Seditionist striking back at Biden administration for taking away his beloved war

You’ll never guess why Josh Hawley is obstructing various nominees to the Pentagon! Or maybe you will:

Frustrations with Sen. Josh Hawley‘s monthslong slow-walking of Pentagon nominees boiled over on Thursday, as one top Democrat slammed the Missouri Republican for hamstringing the military as it responds to the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Hawley — who has blocked the quick confirmation on Pentagon nominees in recent months over how the Biden administration withdrew from Afghanistan — stymied an attempt from Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) to approve three Pentagon nominees on Thursday.

The tranche included Celeste Wallander — a Russia expert who has argued the U.S. was too slow to respond to Moscow’s last incursion into Ukraine — to be the Pentagon’s top international security official. Also blocked were David Honey, the pick to be Pentagon’s No. 2 research and engineering official, and Melissa Dalton, nominated to head up homeland defense issues.

Any MAGA opposition to “Forever Wars” is purely rhetorical — they will no more find a way of ending one that is acceptable than their frenemies in The Blob will, and Trump would have folded like a 25 cent card table at the first sign of pushback had he remained in office.
