  1. Tommy Tubbervile should be forced to undergo boot camp training at the nearest USMC recruitment facility. He needs to be punished for his erratic decisions.

  2. He is holding out on generals so if trump gets in he can appoint them and will help in his dictatorship

  3. This country would he better without Alabama

  4. Trump probably had a talk with him lol.

  5. HES STILL BLOCKING the ONES THAT MATTER!!!! FIX YOUR headline ITS NOT ACCURATE

  6. Senator Tuberville does not deserve one minute let alone five for what he has done to the careers of so many that dedicated their lives and professional lives to the defense of this nation. Selfish, Stubborn, and Stupid let's hope we can add Sacked to Tuberville's list of S's.

  7. GOP pressure gotten to him.

  8. Remember folks… in a democracy, you deserve the leader you elected!!!

  9. Tuberville is a self serving windbag who certainly does NOT represent his constituents. There, now I feel heard.

  10. If the American people had a voice you would have never messed with the military Tubberville! Hurting the military to blaickmail us rather than doing the work trying to convince people to support your policies nobody wanted will be your legacy.

  11. This Tommy should be kicked out of office he is a kkk member from Alabama

    22:43 Lindo de ver!…..

  13. Don't give him too much credit yet as he us still going to hold up the top brass

  14. vote tuberville out of office

  15. It was about time, Senator S.O.B. obstructionist treasonous good for nothing football coach

  16. Tommy, you should now retire from office, or any other currently held offiice, and you should be banned from holding any public or private office for the remainder of your life, and any and every ongoing retirement or health care benefits from service in Congress should be voided irrevocably, effective immediately.
    In

  17. And we are supposed to be thankful??? This should NEVER happen again…

  18. Make this dishonorable, political user a one term only. Remove him sooner if possible. He will abuse the military again for any crusade he can again and again. UnAmerican!

  19. That photo is brilliant, you see him how is…cold…

  20. One, dumb, KKK, white supremacist, football coach from the most illiterate state in the Union, ABUSES the power of the Senate for his personal HATRED of abortion rights for WOMEN who got pregnant from a man who will not give her child support. GOP=HATRED for women and want them to be 2nd class citizens barefoot and pregnant and POOR. This way they will be "submissive" to the males as stated 3,000 years ago in the Bible.

  21. Santos is still better than anything on the Democrat side.

  22. He needs to drop his pay to the lowest pay that he froze on the military!!

  23. I am sad that tubberville relented but god bless him he is a great individual massive cajones for holding out for as long as he did

  24. Tuberville is pathetic out of retribution hurting our Military! Vote Blue 💙

  25. a mediocre coach showed us what an elite force and superpower we nerver really were as he held it hostage.

  26. He needs to be voted out. He's too stupid to see how he harmed our national security and military readiness. We need to rewrite that rule because no one person should have that much power. Absolute power absolutely corrupts.

  27. You shouldn't be in the political arena.You had your day at Ole Miss.

  28. “It’s pretty much a draw” aka I lost and I’m trying to save face.

  29. He should be locked up as a terrorist and enemy of America.

  30. That's exactly why we the American people shouldn't VOTE for any Republican in Congress VOTE 💙

  31. This is exactly why we should change policies within Congress these Republicans in Congress our doing so much damage to our country PERIOD

  32. Maybe Tuberville will head back to Russia to play with Pootin collect his cheque and drink that good ole Russian Tea. Novichoc anyone?

  33. What do you mean the American public didn't vote. You Tubervill and the GOP and some wouldn't like how I vote. My vote Tubervill you would never be allowed again again to have that kind of hold and power. What I have to say for you and most of the GOP is not human consumption. Course for the voter's'.

  34. A lot more lives than 400 everyone in the United States

  35. Time for Tuberville to go back to Alabama. They can have him. AMERICA STAY VIGILANT and VOTE BLUE. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  36. Putins last check must have bounced

  37. That is so narcissistic to think that Tommy tupperville speaks for the American people! WOW!
