"As the civilian leaders of the , , , & , we are proud to work alongside exceptional military leaders...

These officers... are the foundation of America’s enduring advantage.

Alabama Senator, Tommy is a threat to and for blocking leadership confirmations due to his absolutely ridiculous protest of Pentagon . The US is without a leader for the first time in 164 years. SecDef Lioyd Astin stated, “I don’t have an abortion policy. I have an access to non-covered reproductive healthcare policy … and I think that’s an important policy.”

“The idea that we don’t have a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the idea that we have all these promotions & we don’t know what’s going to happen, the idea that we’re injecting into fundamental foreign policy decisions what, in fact, is a domestic social debate is bizarre,” Pres said in response to a reporter’s question.

It’s not every day when a former White House chief of staff implicates a former president — under penalty of perjury — in an impeachable offense!

Reminder: just another asshat.

John Kelly was NOT the “adult in the room” to save America. He kept his mouth shut while crimes were happening. He waited until he wrote a book and wanted to sell it before he spoke out.
