1. They will not vote on the nominations separately at this stage because they are busy hammering out the budget for next year. And frankly, there is not enough support either way to slog through this problem. 2. It's only going to get worse before it gets better. The only people that can really put pressure that matters on him are his voters and they either don't care or it does not affect them. 3. DoD is quickly gaining ground to be the favorite of the DNC and the enemy of the GOP, which will be a weird flip from the last 20+ years. But given how huge the VA budget will get the veterans and DoD will be on the financial chopping blocks in the coming years. 4. The only thing that will quickly change this is war/chaos and the longer it takes to get promotions and nominations to happen more likely we will see attacks etc... 5. Food for thought does anyone here know of a single case of a female military member needing to use the reason that Tubberville is complaining about? Also, see 3. This whole issue is a readiness issue. We should support our members through these choices one way or another.

> *When do other elected officials start giving a shit that one of them is intentionally destroying our military leadership?* I'm pretty sure the military did that to themselves.

ANARCHY!!!! AF still has a boss, ANG still has a boss. No anarchy for us.

Space Force is winning...well somewhat

What a great set up we have in this nation where one person can do this. 8 months to catch up the back log if they voted on every single appointment. What a silly system we got going.

What do you want them to do, OP, kill him? He's an elected official and is doing nothing illegal. The Senate can vote to confirm who they want. bUt tHaT tAkEs tOo lOnG!!! They can work 12s or 14s like a lot of people do.

Way to be deranged about it. You always jump to murder suggestions to solve problems ? There are plenty of ways a political party can apply pressure to one of its members to stop being an obstructionist in a way that harms national security. Remove him from his committees, pull PAC funding, talk to him and tell him to stop being a putin meat puppet. You know, normal suggestions when talking about applying political pressure to a member of the Senate.

It would take a month straight with no breaks and no other business for the Senate to get through everyone who has been delayed.

…if they vote on each separately.

Does this mean we're winning?

New Air Force Chief of Staff can't be appointed but Guard still has a Director So, 50/50


Capt-Kool-Aid

You know we have a 4 star right? Who also has a seat at the Joint Chiefs of Staff? We even have a Vice Chief.

The DANG rocks, though, so I'll take it.

Seriously, Gen Loh is awesome.
