  1. he needs to drop it all and then quit, this loser is a nobody and never will do anything for any american to make their life better. But after getting canned at auburn for letting Saban smash him he needs to replace those millions he lost when job was lost. he like all slime balls is in office to pad the bank account and nothing else

  2. George Santos supported by Republicans.

    Tommy Tuberville threatening our nation security.

    Now Republicans want to shut down our government.

    What is wrong with GOP?

  3. Hey Senator Traitorville don't you think it's a little late. Should not happened in the first place. You and Gen . Benedict Flynn should both be charged with treason then and only then be put in front of a firing squad . As a military veteran I'll volunteer to be on the firing squad. Been years since I have fired a weapon but believe me I guaranteed I won't miss the mark.๐ŸŽฏ Minus the dart. Have to make sure that I don't cause any undo pain. All business. One problem ? Who gets to go first.๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”. Vote the Big / Bigger Blue ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒŠ in 2024 . ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒโ˜ฎ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ

  4. Hold the line good Senator

  5. The woke military. An epic joke.

  6. Iโ€™m Gen X (75) and this country has been arguing about abortion my entire life I thought it was settled. I have always thought abortion was so unnecessary with the current access to contraception of many different types. I say any man that impregnates a woman that end up being aborted should have to pay a huge tax. I bet more men would guarantee they do not sire an unplanned pregnancy.

  7. Soooo now he wants to move forward .. because one by one they will move past him, Any body that disrespects the military , no use, for,.

  8. These are the people your inbred geriatric racist parents pick and brag about at Thanksgiving bc Gen Z is high and millennials are frankly just useless

  9. I wish theyโ€™d land one of them black helicopters in his chicken faced front yard, and drop him off in Arkansas. Duck hunting.

  10. Tommy Tuberville should be the first Senator to undergo a HIA protocol, that is Hick Impersonating Adult.

  11. another gop traitor…

    Obviously pretending not to give aid to our enemies…

    just a criminal republican-traitor

  12. Tommy Tuberville, Congress need to get bipartisan ruling on expelling Tommy Tuberville, as a Senator he is now a World American Disgrace bringing shame to our Country.

  13. Too late Tuberville. Dems will take care of business now!!

  14. Tommy Tooberville, how freaking embarrasing. At least I can say he is actually a Floridian.

  15. US military is dying. Nobody wants to join. Few have any trust in leadership. We will see it collapse. I would encourage anyone to join.

  16. Tuberville is an embarrassment as a senator and as an American. His reasoning to hold up key military appointments is absurdist and is an example of a fool who has no ability to make reasoned decisions.

  17. Floribama needs you to come home tubbers.

  18. These politicians have no brain, no conscience and donโ€™t care or know about priorities for the country.

  19. Tommy did you sober up son or did you get another kick back?

  20. Tubberville is a disgrace to alabama

  21. Not really, Tuberville is just positioning himself to not get hammered for blocking promotions of politically powerful individuals.

  22. Next election, let's send this fraud back to Tuberville.

  23. A well deserved Sweep around the Coach, he says "Hey, wait!" as he runs to catch up.
    Tuberville has no place in politics, another obstructionist whiner, not a legislator.

  24. Tuberville is a trump loyalist…not to be trusted.๐Ÿ”๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ”
    โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒโฃ๏ธ

  25. To little to, too late. Vote blue.

  26. There is no danger at all. This is NBC spouting its crap.

  27. If Tupperville is threatening our national security, Biden needs to override as commander in chief. Biden needs to step in. Right??????

  28. Tuberville and Ron Johnson are actually working for Russia.

  29. Remove Tubberville and the Clown Car Caucus in the House now!!!

  30. Lost causer trying to stack the deck with sympathetic officers to help in NEXT insurrection. That's why he wants to grill each and every officer, he's a traitor.

  31. The only reason he even flipped was because he realized he didnโ€™t have republican support in the senate.
