Calm down. It's not about Dems saving Republicans, it's about us having the staffing needed for our Nat Security. Dems are out there fundraising off LOOK AT TUBBYVILLE. Sorry, Schumer and Durbin could have changed rules to make this go faster. They falsely think you can shame Rs into doing the right thing. I am a solid Democrat but I'm sick of leadership not wielding their power like their lives depend on it. |
Do you know how many votes it takes to change Senate rules? They could not get Rs on board. |
If you thought it would be so easy to change Senate rules, don't you think they would have changed them? |
| All these lies about Sen Tuberville. We love in in Birmingham. |
What are the lies? He is undermining the US Military. He is a racist. He lives in Florida. |
Oh no not the fight it over there crowd again. |
Not really selling Birmingham Tommy Tuberville is a traitor. That old man has an issue with the military. Alabama is very clear where there’re at. To hell with that state |
True. Shelby spent the 4th of July in Russia a few years ago and I’m sure he told coach what the orders were. |
Oh please he lost to Vanderbilt and this is a thousand times worse. |
| Has Tuberville served? |
No and he lies about his family’s service. He claimed something like his grandfather was a commander of some kind but there’s no record of that. |
+1 If I were in the military I would be offended that I am trusted to give my life for this country, trusted with weapons and information to defend this country, yet some yahoo thinks I can’t be trusted to make the best healthcare decision for myself or my partner? These are adults, they don’t need paternalistic asshats scaffolding their behavior. Not to mention that he’s irrevocably delaying and hindering the careers of service members who have nothing to do with the policy. Typical white male privilege tantrum. |
| A tuber is a root vegetable. Root vegetables are not known for their intelligence. A ville is a place. Tuberville is the place of the root vegetables. To be a Tubeville is to hail from a place where people with all the intelligence of a root vegetable have been inbreeding for generations. A tuber finds itself in Congress and acts with all the intelligence of a tuber. What's the big shocker here? |
+1 “Tuberville says his father lied about his birthday to enlist at age 16 and then went on to become a tank commander who earned five Bronze Stars, landed at Normandy Beach on D-Day, and drove a tank through Paris when U.S. forces freed the city from Nazi control. While there is no question that Tuberville’s father served in WWII, it is unlikely—and in some cases impossible—that he achieved everything else Tuberville brags about. Charles Tuberville was born on July 16, 1925. His draft registration card shows he submitted it on July 16, 1943—his eighteenth birthday. His tombstone lists his highest rank as technician fifth grade (TEC 5). This rank indicates technical skills, not combat leadership. He reportedly was only a corporal, not a sergeant (the minimum rank to be a tank commander). While it is possible he could have filled in for a tank commander, it is unlikely that he was regularly in that position. Charles Tuberville also did not earn five Bronze Stars. No after-action reports mention that he earned the award given for “heroic or meritorious achievement or service” in combat, nor is it mentioned on his tombstone or in his widow’s obituary. A photo of him shows that he earned five Bronze Service Stars, which show that a soldier was physically present during a particular military campaign. It is also impossible for Charles Tuberville to have driven a tank through Paris on the day it was liberated. After-action reports for his tank battalion show they were about 90 miles away from the city at the time.” https://newrepublic.com/post/174614/tommy-tuberville-wrecking-military-lies-dad-military-record |
