tuberville is like a walking magic 8-ball. just give him a good shake and no telling what random putin propaganda he'll spit out. The weird thing is it's not even stuff putin is saying...tommyboy just pulls stuff out of his ass.

I'm curious if Bannon pushed back on that...but not that curious.

I also refuse to listen but I'm gonna guess he did not push back on that at all.

Then Senator Potatoburg could spend the rest of the day looking for his nose. That would be a much more productive use of his time than being just another shill for Putin.

“He just wants to make sure that he does not have United States weapons in Ukraine pointing at Moscow.”

What is this, the 1950s? ICBMs, an acronym I'm sure Tommy Tuberville could not define, can launch from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world. The idea of needing to be in a neighboring country to be within weapons range hasn't been a thing for many decades. Also, Tommy never bothered to mention why the US or the Ukraine would feel the need to attack Russia.

A competency test for congresscritters might be a good idea. Nothing too fancy, just the basic knowledge of the Constitution, history, government...you know like the test we had to pass in High School. Also, positions on Congressional committees ought to be based on knowledge of the subject, not political favoritism- still remember the fool on some technology subcommittee who drawled, "Whal, ahm jes a good ol'boy an ah don' know nuthin' bout them com-puters..."

So you Alabamians voted for this guy instead of the civil rights lawyer who prosecuted hate crimes in Alabama.... wait... I see the issue... never mind.

Alabama Republicans say Tubs doesn't mean any harm. It's just that he's too stupid to understand the issues and, possibly, the English language. Anonymously, of course.

I'm surprised the House and Senate both don't have English-to-Stupid translators always on call.

Then they should coach him to never stand in front of a microphone. He's an embarrassment to the party and the state every time he opens his mouth.

Why do we keep sending idiots to Congress to make idiotic decisions based upon idiotic ideas? ANYBODY???

"Remember when Strom Thurmond was so old and decrepit that his aides had to wheel him onto the Senate floor and tell him which button to push so he voted the way he would have voted before his brain turned into melted butter?"

My favorite quote about Strom Thurmond. I had always credited this quote to Bob Dole, just because it sounds like something Dole would have said: "When he dies," a fellow senator once remarked, "they'll have to beat his pecker down with a baseball bat to close the coffin lid."

Simpler solution is to put him in the box on his side and reverse head and foot. But, yeah, I got it the first time through.

When I was in grade school we were encouraged to get the NYTimes for 3 cents a day through a school program . That's about what it seems to be worth today.

Do any of Biden's tales begin with "Big burly men with tears on their eyes come up to me and say 'Sir, many people are saying' "

I don’t know what scenario is worse - either Putin is paying all these Republicans to stand up for him or they’re offering to jerk him off for free.
