Now Nominees for State Department Jobs Have to Fill Out Questionaries About 'Wokeness'

Ask any Republican what "wokeness" is and chances are they don't really know, nor do they care, as long as it's a word meant to demean liberal Democrats.

In their quest to tear down the norms in Congress GOP lawmakers are boycotting nominees for military advancement and the state department.

Despite their minority in the Senate, GOP members are obstructing government using tactics like holding up confirmation hearings. It only takes one MAGA minion to jam up the works.

Just look at Republican J.D. Vance who's passing out questionnaires to state department nominees to determine if he thinks their "too woke."

That's interesting. Vance claims he's looking for radical views among the would-be ambassadors. I wonder what he thinks is radical when he's a card-carrying MAGA moron? 

Casting aside precedent, Vance's action was unusual (to say the least) because he doesn't sit on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the main panel that vets State Department nominees.

Backing Trump is as radical as you can get in America today. Trump's efforts to destroy democracy are being pushed back by the courts that will be trying him for being a traitor and attempting to overthrow the 2020 election in the near future.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Vance's little buddy vaccine denier Rand Paul who is involved in the MAGA screening process currently underway.

Usually, career diplomats have an easier time getting conformation than political appointees from outside the foreign service. Not now. The GOP agenda to gum up the functions of Congress has hit an all-time high.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been warning Republicans that by not confirming the military promotions they are undermining our national security. So far, that hasn't moved the partisan sock puppets for Trump.

As for the state department nominees, if they're not confirmed this week, their kids will not be able to enroll in new schools overseas - and diplomatic families will be forced to separate according to Matthew Miller state department spokesman.

I suppose Vance and Paul will consider that a victory. Owning the libs is all they care about, and the country be damned.

As it stands, Republicans in Congress are showing us how destructive they can be right now. Imagine if they win back the Senate and presidency? We'd be living in Amerika - The Land of the Lost!
