#Promotions
Republicans are once again giving promotions to the worst people you know.

Of course the incredible irony here is Hegseth replaced actual meritocracy with race based promotions
Se sorta already knew this, but the details are still jaw-dropping:
*the military has an aggressively meritorious selection process
*Hegseth ran a separate, secret process using internet searches
*Officers denied promotion were told over the phone, given no chance to respond, forced to retire
Pete Hegseth had his inner circle google promotable officers and create paper-only files assessing their wokeness.

DISGRACEFUL!

Hegseth was using internet searches to help decide whether highly qualified military officers deserve promotions.

To see if officers had participated in diversity events, celebrated International Women’s Day, or attended events recognizing minority service members.

Looking forward to Jim Jordan and Stephen Miller's promotions causing another 170 Republicans to lose their seats in two years

The Pentagon said Hegseth, saying was “reviving the warrior ethos” and ensuring promotions remained merit-based.

Lots of things left out of Massie’s resolution that can be added by Dems. Refusal to allow transfer of Patriots to Ukraine, pushing out women, illegal tampering w/promotions, polygraphing officers, political speeches to troops, weapons contracts to cronies. We can do this better.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blocked promotions for senior military officers based on their involvement in diversity initiatives, COVID-19 vaccination efforts, the Afghanistan evacuation or ties to former Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen Mark Milley, MS NOW reports.

21st CENTURY NEANDERTHAL

In an ongoing fit of pique, Pistol Pete is denying promotions to anyone holding an opposite worldview and who didn't/don't want to die from Covid.

It almost seems like he WANTS to be impeached. I hope that Congress can grant his wish.

Congressman-Elect Fred Wellman on Pete Hegseth terminating the promotions of women and minorities: "It's illegal. It's bigoted. It's homophobic. It's racist. I have no respect for Pete Hegseth."

Oh.

“A recent Times investigation found that DraftKings used artificial intelligence to send compulsive gamblers promotions and free-bet credits, but declined to use the technology to help identify at-risk bettors.”

Pointing out that it's mostly female and non-white candidates who were DENIED promotions. 😡😡😡
