Oh noes! MarkWayne Billybob's nomination is "no longer a walk in the park"!

According to the former executive secretary of DHS, who just appeared on CNN, markwayne has made this process more difficult for himself with his answers to the committee. Paul will not vote for him and Fetterman is wavering. His nomination may be in trouble.

According to her, his nomination was going to be voted on tomorrow, but now will be delayed. His whole wild story about a classified war experience has to be investigated.

and what this ex Biden DHS official was saying is that this hearing may have changed Fetterman's mind. At least that's what I got out of it. But who knows?

but when I read your response I hear "the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain" in my mind. Maybe it's just me.

Of the Secret Commando Special Ranger Forces, posing as a congressman, sent on super-secret missions to war zones around the globe!

If he votes no, I believe it will have more to do with his plans to run for re-election. Just my opinion.

No, that was not an error when I typed being replaced by a Dem.

He will be unemployed in two years and his new republican friends will be no help. I see him on public assistance in the near future.

it's bad enough when people who served but not in combat claim such experience, but when someone who NEVER EVEN SERVED does that, JFC, that in itself should be a GAME KILLER
