  1. Can Tuberville be impeached for not residing in "his" state? They're more than snowbirds. They are full time residents of Florida.

  2. Lloyd " Affirmative Action " Austin is as useless as a White Crayon.

  3. Austin wants to get back to killing with impunity.

  4. MILITARY PERSONNEL IS NOT A
    BUD LIGHT
    BEER CAN.

  5. They dont deserve better because they consistently vote red… so no sympathy from me.

  6. One more eye opener on how the Maga Republicans are a threat to this wonderful nation.

  7. When y’all in America get attacked by China, you will see. China is waiting for moments like this. I’m outta here.

  8. Tuberville is a traitor to the United States military and people.

  16. Tuberville does not deserve to be a member of the Senate

  17. Tuberville is pulling a Mitch McConnell.

  18. Same thing for the PACT ACT. MAGA senators high five each other when they voted No. It took 2x votes w/Veteran protests for 3 days to get bipartisan to pass! 🤦🏻‍♀️ #VoteBlue if you pro our Military n Veterans!

  22. Doesn't seem to slow them down from continuing to send millions and millions of our money to Ukraine

  23. Hey, let’s not forget that concussions in college level sports can have lasting impact…..
    Thoughts and prayers 🙏

  24. Racist Tommy Tuberville lives in FL and doesn't own property in AL.
    His wife works fulltime in FL, and only his son has rental property in AL.
    Why is he representing AL?

  25. Republicans, party over country every time. Just like everyone else, military are just props for despicable people like Tuberville. He sucked as a coach to, look it up before you make yourself look foolish.

  26. Oh yeah the senator who doesn’t even live in the state he is supposed to represent. That’s the republicans for you cheat and lie at every opportunity

  27. All I see is the GOP purposely making America weak. Vote 💙 in '24

  28. The Pentagon has blocked cooperation with the ICC over alleged war crimes in Ukraine due to “reciprocity” against US troops in the future…. Secretary of Defense Austin

  29. Seriously. Hes choosing not to make promotions based on a political or religious view; not to mention threatening national security in order to leverage a policy.
    Both of those are unconstitutional; and can be said to ne treasonous.

  30. The rest of the Senate could over ride him, so its sanctioned by the full Senate. If you have ever been to Alabama, you know that this racist jerk has one of the safest seats in the Senate. This is why the Republicans picked him to do this

  31. Perhaps the biden admin should stop pushing ideology in the military

  32. Goes to show you that our military leaders allegiance lies directly with the demoncrats which is absolutely horrendous.

  33. At this point in history the Republican party is nothing but a domestic terrorists group. What's next from them? Burning the American flag while yelling death to America in tRump hats.
