Wow! Duckworth blocks all military promotions until Esper states in writing he won’t interfere with

[Irwin Corey]

Treason.

Yes, Donnie Dugout has committed Treason many times.

 

[armycowboy]

Hello?

Evidently the CEC left out explaining how he committed treason, when they were ginning up the toadies.

 

[countryboy]

How did he commit treason? It's a serious crime, only one mentioned directly in the Constitution. So tell us, what treason did Lt. Col Vindman commit by testifying under oath to a Congressional committee?

He was an active participant in an attempted coup to overthrow the duly elected President of the United States.

 

[countryboy]

No, he hasn't. No amount of voices in your head, or sophomoric monikers can make it so.

An attempted coup? Explain how testifying in a totally Constitutional Congressional hearing is an attempted coup? Haven't you ever read the Constitution?

It's a sad indication when trump cultists are so ignorant when it comes to how our three branches of government interact...particularly in checks and balances. They are SOOOOOOOOOO wanting their lard and master to be a dictator.

 

[Irwin Corey]

No, he hasn't. No amount of voices in your head, or sophomoric monikers can make it so.

No amount of obfuscation by Barr can hide it.

Oh yeah, it's ****ing hilarious.

As if libs give a **** about the Constitution. Good one.

Barr hasn't obfuscated anything. But great job regurgitating the issued talking points.

 

[armycowboy]

All the libs I served with for over 20 years certainly did.

Maybe they did, but if they, and you align with the Democrat Party of today, it's all out the window.

 

[Jean-s]

As expected, Sen. Duckworth once again demonstrates the massive stupidity of Democrats and their hatred towards the military.

Only Congress has the power to create and promote military officers, not Secretaries of Defense. There is absolutely nothing the Secretary of Defense can do to prohibit or advance anyone's promotion, other than making a recommendation. All the power resides with Congress.

This is merely a stunt by Sen. Duckworth. Just another leftist Democrat scumbag causing harm to all those who deserve to be promoted in order to try to score some political points.

Given the ignorance of Donald Trump regarding all matters and his record of retaliating against his perceived enemies who surround him, we should not put it past him to order Mark Esper to make sure Vindman does not get a promotion. Sen. Duckworth is right to require in writing that this did not nor will not happen.

 

[armycowboy]

Maybe they did, but if they, and you align with the Democrat Party of today, it's all out the window.

I imagine some partisan hacks actually believe this drivel.

 

[Bodecea]

Interesting comment when you go on about an attempted coup, showing us that you have no idea how the Constitution's checks and balances work. Now.....tell us how this is an "attempted coup".

 

[AmNat]

In Basic Training, acting as Platoon Leader is a form of training. Every recruit does it.

She's making an analogy, arguing that Vindman should be promoted in the same way, because it's his turn.

 

[Bodecea]

I imagine some partisan hacks actually believe this drivel.

Because they are in a cult.

 

[Risky Thicket]

Well someone just got scratched off the Biden VP list.

I just found another reason to support Duckworth as VP.

 

[Threegoofs]

Where did I say he shouldn't get a trial?

Generally, one first determines guilt before hanging someone.

It’s kinda the basis for our justice system. It’s what real Americans do- you wouldn’t know.

Guess you’re more of a fan of lynching.

No surprise there

 

[justabubba]

Repeating a lie won't magically make it come true. He was subpoenaed.

Here's the chairman of the committee, saying as much at the start of his testimony:

In light of attempts by the administration to direct witnesses not to cooperate with the inquiry, including efforts to limit witness testimony, the committee had no choice but to compel your appearance today . We thank you for complying with the duly authorized congressional subpoena

yea, like facts will convince him

So it's wrong for Trump to prevent a promotion, but it's OK for Duckworth to do it? Hypocrite.

I loved the whole Drury series! Great writer, deep books.

Vindman has already been selected for promotion by the Department of the Army.

The only partisan hack in this exchange is you. Your party has gone extreme left. If you can't see it, you're literally blind.
