Washington — The Senate Armed Services Committee approved an amendment to the annual military spending bill that would require the Defense Department to change the names of military bases and assets named for Confederate leaders.
A source familiar with the proceedings confirmed to CBS News that the GOP-led panel on Wednesday approved the amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) offered by Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts via voice vote. According to a summary of the NDAA released by the committee Thursday, the measure requires the Defense Department to rename posts and assets — streets, aircraft, ships, and other equipment — either named for Confederate officers or that honor the confederacy within three years.

I thought the Senate was controlled by Republicans?
I’m open to naming a base after President Trump.
Nah, they’re just wearing the red costumes this time around. They lost a bet.*
*JUST KIDDING!.. IT’S A JOKE!.. /S.. ;)!
Please don’t “present”! Lol
My point was that the GOP kowtows to the big money interests that fund it. They control the party. We cannot compete with their powerful resources. Its always all about money.
The DC Swamp, including the GOP, hated Trump because he’s not beholden to anyone and therefore they couldn’t control him. Worse, his supporters actually want and expect the GOP to be responsive to the president and to support his agenda. On top of that, Trump EXPOSED the sleaziness of everyone in DC.
There is absolutely no way the forces that own the GOP are ever going to allow Trump and his supporters to take control of their party. Make no mistake, they fear and loathe us.
Sounds good.
Or maybe after my brother, Pfc. Charles Corrigan, who gave his life in the Battle of Saipan.
He survived the three days of combat, only to be shot by a Japanese sniper as he carried a wounded comrade back from the front line.
Not a southerner, but he did his basic training in Georgia.
Let’s change the United States of America (U.S.A.) to the United Snowflake States of America (U.S.S.A.).
Voice vote - All Repukes who voted for this need to be exposed. Trump will not sign anything with this in it.

If he ran third party he would have lost. He’s cleaned out a lot of the Repub slime, still has some left to get cleaned.
Dang, if we only had the majority in the Senate, think what
we could get done.
It has been suggested that we should rename as many as 10 of our Legendary Military Bases, such as Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Benning in Georgia, etc. These Monumental and very Powerful Bases have become part of a Great American Heritage, and a...— Donald J.

...history of Winning, Victory, and Freedom. The United States of America trained and deployed our HEROES on these Hallowed Grounds, and won two World Wars. Therefore, my Administration will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 10, 2020
...Our history as the Greatest Nation in the World will not be tampered with. Respect our Military!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 10, 2020
Unfortunately Repukes did vote for it but Trump will never sign it. I wonder what else needs to happen to actually add this to the spending bill.
Seriously failed presidential candidate, Senator Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren, just introduced an Amendment on the renaming of many of our legendary Military Bases from which we trained to WIN two World Wars. Hopefully our great Republican Senators won’t fall for this!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 11, 2020
The usual suspects.
“...the GOP led panel...”
Can kiss my ass.
Did he ever actually declare Antifa a terrorist organization? I never heard about that.
Hawley says he voted NAY, likewise Cotton.
FWIW.
Veto it immediately! GOP are fools!
Trump has said he won’t ever sign it! Those base names have historical relevance, men were trained there to fight two world wars.
I don’t see any Republicans
Thank you.
Morons!
And NO that is not a joke-- this WILL come to blows. Count on it.
