But did he inform his boss, Hussein?
Scrubbing comments. Cowards.
Pentagon just has billions unaccounted for. 😱😨🤔. Where is the money ??
Have a good Day your services will no longer be required. You're fired in your pension will be revoked
Did they get the gerbil out?
Since the name on the door was changed to Laura Austin, I assume it was gender reassignment surgery.
If Austin would have told Biden……….would Biden even remember?
liposuction?
How does the Secretary feel about publicity. And yes Commder- and Chief should be told. Yep!
Please. Is it written in the constitution that a public official going to the hospital should be publ8cized? I am. Very very very seriously asking. If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks.
There are many Trump loyalists still working in government. If Biden had been told, how long would it have taken that nugget of critical defense readiness to get passed to our enemies?
I think the secretary was in Ukrania when the Russians bombarded
An infected Ohblahblah tatoo on his bum?
My question is, what did he do for the media to throw him under the bus??
incompetence?
Respect for Sec’s privacy. HIPPAA (sp) regulations. So I’m guessing Asst Sec was in charge and he felt that person would do well.
Get well Mr. Secretary. Praying for you!
Maybe he doesn't do anything. Is it because someone else does all the calls.
A week, and nobody knew.
who made all those calls?
Without checking with secretary hmmmmm
For more years for satanic joe Biden
Sadly they didn’t really care about him three days and the President of the United States didn’t even know about it that shows me that they have no respect for him and I’m wondering if they were hoping something really bad was going to happen so they could have a another person take over his position. I hope the God that I’m not right with that thinking but obviously they did not care to say anything for three days and that’s very sad
Democrats run on pure emotion. And hate keeps them going.
