    I think the most important paragraph was missed:

    Three military services are now without Senate-confirmed heads for the first time in history, as Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) holds up the confirmations of more than 300 senior military officers to protest the Pentagon’s new abortion policy.

    The tl;dr kind of makes it sound like the Senate Democrats are responsible for the holds. It’s just one Republican and his anti-woke crusade.

      God I hate these dumb fucks and idiots that can’t think with more than 2 brain cells. No long term planning or thinking. Just “oh my semi-ideological opponent wants it? Nah” Half of the US really went crazy because a black man was elected president. And they still haven’t gotten over it almost a decade later.

        If the seething rage some Republicans still feel over Nixon is anything to go by, they’ll never get over this sleight against their being, and they’ll continuously demand an additional pound of flesh in recompense every chance they get.

        Because they weren’t held accountable last time, it’s 10 times worse this time. And if we let them get away with it again, there won’t be another chance to hold them accountable because they’ll destroy this country before that happens again. Hell, they’re practically destroying it now.
