Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy’s No. 2 officer, has been leading the service on an acting basis because of the impasse.

President Joe Biden’s nominee to be the Navy’s top officer, Adm. Lisa Franchetti, said it could take the service years to recover from the impacts of Sen. Tommy Tuberville‘s blockade of hundreds of senior military promotions.

Franchetti told the Senate Armed Services Committee during her confirmation hearing Thursday that the impasse has created “a lot of uncertainty” for Navy families.

“Just at the three-star level, it would take about three to four months just to move all the people around,” Franchetti said. “But it will take years to recover … from the promotion delays that we would see.”

        They should stop retarding the process.

        Also, they don’t give a fuck if you’re offending so fuck off with your infighting.

          It’s definitely a slur the way you used it. I say that as someone that grew up in the 90s and called my friend that everyday.

          Things change.

            Stupid.

            Is that a slur?

            Because stupid people definitely exist.

            But no one wants to be stupid.

            Maybe if I feel really hard, the stupid will stop?

          It is definitely a slur. Certain words can make you sound like a conservative. You don’t want to sound like a vile, grotesque, piece-of-shit fucking conservative do you?

            Stupid people exist. They are everywhere. It’s not good to be stupid. Is ‘stupid’ suddenly a slur, snowflake?
