I just don’t understand the logic of pissing off a million people with automatic weapons, combat training, and a grudge.
How can one person have this kind of power?
The confidence Tuberville portrays and the actions from that are depressing based on what I’m fairly sure is the wrong side of the Dunning-Kruger graph
They need to investigate Turberville to see is he’s working as an agent for China or Russia
Putin could send 100 teams of assassins and they couldn’t accomplish what Tuberville has done.
Tuberville: “I’m going to hold the US Military hostage all by myself unless I get my wish to control women’s reproductive choices in the military.”
Also Tuberville: “yes, it’s more efficient to approve military promotions all at one. But it’s Schumers fault that he won’t go around me and take up all the Senates time to vote each one of these, (there are hundreds), one by one”.
Since Alabama was capable of electing Doug Jones as Senator, I really hope they will see what a disaster Tuberville is, and realize being a mediocre football coach does not provide the experience necessary to be a good Senator.
Amazing how one person can hold the world’s most powerful military. Impressive, but in a scary way.
Why is he doing this again? I mean, I know why he’s doing it, but what reason does he give for why he’s doing it?
What kind of clown-show country allows one idiotic clown to piss all over its military command structure?
The coup only ends when it achieves its goal or the perpetrators are removed from power and thrown in prison.
Why don’t they start approving individually and every vote they ask Tubberville if he is willing to approve more. No ok, next vote. No one goes home, no one goes on a break or a vacation. And each vote you make sure everyone knows it’s because of him they are doing this.
Republicans care about political theater more than a strong military.
One little prick with an overinflated ego can hold an entire nation hostage. Pathetic.
I’m still shocked that ONE man can have so much power and we can’t do anything about it. Wtf dude.
An election denying, freshman Alabama Senator holding the US military hostage is disgusting!
The pentagon should cut spending from Alabama bases and contractors.
Most powerful military on Earth handicapped by a stupid football coach.
Great job, Alabama.
Check this idiots offshore accounts.
This clown is not pulling this bullshit for free or because he’s deeply religious, give me a break, it’s full on grift through and through.
Investigate his finances. You know one of America’s adversaries or another is paying him.
The senate needs to change the rules so this can’t happen, total bullshit and not serving we the people as we deserve so get your shit together!
I live in the state he represents and I fucking hate him
How many of those same Pentagon officials vote Republican? I bet the answer is Most.
How many of the military members whose promotions are being held up by a Republican vote Republican? I bet the answer is Most.
When you stop supporting evil, the nation becomes less evil.
Eli5 in what way is this not providing “aid and comfort” to America’s enemies?
It’s all part of the maga plan. Maga Mike makes sure the overall government isn’t functioning, stop supporting Ukraine. When elections come around, the gov will be “too broken” to have an election, so the red states will choose the candidate they want. Look at the states who added election laws, even though it’s proven there was no election fraud.
It’s concerning that we don’t have some sort of failsafe within our governmental processes to make this whole situation impossible in the first place.
For one dufus to be able to hold up our entire military is silly.
I feel like other countries would jail a politician for this.
Maybe Alabama just doesn’t love America enough to get their traitorous senator to drop this bullshit.
Tuberville is a traitor to the United States and the well-being of our armed forces!
VOTE NEXT WEEK! Make them pay locally! We know where they stand, doesn’t seem to be with our hard working military.
Everybody is focusing on just Tuberville, but blame the Republicans as a whole. If the Republicans wanted to they could join Democrats to vote to change the rules for military promotions so they could be packaged in a single bill.
So it’s not just Tuberville, it’s the GOP enabling Tuberville too.
If a Democrat was doing this, you know that the GOP would be forcing a workaround. The fact that this is not being challenged and taken on seriously by a large group of senators seems really dangerous, and ultimately complicit to me.
Our other senators have a job to do, that is to ensure that things are functioning. Things are not functioning, and they are not ensuring that it gets corrected.

Expel Tuberville before it’s too late.
But Republicans love the military..
