US military leaders say Tuberville is aiding US adversaries with hold on military nominations | CNN Politics

Rhetoric aside, it is chilling that a sitting Senator would take such a step and we should all be concerned about what this could lead to.

Today it’s Tuberville’s hold on nominations for non-military political reasons. Maybe tomorrow it’s the Armed Services committees treating these appointments and promotions like judicial nominations. All of a sudden, you effectively have de-facto political appointments for in-the-ranks military leadership, and U.S. politics is far scarier than it’s ever been.

Sure, I’m committing a slippery slope fallacy here, but given the track record of our political leaders to cause institutional decay with zero-sum game partisan politics, I don’t think it’s a stretch.

The .world blog: June overview

It’s so helpful to see the costs and the raise from donations each month.

Obviously there’s probably a spike associated with people coming from Reddit in traffic and in donations but I think it’s going to be important to keep track of these trends to make sure the team can build a reserve of funds to keep .world’s prospects nice and healthy.

I think, given the fact that we are all living in the same era of American politics and that we are all in the comments section of a story about a Republican Senator, that it was obvious Republicans are the perpetrators I’m speaking of. Their behavior with regard to institutional security is obviously abhorrent.

I am a bit bothered by your reply though. And I do mean to operate in good faith here, but I am curious about whether my comment was unclear or were you hoping for “Democrat good” to be my reply?
