Tuberville and his religion both need to fuck right off out of our government. This man is refusing to do his job unless the government bows to his religion. Fuck him and his imaginary friend.

In older times they'd be pulling out the walking canes and beating his ass on the Senate floor

If the missiles were about to fly between us and China, he'd still be bitching about abortion.

There is no pressure from the right, so why would he? The right are ready to burn everything down, just to own the libs. It's not about policy or national security anymore.

He's probably a Russian asset and that's the real reason he's doing this

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I personally don't think so I'm betting that he's just a "woke" crazed Republican who doesn't care who he hurts as long as he's fighting "woke-ness"

The plan is to stall all military leadership until the #fascist #GOP takes power where they will install "coup friendly" leaders.

Make no mistake, we are rapidly moving past Jury Box to Ammo Box.

Ugh I didn't think of that ... I sure hope not.

[–] tomatillo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He's a Trump asset, not a Russian asset (although those are the same thing at this point)

Alabama is going to be so surprised when all of its military bases are shuttered.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

A BRAC attack?

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Pull all funding for Alabama military. Fuck this asshole.
