How do you propose Senate Democrat's block? Even if 47-0 against they will still sail through. Filibuster is not in play.

#25, Kind of like driving past a roll-over accident crawling with EMS. I just can't help but gawk.

stupid.....coitus....manure. I like that. Reminds me of MIL calling someone a soil sphere. We have morphed it into fecal sphere.

Easy now, Boaz realizes he is eligible to lead the DOD. He is a retired major, bonus, still has his security clearance; unlike most nominees.
He should send his posting history to the transition team, and he could be assisted secretary of defense.

He'll be laying the temple cornerstone by Feb 1.

Agree Lee, I saw the headline and assumed it was an Onion article. I haven't read the onion for a while because MAGA headlines were so much more bizarre.

I don't care how pleasing the soap is in the restaurant's bathroom, don't be sniffing your fingers when you walk out.

Remember Tuberville's adventure in holding up military promotions? That affected the reserves and guard as well.

Maybe a minor detail Tor, but N.G. rank has to be conferred by the Pentagon.
I waited two years after the state approved the promotion to go from Major to LTC.

Switching to a National Guard position is highly unlikely. Flag rank is rare and tends to come up through the ranks within the state. I've never served under an AG (adjutant general) that came from the active duty except for a few that went to West Point went to the N.G. after active service, coming in no higher than a Captain.
I would expect several will take their retirement, security clearance and head for corporate merica.

Shane, Monday and Tuesday went well, until it didn't. I thought maybe it might get the same lack of mod word that the midday day thread did.

Clown, fairly frequent theme in Science Fiction, old and new, but I thought it was odd to show up in my dream. Almost a nightmare having that old coot back in my consciousness.

Everyone knows that if you can command an Army Company, you would be qualified to manage DOD.
If the intent is to purge anyone that is not loyal then he will be quite qualified.

A Captain/Major has a very different view than a COL/General. Also, a Col/General was once a Captain and hopefully they kept those lessons learned.

Those that were LTs and Captains in Vietnam took those lessons to heart and changed the services. General Schwarzkopf comes to mind.

She did control the border with Canada

Wrong Dakota.

Yep, see my 24.

Looks like neither of us are getting any traction today. RIP nooner.

I couldn't find the Venn diagram for students at college campuses and MAGA, but there are people that belong to both.

Oh good grief. Ignore my geography gaffe.

Why would you think the Trump camp cares about qualifications?

She did control the border with Canada and Minnesota. None of them got in.

Probably a false flag, the same people controlling space lasers and setting wildfires in California.

I'm still holding out for a civil thread. I'm not holding my breath, can't get much bluer than I already am. ;)

Then why did you call Shane and I MagatScum? Look at our posting history.

The USA desperately needs Universal Healthcare. We're the only First World country without it. I doubt I'll see it in my lifetime; but it'll eventually come.

Unless you are outraged, grinding teeth 24/7 you are Magatscum in TH's world.

Haven't heard anything from Malaria, but she won't visit Jill Biden because, reportedly, the FBI rummaged through her underwear drawer on Dark Brandon's orders.
