Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) announced Thursday that she would block the promotions of 1,123 senior military officers until Defense Secretary Mark Esper promises that he will promote Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who is believed to have communicated with the “whistleblower” that sparked Trump’s impeachment.

Her office called the move “unprecedented” but said it came in response to reports of “political interference in military matters” by Trump — the commander in chief.

Light Col POS Vindman should be up on 'conduct unbecoming' charges at the very least.

[Ann Archy]

I’d like to promote him to SAN QUENTIN!

[Cowboy Bob]

One Senator can block the Commander in Chief?

[SkyDancer]

Dem’s elevating a traitor to hero status.

[Hulka]

If so, then LTC North should be retroactively promoted to full colonel.

Is Tammy the Lesbian??

[CMailBag]

Her intent is to help the Gov save a bunch of $$$..snort

[glorgau]

No problem. There is nothing that will make the rest of the military hate him more.

[stockpirate]

He should have been court marshaled.

Yep, Ollie is one. There was also a Blue Angels officer denied promotion.

[Flavious_Maximus]

... and then executed by firing squad.

Duckworthless should know that extortion is a criminal offense.

[Leaning Right]

I can’t be too critical of Sen. Duckworth here (if that’s even her real name). For many years now I’ve been spearheading a campaign to get Brigadier General Amos Halftrack promoted to major general.

And I’ve gotten nowhere. The Pentagon will not even answer my mail. So yes. Sometimes you have to put up a fuss to get them to pay attention.

Methinks Ms. Duckworth (along with many other Congressional D’s) should be investigated for ties to the current radical-Marxist-Democrat-Antifa-BLM revolution taking place in the country’s Bleu areas.

[an amused spectator]

Duckworthless has got hers.

Now she's denying raises and pension increases to serving military.

She's scum.

[Colo9250]

If Esper does promote the traitor Vindman then Esper should be removed from office.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I believe the Lesbian is actually one Tammy Baldwin (D-WI).

[eyeamok]

McConnell should have eliminated the filibuster like the Demonrats are Promising to do if they regain control.

[Nateman]

How does a Senator in the minority party block promotions? I’d bust Vindman down to private then put him on permanent latrine duty.

Quid pro quo at its finest.
