Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) announced Wednesday she will continue to hold 1,123 military promotions until she gets answers on Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman’s promotion, despite him choosing to retire.

Last week, Duckworth announced she would block Senate confirmation of 1,123 senior military officers until Defense Secretary Mark Esper confirmed in writing that he would not block Vindman’s promotion to colonel.

What's the big deal tammy. Just pre date his promotion once you're vp. Obviously she also suffered some mental stability issues when her chopper was shot down. Respecting the service and sacrifice can only get you so far tammy. Now you've proven you're no better than the traitorous vindman. See if john f'n kohn-hienz-kerry can toss some medals over the fence at the white house for you. Or, as the presumptive rip van biden might say: "Stand up Tammy. DOH! Lord love ya."

She thinks her action is righteous, but she doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

This explains everything.

Has Ms. Duckworth forgotten the 1200+ men she is neglecting are trained killers.

Nice to know that one Senator from the Minority Party holds so much power to undermine the POTUS.

Why don’t any of our Guys and Gals pull this crap when a Rat is in the White House?

[elcid1970]

From where does this BITCH derive the power to block promotions!!?

[blueunicorn6]

Tammy’s a Karen.

[Gay State Conservative]

If this dame thinks she's gonna be Vice President she doesn't have a leg to stand on.

And BTW...anyone who thinks my post is improper just remember that Juan McLame was wounded in combat...as was Bo Bergdahl.

As a vet I find her treasonous political games nauseating. The fact that her constituents (who are our supposed fellow couuntrymen) seem OK with it is particularly disturbing.

[rktman]

I think PDJT should start using it myself.

[DarthVader]

She really can’t do a thing! More bloviation!

[Gay State Conservative]

Ooops...didn’t notice your post before writing mine.Great minds think alike.

“From where does this BITCH derive the power to block promotions!!?”

The rules of the Senate.

[treetopsandroofs]

Fair enough. Our domestic enemies say worse about Trump EVERY DAY.

She doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

Bad Boy. Go stand in a corner for a minute!

Agree to it, Mr. Secretary, then bust him down to private.
