This motherfucker should be dragged from the Senate and sent back fucking Alabama. He isn’t doing his job so he should be removed.
I vote we air drop him into Russia with a note saying “I want to fight for Russia. Please sign me up.”
since… you know… he’s helping putin out so much.
Unfortunately, he and his constituents probably feel like he’s doing his job. The US of A in 2023.
Enough to get him elected. Beating Doug Jones by 20 points was no small feat.
Such a massive forehead with nothing between it.
When you consider some of his peers…

I wonder if Tuberville was involved in an sports related sex abuse scandals like his colleague Jim Jordan was.
Now, now, Tuberville is in the Senate, not the House… totally different group of assholes:

I know hes doing it for shitty republican reasons, but are dems really gonna rally around more military spending?
It’s not about military spending. It’s about having leadership in place if we ever go to war. This ass-hat is destabilizing our military when we really need to be ready.
He’ll just hold all the spots open in case Trump is reelected. That means this time the insurrection will have military backing. Kind of like the Supreme Court seat.
Its the department of defense, its in the executive branch, the president can, and trump did many times, make spots open when they want. So this has no bearing on any future presidencies. Its just military spending now for the already most expensive military in the world with a tendency to bomb other countries. What a shame that they cant do that as efficiently right now.
He’s only holding up military leadership. Whatever he’s saving is a tiny drop in the ocean of military spending. What he’s really doing is killing readiness. He’s also making sure that these spots can’t be filled by anyone who would owe allegiance to the Democrat party (despite the fact that none of them should owe allegiance to either party).
This is laying the groundwork for a coup and hurting our ability to prepare for and participate in conflicts.
The President is the Commander in Chief - he could override all those decisions on who to promote, theoretically. At least that’s how I understand it.
If they have a smart group that is actually planning this, that group could then vet a bunch of other people that their data suggests would be more amenable to their agenda and present a list of alternate promotions to the Republican president, which he could then order the military to make happen.
This is a terrifying scenario, but unlikely and I don’t think his scheme.
He isn’t holding out for alternate candidates. He just wants the Pentagon to reverse its abortion policy. If he were doing this to get alternative candidates approved, it would require alternate recommendations coming from elsewhere in the military, which isn’t occurring, and the Senate democrats wouldn’t approve them anyway.
I still find it hilarious that Tuberville has effectively become one of the best anti-military politicians, even if his reasons for doing so are completely unexpected.
