If anybody could make a college team lose to a junior high, it would be Tuberville.

"Alabama's Stupidest Export"...

Scratch that. He's Flori-duh's stupidest export. He lives in Santa Rosa Beach.

Shame, isn't it? Florida gets 3 Senators and Alabama only gets one. Of course, when one of Florida's 3 is Tuberville and one is L'il Marco, I guess those two make 1 whole Senator.

The other one is Scott who counts as negative one.

Traitorous Shit Weasel. It is absolutely bugfucking bonkers crazy that one dumbfuck buffoon can stop Military promotions and that the rest of his party is letting him do it. Not one of them is condemning this fucking nonsense. Most powerful Military in the world brought to its knees, devastated not by war but by one soulless monster who could not give a single fuck about any pregnant person much less their imaginary babies. Unreal.

We need a quiz show competition like in Billy Madison between Tuberville and Ron Johnson to see who truly is the dumbest senator in America.

This must have been what it was like in the 1930s listening to Charles Lindbergh talk about how unbeatable Hitler was, if Lindbergh was a fucking idiot.

Tommy Two Tubs must have taken a lot of helmet-to-helmet hits back in his playing days. Because he sure is a dumbass now. Which meant that a majority of Alabama voters picked him over Doug Jones, because they all know you can’t trust them smart ones.

Tuberville is painfully stupid.

For the record, when Tubs was coach, Auburn coulda been beat by a Jr High team. So he should know.

That so-called junior high team has been beating the Ruzzian varsity now for over 540 days.

This guy and Senator Johnson are clearly Russian assets. Not holding my breath, but the McConnells and Grahams should be calling them out more forcefully.

McConnell’s brain is in power save mode and Lindsey is so far up Trump’s ass I doubt he can even hear Tubs.

So I wouldn’t hold my breath.

The Republican party now is the Republican party that it has always been since WWII. It's been racists and misogynists and xenophobes and luddites all the way down the whole time. BUT it has changed in this one small way: The thin veneer of politically competent, sometimes even tragically noble aristocrats (See Eisenhower's farewell address, the one he gave after knowingly accepting Nixon as his running mate), who made up the top layer is now gone. The GOP is now fielding dumbasses like Tubs at every position.

When you spend three decades using your propaganda networks to promote that idea that being pig ignorant is a virtue and that being an asshole is leadership, this is what you get.

The dumbasses whose brains have been marinating in Foxworld since 1996 are now the leaders of the party.

Since before WWII. Many of them eagerly supported Hitler.

If it's any consolation, you've still got most of the GOP old guard still firmly on the "arm Ukraine harder" side. McConnell, Graham, Grassley, all in your corner.

Like arming Ukraine, apparently.

You mean how the majority of the GOP is against it, or are you stupid enough to say that if parts of the GOP are for and against something that any stance then agrees with the party?

89 Republicans voted for Greene's amendment on the July package, so no, it's not a majority. Remember where their bread is buttered: defense contractors that want to get paid. The MTGs and Gaetzes are internet-poisoned outliers, at least for the time being.

Clown they are for and against it.

You get Greene, Boebert, Trump, Tuberville, Gaetz, Jordan, Comer, Fox News hosts, all the actual Nazis, and the Russians.

Your point?

Trump armed Ukraine to begin with, if you'll recall. Their opposition to arming Ukraine doesn't go any deeper than "owning the libs." But the neocons' most certainly does, and it should give any self-respecting "liberal" pause to be in lockstep with them.

"Trump armed Ukraine to begin with" Rather: Congress appropriated military aid to Ukraine against Trump's will.

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, if you'll recall.

Which has nothing to do with the fascist company you keep. That was your point, wasn't it? Anyone who supports Ukraine is guilty by association because Neocon or some shit? What about the super leftist who agrees with the Nazis? Any guilt attached there?

Expand full comment

Also has nothing to do with my point, which is that for a guy so wedding to Putin as liberals claim, Trump did a lot of things that clearly went against him, like arming Ukraine.

It depends. Is your goal a weaker Russia or to eject their army from Ukrainian territories? They just want the former. The latter can be achieved by diplomacy, at least largely if not entirely. The Tubervilles just think opposing Ukraine funding is "owning the libs." I don't even oppose the funding, I just think it needs to be accompanied by open diplomatic channels.

You seriously have brain worms. Russia can choose to leave, milquetoast fascist

But they aren't, so they have to be made to. Military ain't getting the job done, so that leaves....?

As I already pointed out, where are the Russian diplomatic solutions? Can't do diplomacy with one side not willing to be diplomatic.

Your point was guilt by association. So does that apply to you associating with the fascists?

Weakening Russia and getting their troops out of Ukraine aren't mutually exclusive and certainly aren't separate goals. A weakened Russia won't be able to invade its neighbors again will it? A weakened Russia will be busy on its eastern border pretending it isn't subordinate to China because it really is still a near peer and great power.

It's unfortunate that you can't really grasp that more than one thing can happen at the same time. That those things may in fact be intersectional in some way. But then again you've always had issues with understanding anything intersectional.

Yeah, I get that *you've* entwined those two, but again, even Zelenskyy has admitted this war will end at the negotiating table, so expelling as many Russians from the captured territories will be accomplished in that manner. You're right that Putin, like Zelenskyy, still believes maximal gains are possible, but somebody has to make the first overture; might as well be the co-belligerent with actual leverage.

So if firing your defense minister is a sign things are going bad,, how then are things going when your only effective general turns his troops around and starts heading towards your capital to coup your ass and you eventually have to fire his airplane without even going thru HR?

I emailed Coach Tubs today, quoting this snippet from Heather Cox Richardson's September 5, 2023, "Letter from an American":

'Secretary of the Navy Del Toro, who was born in Cuba, said on CNN: “I would have never imagined that…one of our own senators would actually be aiding and abetting communist and other autocratic regimes around the world. This is having a real negative impact and will continue to have a real negative impact on our combat readiness. That’s what the American people truly need to understand.”'
