Wow...any truth to this?

It's from Benny Johnson so there's about 75% chance it's pure propaganda.

The rubes (and necro) will eat it up though so it doesn't really matter.

Maybe we can get Jo from Jersey on the case!

Don't be jealous. Knowing your "tastes" you'd be all over her in a flash if you had no inkling of her political leanings.

Now we're getting somewhere!

Don't let them slow down now, maybe they'll vote to give themselves raises soon!

Shockingly, a white woman from Georgia not wanting to pay a black man for doing his job.

Austin is also one of the chief advocates of forced DEI initiatives in the Defense Department. Fuck him.
I dont care about "Diversity" in the defense department. Leadership positions should be staffed by the most qualified people available.

It's too bad that "diversity" only seems to be a concern of a very specific part of the population. I wonder what KKKind of people they could be?

College football (coach) fans? They don't seem to have a problem with diversity for that sport though.

A bunch of Al Campanis apologists around here.

You two clowns just love kicking your own ass.
Do you understand that "wanting the most qualified person for the job" means exactly what it says? It means that a persons race should NOT be a consideration; that the job should go to the best person regardless of their skin color.
In essence, YOU have aligned yourself with the racist beliefs of the KKK because you WANT race to be considered. Great job, racists!

No spin at all. I want the most qualified people in important positions like leading our defense department. I dont care what color they are as long as they are the most qualified. Its troubling that you two clowns DONT want the most qualified people running our nations defense.

So, you think Tuberville, Gaetz, Biggs, and the rest of your feckless Freedumb Caucus are the best for the job?

They won elections. They were not appointed or promoted because of their race. Come on Salty.

I'm sorry, which is it now? The promotions are held up for diversity? I thought they were being held up for an imaginary hoax of federal funds being used for abortion. Either way, I'm not a soldier. I'd rather let the military decide who's worthy of promotions, instead of a senator who didn't serve and seems to think being a woman or minority automatically means they're not worthy of moving up the ranks. Or is it they aren't worthy of healthcare, or even the opportunity or freedom for healthcare?

So much for supporting our military. As Salty put so eloquently, GTFOH.

Clearly youre also confused in this thread too. Tuberville's point was on abortion. Austin is simply a major proponent of forced DEI initiatives in the military. Congrats on misrepresenting here as well! Youre nothing if not pathetically consistent. No one said minorities arent "worthy" of moving up. If they are best for the position then by all means they should be the pick. If they arent, then they shouldnt be advanced simply because of their skin color. Is that really a difficult concept for you to understand?

Military assignments were being held up due to abortion issues? I thought you said it was a diversity issue.

Quick come up with something else to prop up as a facade. Next week it'll be immigration reform, or something to do with healthcare, right?

Stop pretending to give a shit. Animal already has that mantle.

In this case Cheezy is right about this. Tuberville is holding up appointments due to current military reproductive policies:

"More than 300 general and flag officer nominations have been delayed in the Senate as a result of the blanket hold put in place in February by Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama over disagreements with the Pentagon on its reproductive health care policy."

This is breaking our national military effectiveness, something that should be considered the next time some GOP POS tries to spout his/her "love of our heroes" bullshit line.

It’s too easy. https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4225 ... -push/amp/

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R) said he voted against the nomination of the Pentagon’s next Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman over the military officer’s push to promote “woke policies.”

Tuberville said he objected Air Force Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown Jr.’s efforts to recruit and promote racial minorities in the ranks. He argued that such equal opportunity efforts threaten military readiness.

“I heard some things he talked about, about race and things that he wanted to mix into the military,” he told Bloomberg Television’s “Balance of Power” on Tuesday. “Our military is not an equal opportunity employer. We’re looking for the best of the best to do whatever. We’re not looking for different groups, social justice groups. We don’t want to single-handedly destroy our military from within.”

Tuberville’s comments are not entirely accurate, as the U.S. military since 1948 has had an equal opportunity policy, signed into law by President Truman via an executive order. The effort desegregated the military and guaranteed “equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion or national origin.”

So once again, I'd rather let the military decide who's worthy of promotions, instead of a senator who didn't serve and seems to think being a woman or minority automatically means they're not worthy of moving up the ranks. Not even sure why you’re fighting me on this since you say if they deserve it they should get it, which is what I say. Your football coach is the odd one out, so clearly it is a difficult concept for one of us to understand. It just ain’t me.

So, once again race should not be a factor in a persons ability for the job regardless of the person making the choice. By your logic you would be good with a white military person factoring in whether or not an applicant was white in the promotion process and giving that person preferential treatment because of it. Do you see how ridiculous your stance is?
Did Tuberville ever say that a minority was not worthy as you claim? Or is he simply against using race as a factor? You cant help but be disingenuous.

He definitely seems to think that because the military is integrated and open to all that it means that we're not at our best. So if you're upset, take issue with who you're defending. Like I said, again, I'm not a soldier. So I'd rather let the military decide who's worthy and who's not, if that person is white and choosing to elevate the next worthy who is also white, then fine because that's beyond me. If the person is black and choosing to elevate the next worthy who is also black, then fine because that's beyond me. Your error in thinking seems to be that I would automatically have a problem with the white half of the equation. I don't. Seems you don't either, as I dare say even you won't go so far as to object to the black half of the equation. The outlier then is Tuberville, who did not serve. He's playing culture warrior, not actual warrior. And because of said culture war, he's pushed the military that he says he wants to be at our best to not be battle ready at 100%. Whether that's because of federal funds he says are funding abortions when they aren't, or because he disagrees with a mixed race military based on some deluded fantasy that only white nationalists can be the best at defending our country. Either way, it's on him and thus you for defending his thinking, actions, and the consequences of that.
