  1. He's doing a McConnell on the military nominations. If Trump wins, it could be a huge payday for him( he owns defense stock), not to mention, installing a loyal military for future fascist coups

  2. So… there's men named Lisa and Lindsey? Odd.

  3. Tuberville is what you get when cousins marry and have children…….idiots.

  4. DON’T PANIC

    America is still the #1 terrorist nation. 👍👍
    They have held that position ever since launching the nukes on non military targets (Cities of human civilians). Since then over 100 proxy wars , illegal wars , interference in other nations , blowing up pipelines , water treatment centres & hydro facilities in many nations, election interference & regime change , covert terrorist attacks, torture centres & secret ‘Black sites’ jails, use of chemical & biological weapons, arming and funding so many terrorist groups worldwide, breaking peace agreements, cyber attacks on sovereign nations, murder by gunning down civilian planes (eg flight 655) etc. etc. etc. And now providing the weapons , money & support to a genocide.

    United States of Aggression –
    But the American people are not this. They are just like silent Germans during Hitler’s time. They work hard, eat the propaganda & pay for this terrorism and mostly kept their mouth shut out of fear & do a bit of virtue signalling to calm themselves from the truth
    🌎💕.

  5. The question is, how much are the Russians paying Traitor Tuberville to sabotage the American military?

  6. 👍👍👍. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market. I was at a seminar and the host spoke about making over $972,000 within 3 months with a capital of $200,000. I just need creative ideas to afford my retirement.

  7. There’s plenty of people that make the military their whole career—some join when they are eighteen and then stay in the military for decades. I’m sure some of them feel like now they have to make a choice—stay in the military or start a family. If your military base is in one of the states where it has become much more dangerous to become pregnant because if something goes wrong with your pregnancy you may not be given the medical care you or your spouse need to live or to carry a pregnancy in the future, you may feel that you can have either a military career or a family but not both.

  8. Wow no wonder people are leaving the military

  9. Again, a Republican doing something TOO America. Not FOR America.

  10. I think tuberville has his nose so far up trumps rear.that he can't see daylight.

  11. VOTE BLUE…VOTE BLUE…VOTE BLUE…
    THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS CORRUPT!!!!!!!!!

  12. The border is not a Biden priority…..You Guys Lie.

  13. He probably is working for putin and trump.
    his support of our military ?
    Come on protest that coward….

  14. As a vet I say it is BS they’ll be fine and they’ll be back payed what about all the enlisted who got kicked out over covid shots save the babies they get officer pay they’ll be alright if they miss a few bucks its all a show no one wants to join anyways and it lets the officers get a taste of enlisted peoples pay issues everyday

  15. So impressive of Senate Republicans to say something.

    Tuberville has hamstringed and damaged America’s military for more than a year.
    Wow, what bravery on their part.

  16. The GOP should unite behind Tuberville

  17. Good keep the hold. Top brass and a lot below are thugs
