B-Man Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 If this vote goes along party lines, the Dems are truly screwed up. I agree.

Taro T Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I agree. He is eminently qualified and known to be an independent person. What excuse can they possibly go with ? The excuse is simple: Trump is 100% moronic. As everything he does is moronic, any & all actions, nominations, & ideas must, by definition be moronic. And 100% moronic nominations (even if on the surface they don't appear to be moronic &/or are actually inspired) must be opposed 100% of the time. Note: rather than moronic, they might go w/ evil or that oldie but goodie evil AND moronic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 But wait! Not so fast... http://www.defensenews.com/articles/trump-national-security-advisor-will-face-senate-vote?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=DFN%20DNR%202.21.17&utm_term=Editorial%20-%20Daily%20News%20Roundup That article isn't clear. Is the Senate re-confirming his rank or are they confirming his fitness for a position that they normally have no say over? Seems like the former because the article says that he can get around the process if he either retires or bounces himself down in rank by declining to participate (I obviously doubt he does either of those things).

B-Man Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Trump’s ‘Warrior-Scholar’ Praised as ‘Fantastic Choice.’ A roundup of reactions: Politico describes McMaster, author of a 1997 book on America’s mishandling of the Vietnam war, as “one of the military’s leading warrior-scholars” and predicts that he will help Trump build bridges with GOP defense hawks like John McCain, who praised McMaster on Monday as “a man of genuine intellect, character, and ability.” Retired Lt. Gen. David Barno tells the Washington Post that he knows McMaster well and he believes the general will excel at coordinating policy. “I don’t see HR as director of an orchestra; I see him as someone who is getting all the instruments to play together,” Barno says. Cosmopolitan rounds up eight things to know about McMaster, including the fact that he “is known for standing up for his beliefs” and was chosen as one of Time’s “100 Most Influential People” in 2014. National Review reports that Charles Krauthammer, one of Trump’s fiercest conservative critics, described the choice as encouraging, noting that McMaster’s willingness to go against prevailing opinion of the time when planning the Iraq troop surge shows “this is a guy who will say what he thinks and promote what he wants.” At Business Insider, Paul Szoldra praises McMaster as a “fantastic choice,” not least for the great deal of respect he commands from the troops The AP notes that McMaster has a “reputation for being willing to speak truth to power”—and he “appears to hold a much dimmer view than Trump of Moscow’s military and political objectives in Europe.” Cosmopolitan? Really? What’s next, Teen Vogue? Oh, right. . . . https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/257922/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azalin Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Can somebody please remind me when Ivanka got confirmed to be part of the Administration? Apparently the democrats held a secret confirmation process and she breezed through with flying colors.

McCain n record as criticizing the mission, pressure mounting on White House to talk about the decision making process and why mission was so necessary. Seems like the fool was sitting at dinner and beltched and said he wanted the mission. Father refused to meet with Trump. Eom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
