There are folks who think Tuberville has a backpfeifengesicht (face in need of a fist). Me, I’m not a fan of that kind of behavior as a problem-solving strategy. But as a red-blooded human being, I admit that the thought itself has a satisfying edge to it.
It was really funny watching the ‘fight’ between Kevin McCarthy and Tim Burchett. McCarthy evidently bumped Burchett from behind, probably on purpose.
Burchett then claimed he’d been kidney punched but did not fall down. McCarthy accused Burchett of LYING, which, being a Republican, he probably was. Kevin knows Republicans, after all.
The funny part was that even though NO punches were thrown, they both talked really tough and yet both were total victims.
.
An amazing display of Republican technique: Tough talk, no punches, posturing for the press, and both sides were The Victim.
“Greedy CEO who pretends like he’s self made. In reality, just a clown & fraud. Always has been, always will be. Quit the tough guy act in these senate hearings. You know where to find me. Anyplace, Anytime cowboy. "
Called out in the above tweet by the bully union boss O’brien, Senator Mullin stands his ground against the bully.
But the bully is a Democrat donor union leader. So the left attacks the one standing up to the bully. Not unlike how many support the terrorists in Hamas.
“On June 15 (2022), the Senate Armed Services Committee voted by voice en bloc to favorably report out a list of 1,231 pending military nominations in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force.”. Now there are 400 in the queue. I’m sure all those absolutely vital officers are carefully reviewed by every senator.
Because Republicans, when push comes to shove, don’t actually give one whit about the men and women serving in our military, or their families.
They only support “the military” as a concept, and as a conduit for cash flowing to military contractors and then back to themselves. They don’t support actual people. Remember, their Lord and Savior, Defendant Trump, has variously called military personnel “suckers” and “losers,” and denigrated our war dead.
Tubby is only capable of thinking in football terms (like the majority of voters in Alabama apparently). So he’s benching the country’s “quarterbacks” until the entire country conforms to his way of “thinking”.
Has Alabama ever been known for anything good? Secession, George Wallace, The 16th Street Baptist Church, Montgomery, Selma, Bull Connor and now – Tubby Tubberville.
There’s no blockade. Dems are free to put up any military candidate they choose. As many times as they choose.
But the Dems do not want individual nominations be subject to comment and scrutiny. So they want to slam a few hundred together and push them through without any debate of any type.
This is a manufactured Democrat crisis. The solution is in their hands.
Tuberville is waiting for “President” Trump to return to office so that he can promote officers loyal to him, so that on the next 6 JAN the military will support him, as planned.
Again, we’ve gone from having the squarest of squares in Congress to having one party putting forward the dumbest, rudest, jerkiest losers they can possibly find. It’s for 2 reasons 1)They’re the easiest for the Libertarian billionaires to control. 2)When you have no intention of ever passing a single serious bill beyond emergency and basic budget bills, you don’t attract serious people. The fact that it makes Congress and Democracy look awful is just a very big benefit to these Fascists.
