Just as there can be no suggestion that George Floyd did anything wrong, and if he did it was actually Whitey's fault, it cannot be suggested that a black Leftist Sec Def broke the law. It has got to be straight-up racism to suggest it or the laws on the books are racist.

This is the way you entrench criminality into the system and cause it to rot out from within. Which is the goal.

Perhaps they should hire OJ to conduct the 30 day review as we all know he’s so dedicated to finding the true killer.

Will they be doing this "30 day review", before, or after they "conduct an internal investigation"? Perhaps they should "withhold judgement, until all the facts are in"? Maybe they need a committee to do the review, but first they'll need a working group, to select the members of the committee?

This is just more of the typical, delay, obfuscation, bullshit, to allow the government to do nothing, until the news cycle buries this story down the memory hole.

Hence, nothing ever gets fixed.

The Committee on Not Violating the Law will doubtless come with its own budget, which shall surely increase every year as punishment for the prior year's failure to achieve successful non-violations of the law.

They will recommend all kinds of idiocy too. "If the secretary dies, he/she/they/it has two days (48 hrs) to inform the President...."

They make the laws and they also make the arrests..............so the checks and balances are gone.

This is why we are...where we are at.

Blame the opposition party.

This was a major fiasco. 30 days? That's just nonsense. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin should have told the President of his need for surgery - full stop. I do understand his wish for privacy - his embarrassment of almost certain post-operative incontinence and erectile dysfunction. He's 70 years old and a FOUR Star General - no one at any age would want that information made public. Unfortunately, his sense of mortification outweighed his judgement. Austin has served his country, and he was in combat. He was, no doubt, looked up to by many. Had he at least informed the President and his own second in command, none of this would have come to light. He may have assumed Joe wouldn't have remembered the conversation anyhow - but at least the military chain of command would be in place. Austin did NOT follow protocol. He thought he could get this "routine" procedure done and no one would be the wiser. But he got an infection - he became septic. Sounds like he may have been in septic shock. In hindsight, General Austin absolutely knows he was wrong. And on top of that, Austin's health situation is now known world wide - and this man who served his country is totally humiliated.

The token affirmative action retard should never have been appointed in the first place!

His ridiculous stand down while they frantically searched for « white supremacists » in the armed forces was beyond parody; meanwhile the cartels are literally invading the US and mass poisoning its citizens with fentanyl and the fat coloured imbecile does absolutely nothing about it!

At this point, I postulate that most of the alphabet soup agencies should be shut down including the DoD!

Apparently nothing is an outrage anymore. I joined a group on Facebook that is focused on the happenings of our small town in upstate NY but also prides itself on not censoring any posts and someone posted about the murder of Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant and was critical of the administration. A very earnest woman wrote with all kinds of correct me if I am wrong prefaces that didn't this happen because the Republicans in Congress won't pass the immigration bill and Joe Biden can't do anything about "migrants" until it does. She was not being sarcastic- she was told this and believed this and couldn't understand why everyone was so upset with the Old Fool and the Democrats (and please, it is not just Biden, it is the Democrats). So if half the country can't even recognize BS, what are we going to do? If this answer by Austin is acceptable to the media, DC, and half the American people, then it is already over.

Typical liberal approach to avoid accountability and deflect. In the end, politicians will be dishonest as much as the media allows them to be.

Sadly, I’ve had plenty of situations where a 30 day Review could have helped…..But I’m not defense secretary 🙄

You're due a visit from Sharpton...but he'll likely get detoured to Atlanta, first.

I have been thinking hard about why it is that politicians, and indeed many people in the public eye, are so routinely dishonest, then attempt to conceal this by speaking in oblique and contradictory ways to conceal their wrongdoing. Still coming up short.

Austin's performance is "good enough for government work." Same for the 30-day review and Dementia Joe's fitness for office.

It takes an act Congress to fire a nobody pencil pusher Fed employee - do anyone really think anything happens to these people when they do things that no one gets a pass for outside the crazy world of government?
