I would bet that the Army Secretary’s character and credibility is W-A-Y better than Kelly’s. Kelly is a scoundrel, a liar, and a self-serving POS. Why didn’t Kelly come out a whole lot earlier, when it would have been useful?
He’s already been nominated for a few of those.
Every time I see this I say “Dementia will do that to a person. Regression to toddler-time. Toilet training will fail next, and then there will be total babbling.”
Was watching Machete on the train. It reminds me of Trump. A must watch.
No to be outdone by The Man that Killed Hitler and then the Bigfoot.
Sure, some of that is standard service bling, but things like the Purple Heart and the CIB are noteworthy because you don’t get those unless you’ve been shot at for real.
Unlike …
Go right to Major General. Brigadier General is for people like Custer. 1 Bird. Kind of honorary designation. If I were running the show (thankfully, I am not) I’d give him 4 stars out of the gate.
Know nothing about McCarthy, but whether he intends it or not he’s just landed a solid blow on Trump. Either Trump lets it go, and ends up looking like a girly-man (instead of “Mr. Man” as Rush Limbaugh puts it), or Trump hulks out and attacks the military, for the second time in a couple of months (and John Kelly has just recently reminded us that they are paying attention), and earns tons of ill will from the military, veterans, and their families. Betting heavily on the latter.
Way to give your voting base the finger, Donnie.
Only you, dear.
The best question is, what would they investigate?
Yeah, transparency is a bitch.
Mcabe case dismissed, Army Secretary Confirms That Vindman Will Not Be Investigated,Losing,Losing ,Losing.And the night is still young.
I wonder who is going to write the Colonel’s OER…?
I’d forgotten about him. He’s at least as qualified for the job as Sondland was for his appt.
Lots of those ribbons and medals stuff are called “chest candy.” Nice to use the vernacular… But the big ones are for real.
It strikes me that part of the problem here is that the people who are running scared of Trump are mainly men because men aren’t used to dealing with toddlers having tantrums.
That’s one reason Nancy is so effective in dealing with him.
Since when has not having any basis for an investigation ever stopped this administration? Vindman pissed Trump off and now Cadet Bonespurs wants revenge. That’s all that matters to Trumpster minions.
We’ll see how long the Army Secretary’s statement stands.
Yes, to this!! (nannybot went into a snit. probably because it’s Valentines Day, and no one to snuggle with). What I said was YES!!!
IMHO LTC Vindman deserves a medal.
So Vishnu believes in collective punishment… who knew?
Karma is a lot more complicated than people think it is. For one thing the time frame that it is believed to work in is immense - kalpas upon kalpas.
Yup. Trump could be Karma kicking all of us descendants of Eve for her taking the apple…
(Does seem rather a proportionate response, all things considered, if that’s the case)
