> Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a prominent Senate defense hawk, said that he will be ready to vote for a resolution to change Senate procedure and allow Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to bring hundreds of military promotions to the floor to be confirmed en bloc if Tuberville doesn’t cut a deal to break the backlog by Christmas.

> “I promise you this. This will be the last holiday this happens,” Graham told Tuberville on the Senate floor, referring to the uncertainty faced by the group of military officers heading into Thanksgiving.
It’s almost as if a significant part of the GOP couldn’t care less about the military! /s
“I’ll tell you this! After ignoring the negative impact on military readiness and families for months I simply won’t stand for it when the press starts to turn on me!”
– Lindsey “I’m Foghorn Leghorn’s evil doppelganger” Graham
… We’re gonna do something about this, just as soon as I get back from going to parties and singing songs and opening presents.
Why are people so gullible they believe Republicans.
When this passed out of committee it was a party line vote.
Watch it fail with 58 votes, if Mitch wanted this to stop it would have stopped months ago.
They just want you to think they are against it, talk is cheap.
I feel like I’ve been reading this same article for weeks now. “We’re prepared to overcome the blockade at any moment.” A lot of talk, but no action.
Wake me when it happens. About the fifth time this type of headline has been published.
WTF?! Why is Christmas the deadline, why not next Wednesday? Tuberville has been holding up what should be just procedural BS for a long time already. Over his personal religious beliefs, not an actual issue important to the majority of Americans. Separation of church and state…
Tommy T is just acting like a true GQP member. A jerk. Why would other senators think his behavior is at odds with theirs?
I’d like to see Tubby rollin’ away.
He should’ve stayed coaching and out of politics. He is truly dumb.
Tommy Tuberville should be investigated for his stock trading, his actual state of residence, his failure to donate his salary to veterans, and his possible ties to Russia and China.
Do it already.
Cool, I’m 44 and I’m getting ready to be a professional hockey player as well as a famous rock star.
I’ll believe it when I see it
If they were serious they’d take him off the committee and bench him like the fourth string walk-on he is.
Tell me who the 10 will be that vote for the rule change.
Until then it’s all talk.
Tubby is planning a coup for next year and putting every American citizen in danger
>But Ullyot acknowledged it’s a very tough decision because holding up military nominees is one of the few points of effective leverage lawmakers have over policymakers at the Department of Defense and White House, especially when they are in the minority.
So holding up our military’s ability to be ready and keeping their jobs in the balance seems feasible to the pro military party? Am I reading this correctly?
What a trash headline
the heat from the fire isn’t hot enough yet. Republicans only do anything if their own personal elections are in danger. They’ve proven they’ll let an asshat like Tubby do any jackhole stunt he wants as long as they don’t get any horseshit on their shoes. But once they do, they band together to end it.
the “get er done by Christmas” quote tells me they don’t care enough yet.
Why does the military by and large alway support the republicans? It makes zero sense.
Getting ready?
Are they gearing up? Collecting materials? Are they prepping the day before? Salting overnight?
What the fuck does this mean?
Please, this is the usual bullshit pretending to grow a nut and have any sense of morals. Let’s see some action from these spineless pricks.
About fucking time they did something. You can’t claim to love and support the military and then negatively affect military readiness and an individual’s career.
Right after these messages!
“Ready to roll *over for*” more like.
“Republican senators are laying the groundwork to vote before Christmas” Fuck them ,why don’t they do it now ?
Poor “Tube”. 😂
I heard it said that
They waited a Putin/China amount of time to do anything
Every republican, including vets, would gladly bury the rest of the armed forces under a latrine if it would benefit them personally
“Preparing! You’re always preparing! Just go!” – Dark Helmet
They won;’t.
Why could the democrats not do the same thing next year if he is able to stop all of this by himself right now? Why wouldn’t democrats start taking each position to vote daily? Can’t they vote each nominee in 1 by 1? Start at the highest position and move down the line
Another fake tough-guy who thinks his experience as an average football coach makes him qualified to make decisions about the military. This is the Republican Party in 2023.
Omg how long does this move take
“Let the negotiations play out a little longer”..?!!
What negotiations?! Is Tuberville in the weeds drafting some new medical protocols for the fucking army? Does it involve shooting the A-gap or zone coverage? That’d be the only thing I’d allow this jerk to draft
