Its scary what one senator can do.
hope he realizes the precedent he's setting here is very dangerous, though the Democrats would be unlikely to use such a tactic to get what they want, he's trying to be the first
Tuberville needs to be forced to resign he’s putting peoples lives at risk … follow the money …. Why is he a senator in Alabama when he lives in Florida? He needs to be tied to every republican as being weak on security…. Vote blue …. Republicans are the party that is unfit to govern….. and why is anyone still supporting Donald when they all know he’s a clear and present danger … please stand up ….
Every veteran in Alabama who voted this deranged man into Congress should be ashamed.
This is now the status quo in this country. One Republican Congressional member can throw a tantrum about every aspect of American life and hold up important work. At every turn, their attempts at achieving their aims through a form of blackmail, is not serving the American people. VOTE THE GOP OUT.
We really need more executive military leadership. I’m sure that’ll fix our military
TYPO: Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala should be Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Fla. Because he and his wife domicile in Santa. Rosa Beach, Florida and not Alabama. Speaks volume for the good people of Alabama!
The Marine commandant, Gen. Eric Smith, has been in the hospital after reportedly experiencing a heart attack on Sunday for pulling double duty because of Tuberville blocking the promotion to have a Deputy. Now the Marine Corp is floundering and yet Tuberville said his blocking will not affect our military readiness. REALLY!?!
Hold firm most American can write national security take a look at security the liberals have diminished that so national security what joke for a person to equate his stand to that stop it. We can agree to disagree at this point. America in debt Ukraine and Biden are in bed together you people out there what shame with some out there 💯
You don't get it. Tuberville is getting some form of invisible backbone support. Perhaps he is being paid and "run" by another foreign country who wants the USA to be weakened so that said foreign country will attack the USA in the way that Hamas attacked weakened Israel or the way that Russia attacked Ukraine. Someone has to get strong-armed with Tuberville. He is too cocky and his confidence is because someone or some organization or some department is his puppeteer.
We were never a super power nor elite. 1 single mediocre coach brought us to a grinding halt 🇺🇸
Stupid people really shouldn't be allowed into positions of authority.
This man is not worried about abortion as much as he says. He is worried that those that are not White will get in there and do no work like the lazy MAGA party. He thinks other races are joining the Military to sit behind a desk and get a free meal.
Republicans are the worst people on the planet.
What a Traitor!
The dirty little secret of Senatorial power is that a Senator cannot pass things, but he or she can prevent things from passing. Senators do not want to lessen that power.
Tuberville did not s serve. He was a football coach. Football d bags think that somehow makes them men. Its a boys game. This guy never served and should shut up and let the men and women with balls to serve
Just expel him! He LiVES in FLORiDA🔁('illegallly'…) "#representing" 'ALABAMA'⁉️‼️😱
Tommy Tuberville-When all else fails I will have job security with the Kremiln. 🤑
Tubby sure does like attention, lots of attention. Makes him seem important. 😅 Thats what this is about. Trump set the example for all the MAGA chud.
