yet it started at 9:00 eastern time and ended at 9:49 eastern time, with commercials. So, they pretty much showed all of it. |
He dedicated decades to the reserves. Good for him. |
He served in an e9 capacity for several months, but did not do the coursework to codify the rank, so when he retired, he retired at his previous grade. this is pretty well documented. |
Well said. |
Mans did the work (like a lot of us) for 24 years. Unless you did as well please limit your comments to "Thank-you." |
Are you a stolen valor too? |
There’s an old joke about a man who works at the circus taking care of the elephants. Specifically. he has to clean up after them. Day in day out, until months become weeks becomes years. After awhile, he’s sick and tired of cleaning up elephant dung and he starts complaining. He hates what he’s doing and he lets everyone around him know it. One of his coworkers overhears him grumbling and says, well, if you don’t like it, why don’t you just quit. To which our hearty circus man replies: “What, and leave show business!?!” It's either clean up donald's $&it or leave politics. Dollars to doughnuts, Vance figured Trump would die within a year or two and propel him into Oval Office. Vance is willing to wallow in the dung if it gets him the job he is drooling for. |

Wow I finally got to watch the interview (unlike the right wingers here who obviously haven’t). What a sad commentary on the right wing lens-ification of media. They basically made their questions from Trump talking points.
Harris comes off well. I am glad to get to vote for her and am glad that our party doesn’t nominate empty treasonous suits like the GOP does. |
This was my observation as well. All the questions were literally things I have heard on this forum and on social media from MAGAts. |
Assume whatever you want. One or the other will be President, so we are necessarily grading on a curve. It doesn't matter how good or bad either of them are in an abstract or an objective sense; it matters only how they compare to one another. |
Yup. Bash let the Trump campaign be her assignment editor. Sad. |
| This was not journalism and does very little to explain Harris policies. |
Again-being frocked in anticipation that you will attend the SMA is not a promotion. The promotion occurs after successfully completing SMA. He served as an e9, made the e9 list, but was always an e8. That’s facts. The coursework was attending SMA, which he either declined to do or dropped out of. He doesn’t specify which he did. You don’t know what you are talking about. You don’t get promoted until you complete the coursework. He was never promoted to e9. He wasn’t an e9 except in name for a few months. He wasn’t an e9 who was demoted to e8 at retirement; he was an e8 that acted as an e9 for a few months. He was never promoted. |
You are so mad that he has an impressive record of service. Go be of service in some capacity. You might like it |
You don't know what YOU are talking about. He received the promotion - this is a fact, served in the role for several months, but then retired before completing the coursework. He formally retired in the earlier rank. This has all been long since documented and you are being obtuse about it. |
