There's as much to gain for some on the left in pointing at Tuberville and saying "he's the problem" as there is for Tubs in pandering to the rightwing
It's political theater, and most of the actors are summer stock extras
Insanity. Tubs canβt stop military people from having abortions. He can simply make the costs more painful and punish the soldiers who need these services. I donβt know how many people are claiming these reimbursements, but i canβt imagine itβs a huge number. The relative insignificance of what Tubs is hoping to achieve versus the damage heβs doing to our military is worse than staggering, its cause for removal from the Senate.
Yeah, it's not just dumbfuck Tubs who is causing problems. Ted Cruz is also blocking a bunch of spots from being filled, because of course he fucking is.
Have no fear, disposed Speaker McCarthy is here, and he knows exactly whoβs to blame for yet another Middle East crisis thatβs been going on since the Fred Flintstone era - Joe Biden. Because of reasons, Biden is the reason Hamas attacked Israel and murdered innocent civilians. Oh, and, because removing Qevin created a void felt βround the world, and the absence of Qevβs leadership inspired Hamas to act. No, really. He and the GOP are suggesting that. The global political balance was thrown into chaos byβ¦Matt Gaetzβ¦and the ONLY way to (finally) bring peace to the Middle East is to reinstate Qev. There is no tragedy too horrifying to blame on a democratic potus. Never let an opportunity to smear the sitting potus pass you by!
Now see, the way I heard it was that President Trump gave the Russian ambassador code-level Israeli intel, and Russia gave it to their allies the Saudis, and the Saudis gave it to Hamas, making their attack so successful.
So, I guess it was the Trump Crime Family this time?
I read that. Iβm not sure Trumpβs pathetic leaking of intel in the Oval Office to Russians or Biden unfreezing $6 billion in Iran oil money had an ounce of effect on this attack. Quite possibly neither event did. Itβs far deeper than that. These different ideologies in the Middle East despise each other, and are very willing to kill and die for their cause. This attack was planned and coordinated, but it involved a few hundred militants using conventional weapons against unarmed festival goers. It probably didnβt cost hundreds of millions of dollars to execute. The GOP are only interested in tragic events to the extent they can blame the events on democrats. And, how odd they are desperate to give immediate aide to Israel. They donβt want to help Ukraine at all anymore. But now they are all about sending money to help an ally, if it scores political points.
ARggghhh, this is just a stupid made up rule. Just change the rule. Or ignore it. You think McConnell would let some sniveling idiot from the other side of the aisle hold up military promotions because the rules required it? McConnell shat on rules for breakfast. Or something.
Schumer needs to schedule the Senate for the next four-six weeks to do nothing but this, confirming them one at a time. The Senate GOP will put up with it only so long till Tubs caves under pressure from his own caucus. Schumer should have done this months ago. This really passes me off.
You really think senate Rs are capable of shame? Tubsy will hold his breath til he passes out. And as pissed as I am about him single-handedly damaging our military readiness, I say we let him dig his own grave.
Why doesn't the Senate do what the House threatened to do with Gaetz?
It's not like it would hurt the Republicans. He's from a red state with an R governor. He'll be replaced by another crazy nutjob, but maybe a crazy nutjob that's not going to hurt military readiness. It's not like he's got a nationwide following like the mango menace.
He does not give a shit about children, unborn or not. Nor does he care about taxpayers. Itβs past time to find out who his handlers are. This stupid motherfucker is a traitor.
Meanwhile McTurtle and the rest of the Senate Rs are so sad there's nothing they could do. I mean, is isn't like Tupperware is doing it all by hisself.
I read somewhere (maybe here!) that the socks that go missing from the dryer morph into Tupperware lids that don't fit any of the Tupperware containers that you have.
But on a more serious note, mockingly calling Tuberville Tupperware only reinforces the incorrect pronunciation of his name. To wit, double consonant after a vowel rules that the vowel is pronounced "short" (Rabbit) while a single consonant results in a "long" vowel (Rabies). So, Tuberville has an "Uber" sound - long vowel, while Tupperware has a "rubber" sound - short vowel. It ain't hard; I learned it at the 4th Ward Grade School 65 years ago. So it's Tuber ( /ΛtoΝobΙr/ ) - ville. A school teacher friend of mine once told me that people can choose the pronunciation of their own name and I replied (characteristically) "Bullshit, ya' can't spell it Smith and pronounce it Jones" and I might add you can't spell it Tuber and pronounce it Tubber.
I certainly hope that the majority of active-duty military are paying attention to all this fuckery going on by Tubbyville and will appropriately punish the right party next year.
Put every name being held up by Tubby Tumorville in the defense appropriations bill and have them voted on there. Rethug MAGAts are veering further and further int traitorsville.
Well we read him for filth today!
This is all on Schumer now. He needs to hold the senate 24/7 until Tubervilleβs prostate explodes. Easy Peasy.
Oh my stars! Please tell me thatβs a thing?
Yeah if women can filibuster for hours in heels these old ass men can put on their big boy adult diapers and run nonstop until itβs done.
100% But for some unknown reason they wonβt even consider itβ¦

True as hell. The ads write themselves. God I hate silly season. Rather than do things that need doing itβs all brinksmanship and games.
Option 1: anti-woman fanaticism
Option 2: sheer cussedness
Option 3: keeping the positions open, as McConnell did on the Supreme Court, to be filled by Trump storm troopers.
Option 4: coach

And while they're at it, a certain Senator Rand Paul is why we don't have an ambassador to Israel.
Yeah, it's not just dumbfuck Tubs who is causing problems. Ted Cruz is also blocking a bunch of spots from being filled, because of course he fucking is.
Fuck Ted Cruz

But how is Hunter Bidenβs dong involved, thatβs what I want to know.
It's just that big. It couldn't help but violate national borders.
Now see, the way I heard it was that President Trump gave the Russian ambassador code-level Israeli intel, and Russia gave it to their allies the Saudis, and the Saudis gave it to Hamas, making their attack so successful.

republicans: can't live with them and can't seem do do what is necessary.
It's coming.

100%
Pisses. Fuck autocorrect you fucking fuck.
But we have to keep in mind Tubervilles' long career in the military . . .
Nope, wait. He never served. But he graduated from a backwater college where he played football and then coached football so . . .
I've got nothing.
He has, at least, his delusions of competence.
I'd like to Coach him right off a fucking cliff.
"Hey coach, go long. Keep going, I got a strong arm..."
Hang on a minute! Didnβt Jared broker a Mideast peace deal? How is there a war?
And the Saudis gave him 2 billion big ones. I bet their faces are red.
Something something Bidenβs fault.
Another stunning win for TFG's administration.
Hunter Biden's laptop, probably.
I thought he fixed it - sort of like how we don't have opioids any more
Jared's the BEST!!!!!
