one of the first things I wanted to see was to have him summarily discharged at the minimum.

that he got to hold his same post was outrageous and a strong indicator what we could expect later.

rinse and repeat.

I'm going to hold off expressing an opinion on this until I hear from the SecDef and/or the CinC.

And many people wonder if Korea is part of that command. It is not. Korea is a separate command.

Known to lie about his role in keeping assistance from the Capitol Police to protect the seat of government from violent insurrection.

Known THEN to have lied. KNOWN THEN TO HAVE LIED.

"Finally, the promotion board makes a recommendation to the President of the United States. If the President accepts this recommendation they will nominate the officer for promotion. However, once the President communicates this nomination, the U.S. Senate must confirm it in order for the promotion to be approved. This process includes promotions from O-6 to O-7 and O-7 through O-10."

from when he fired Comey. That should be a piece of cake to do, Trump has only admitted to that crime in dozens of interviews. The statue of limitation expires on that in 5 or 6 months.

It's interesting to read public opinion.

Plenty of trolls, too.
