"A major branch of the US military does not have a Senate confirmed leader for the first time in more than a century, as a result of a Republican senator refusing to lift his block on military nominations."

"Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. David Berger relinquished command on Monday after holding a private retirement ceremony, after more than 40 years of service. His successor, Gen. Eric Smith, has not yet been confirmed to take over due to the hold on senior military nominations by Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville."

I'm sure Rich, Greg and the other cons would be happy to vote for Tommy...

You seem to be talking to yourself on this one...... 6 or so posts about this guy with no responses..... are you also looking in a mirror while you rant and rave about him?

I think his stupid actions are a reflection of those who support him and Trump, ie generally those of the Republican party. That sound like you, greg?...

Yeah, I'm assuming here.

Agreed, but I bet he actually reads the regurgitated right wingnut posts from our resident dick that take up half a web page or more. He probably looks forward to them. That's where he get his "news" along with the right wing blogs he reads and the right wing radio stations he listens to...

Well, it's evident he doesn't "think" and Greg's usual excuse is that he doesn't know anything about it. So, twice nothing is still nothing...

That's what Greg knows!

That's how a Trumptoid thinks. So why would we expect Greg to behave any different? Why would we expect him to read anything other than a right wing blog or listen to anything but a right wing radio station? Anything else that contradicts either one is either "BS" or F-you!" It's how they roll...

Greg is the perfect of example of this on the AM forum...

Coming back on topic, check out Tommy's latest bush league move: cryout that nobody from the administration has called HIM, and yell that's what's really holding up the show! Well, secretary of defense had to call HIM three times before he'd answer the phone and, of course, neither he or any REPUBLICAN would alter course even after Tommy HIMSELF acknowledged the military officers and their important positions are  being unfairly targeted by...HIM!
In other words, what would a dick do?...

"Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said Wednesday that he does not support Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Ala.) blanket hold on more than 180 non-political military promotions, which Democrats say is keeping qualified people out of key roles."
"Tuberville has held up the promotions of 184 general and flag officers for weeks to protest the Defense Department’s abortion policy of providing paid leave and travel reimbursements to service members who have to cross state lines to obtain abortions and fertility treatments."
"The GOP leader’s comments came after seven former secretaries of Defense sent a letter to the Senate last week warning the hold on promotions is “harming military readiness and risks damaging U.S. national security.”
"Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also blasted the broad hold as “irresponsible” and “unprecedented” in a separate letter. 
“This indefinite hold harms America’s national security and hinders the Pentagon’s normal operations,” Austin warned. “The longer that this hold persists, the greater the risk the U.S. military runs in every theater, every domain, and every Service.” "

So, how say you on the Tommy Tuberville blockade, yay or nay?...

As the FBI stated, they're bound by strict justice department guidelines. And, they don't traffic in publicizing false allegations at the behest of a politician with his own  agenda which includes an actual big flat smokescreen that Greg fell for as soon as he heard it.
Oh well, Lol! Another mindless comment from Greg...
