  1. I bet Tuberville will still insist that he loves America, his own actions be damned

  2. Why would you expect him to? This has nothing to do with the good of the country or its allies. He never has cared about that and he never will.

  3. Don’t you love elected assholes like this, who believe their own personal “religious beliefs” are more important than the well being of the country they supposedly serve? It’s disgusting that these people are allowed to draw a salary for not doing their job.

  4. Tuberville is hoping the entire region wipes itself out so Christofacists can move in.

  5. I’m not some religious scholar, but my reading of the Bible (and most religions) is about choice. Job had a choice; he did not blame God. You choose to accept Jesus Christ. That’s the whole point of faith, is even though you don’t know, you choose it.

    So what good is it to have an unplanned pregnancy, and be forced to have the child? The real deal seems to come when you have this option and choose to to have the kid. It’s meaningless without choice. And the military has people from all over, from red states and blue states, it has to be this way. It can’t be calling these shots, and has to give service members choice

  6. If I had to draw evil, this is what it would look like, there is a lack of conscience reeking from his pores.

  7. How does ONE idiot politician have that much power. Ridiculous.

  8. One person should not be able to wield this much power.

  9. That makes him a supporter of a known Terrorist organization and subject to being designated as an enemy combatant.

  10. He won’t life the blockade until Trump is in power. He is reserving seats. We need a different system.

  11. Allowing one man the power to hold the US back like this is outrageous. It must change

  12. He couldn’t run a football team, why the fuck is he in charge of anything?

  13. Dude is gonna fuck around and find out that America has a very particular affection for Israel. Specifically on his side of the aisle.

  14. Schumer should do absolutely nothing in the Senate but call for votes on all the people Tuberville is blocking. How they haven’t found a way to remove him from his committee spot is crazy.

  15. He is a traitor, actively impacting national and global security. He should spend some time in Guantanamo.

  16. Shows how weak McConnell is as a Minority Leader OR he, and therefore the entire GOP, support this action entirely.

  17. Hypothetically speaking, do a senator’s holds extend beyond their cessation of vitality?

  18. People should start calling auburn to get them to remove tubberville from its history…

  19. Screws over military, screws all investors with insider trading

  20. You can’t be republican and be a good person at the same time.

  21. How is there no mechanism to go around people like this?!

  22. It’s past time to start whatever process it takes to install our military leaders on an individual basis. Republicans will hold us hostage forever if we let them.

  23. The goal is to delay until Trump is President again and promote people in the military who pass a political tests

  24. Tommy Tuberville is a piece of shit.

    You know what? I take that back and apologize for any unintended offense my thoughtless comments may have caused within the piece of shit community

  25. It’s ridiculous that in the democracy of such a large country, one person can have so much power.

  26. K…it’s officially treason as of right fucking now.

  27. He’s already said he doesn’t care if they don’t promote anybody. He’s also said he wouldn’t be blocking promotions if he thought it affected military readiness or recruitment.

    He’s a contradiction in terms and he doesn’t even realize it. Or hell, maybe he does and he just doesn’t care.

  28. Ensuring all the top military positions are vacant for Trump in 2024.

  29. Help me understand this. i don’t think it’s in the constitution that Senators have the power to individually hold up things like this.
    What gives them this authority? And, isn’t there some way to end it?

  30. Why can’t there be an emergency declaration which gives the military the ability to do its on thing during a military based crisis? I don’t get why nobody is just going over this guy to make these appointments.

  31. Where is the infuriated, cannibalistic mob when you need them?

  32. Is there not some way to kick this asshole off of this committee?

  33. Tommy Tuberville is a Russian asset and a traitor to America. He’s willingly undermining our military’s leadership.

  34. Give him a f’n uniform and send him to either Ukraine or the Gaza Strip. Without a weapon, map or guide.

  35. A bunch of dead Jews? Perfect – an evangelical christian’s wet dream!

  36. What is it with Republicans?

    The rich one don’t like paying taxes so they game the system to hurt the poor, immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ+, women, and anyone else in their way.

    The military and military adjacent ones were so pissed off that a Saudi used other Saudis to attack America with Saudi resources, so we proceeded to attack 2 totally different countries than Saudi Arabia or the country bin Laden was actually hiding in. But they made a lot of money making more enemies for America.

    And then there is this asshole, who hates anyone different than him SO much that he is willing to cripple an organization, the US military, that is worth TRILLIONS of dollars…just to make political points.

    And guess what? This doesn’t include ANYONE in Congress OR in Florida OR in TEXAS.

    Fuck the GOP, and fuck Tommy Tuberville. Conservativism is a DISEASE.

  37. I’m not much for conspiracies, but between Trump having top secret documents about “a foreign ally” that we’re at Mar A Lago, the Speaker being vacated so foreign aid can’t be quickly allocated, and Tuberville jamming up the US Military…

    It certainly feels like it could be a number of events planned to start a war on Israel without US intervention.

  38. The Biden administration needs to short list all military bases in alabama for closure.

    Theres nothing done at ft rucker that cant be done at ft campbell. Like 90% of the pilots that graduate there end up flying for the 101st anyways; just consolidate in the name of fiscal responsibility or something and make sure the locals understand that it was tubervilles fault.
