Tuberville defended Trump’s right to choose his team, urging senators to “vote with President Trump.”
The same Tuberville that held up more than 300 of Biden's non-political military promotions now thinks nominations should just get a rubber stamp?
I mean if you were hoping for some gotcha on them being hypocrites you should know by now that they don't care and neither do their supporters.
Tuberville himself wouldn't, but a lot of Republicans thought that was dumb as shit and was directly hurting military readiness. He does not have a good reputation in his own party thanks to that stunt. Tuberville's voters will still come out for him, but it takes more than that to get things done in Congress.
It's quite possible that more than a few Republicans will ignore Tuberville. The senate breakdown will be 47/53, so it doesn't take many to stop it.
Yes. He would have zero issue with your comment. He would smile. He is not attempting to be logically consistent
Yes. They don't care. Stop wasting your time pointing out their overt hypocrisy. It's exactly what they want.
You are right. These people only speak one language. The same language we spoke to the Nazis last time.
Being moral or consistent is viewed as a weakness for the qons.
child predator gaetz?
Child predator, paid children for sex over venmo gaetz. Yes.
qon-addled magabrainz: "OMG! Hillary is sex trafficking children out of the basement of a pizza parlor with no basement, YOU GUYZZZ!"
{ Actual sex trafficker gets nominated for AG }
Also qon-addled magabrainz: "If anyone questions this pedo being AG, we will END YOU!"
are these those checks and balances i’ve heard so much about?
Yes, but not in the way Sen McChucklefuck thinks. Senators are a famously ornery bunch. They're not going to respond well to threats.
Gaetz, who recently resigned from Congress
What!? How did I miss that?
Are you telling me he was gone and now Trump has brought him back... what the fuck.
This must be how Marty McFly felt. This really is a Biff timeline
I believe it happened right after Trump's AG news was announced. It also conveniently came right before an ethics report was about to be released on him after the investigations finished
Damn I would have been very happy about that.
Now there's only sadness.
He has to resign to be AG. But yes resigning on just the nom, with the ethics report set to be released Friday, does make the whole thing stink. Especially given that Trump is transactional.
This really is a Biff timeline
Biff is based on donvict, because it's been known for decades just what a total asshole he is.
In the movie, Biff Tannen – Hill Valley’s number-one citizen, America’s greatest living folk hero and Marty McFly’s arch nemesis – resides in a palatial penthouse atop a casino, which bears a striking resemblance to the Trump Plaza Hotel, which opened its doors five years before the film premiered.
GOP Senators: Sorry, I won't get to represent you this term. Thanks for the votes though, and the 6-figure salary and sweet benefits package. Byeeee!
And lifetime pension regardless of time served.
The pension value can be up to 80% of the member's final salary, which is $174,000 per year. At an 80% rate, that's a pension benefit of $139,200. (The Speaker of the House has a salary of $223,500. The Senate President makes $193,400, as do the majority and minority leaders in the House and Senate.) All benefits are taxpayer-funded.
Tuberville is another reason why Alabama remains f'ed up.
Tuberville? More like GROOMERville.
Yeah I’m sure senators will respond well to threats — as well as some house members did to threats from Gym Jordan to make him Speaker.
Its about time someone ended Tommy's career. I can't believe his own actions haven't. Dude is just a grade A cunt
I can no longer find the head of the human centipede that is maga.
Maybe Russia. They're close to the front, at least.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville must be aware that the next time anyone is going to vote on any US Senators is (hopefully) in 2026, right?
Any guesses as to how soon it’ll be until Ol’ Tommy gets his face eaten by them leopards?
He's rotten and party loyal enough that he'll probably be around until the end of the regime.
