what I said.

He is still a General in the Army, idiot.

How is his career destroyed?
