Fuuny how the very second Schumer announced he was going to hold the senate until the promotions were approved it took like 10 minutes. Why the f*** didn't he do this ten months ago fer chrissakes!
"On Tuesday, not a single Republican sided with Democrats as the Senate Rules Committee advanced a resolution that would allow mass confirmations of those nominees for the rest of the Congress, an effort that would effectively end Tuberville’s holds."
This was NEVER about abortion. This was an attempt to keep the brass out of service until The Giant Orange Fucktater and his fever dreams about winning and then installing only those that would kiss his ass and show unwavering loyalty to his dictatorship. I'll say it again it was NEVER about abortion. Tubby Tubs was the idiot moran that The Giant Orange Fucktater put in charge of this little attempt to bring the military in line with what Putin had wanted.
Assholes like this never learn. He had his name in newspapers and on television almost daily for almost a year ,with what he thinks is a righteous message. Even if 99% of the public thinks he was being an ass, he will always think he was standing up for his god, the only real.god. And since he really didn't receive any punishment since the rubes in Alabama would reflect him today if it was election day, and all of the members of whatever passes for a Christian church near his home IN FLORIDA will be praising him for standing up against them baby killers in the military. Ignoring the threat to national security it presented. So as far as his warped mind is concerned, he won.
I know (in general) why Tuberville placed a hold on military confirmations, but why did he stop? Just because the rest of the Senate was going to do an end run around him? So what? He could have done a "Lost Cause" type of thing around it and the MAGAts he caters to would be holding parades in his honor.
That pic up top? For the first time, I realized he looks like a stupid Bill Maher.
i mean. we could have had doug jones.
also and too fuck off alabama.
It's not Alabama's fault. It's republican voters that cause this bullshit.
He convinced some idiots that he will do stupid, feckless things to support their cause. This probably means he will be re-nominated.
Ta, Evan. Alabama sent is worst to the Senate.
I hope the voters of Alabama are proud of this dipshit.
No doubt many of them are

Denying senators their Christmas vacation is a powerful motivator.
wasn't tuberville already gone, the bastard?
eat a bag of salted rat dicks, as they say, "coach".
Couch
Another huge waste of time and energy which def helped the American people fighting inflation and Climate change....NOT!
Tuberville folding like a common Ole Miss.
"On Tuesday, not a single Republican sided with Democrats as the Senate Rules Committee advanced a resolution that would allow mass confirmations of those nominees for the rest of the Congress, an effort that would effectively end Tuberville’s holds."
The entire GOP is as craven as Tuberville.
There you have it. Just goes to show you they didn’t care about his hold , Lindsey Graham’s fits notwithstanding.
What are the overtime/expediting costs going to be for the recovery from this?
And Vanderbilt wins again!

Yup. And he proved that he would at least TRY (real hard) to be a useful idiot for them.
So he failed his Trump God and presumably now will be POS non grata?
A little whisper campaign in the right ear, and Trump'll think Tubbs is Bill Maher, and he really hates Bill Maher.

The policy that this moron wasted a year of our lives “protesting” remained in place during his “protest”. Dumbass.

I don't think he's playing any dimension of chess, and that move is not part of checkers.
He's playing bad Snakes and Ladders....
