Traitor Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), white nationalist asshat

[Foggy]

I'm sorry, but "He's stupid" is not much better than "He's a bigot to the bone," which is what I think is going on.

[Tiredretiredlawyer]

He is both - stupid cuz he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar Foundation scheme and a racist. I will bet a whole $1 that he is also a malignant narcissist.

[Rolodex]

Also super untrustworthy to add to his other attributes. Years ago he was head coach at Ole Miss. There had been rumors of him leaving, but he firmly said, "They're gonna have to carry me out in a pine box." And then a few weeks later left for another coaching job. During the election, he was called "Pine box Tommy" a lot. I think those football fans wrote in Saban that election (anything other than voting for a D, which would cause widespread devil worship, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes and baby killers making everyone turn gay).

Not to mention his worming out of a fraud conviction in an investment scheme. His partner was convicted. He's a truly awful "human" being.

Welcome, Rolodex. Nice to meet you. I appreciate your personal recollections of this idiot.

His adamant anti-abortion stance makes me wonder how many girls he’s privately sent to Jacksonville, which as I understand it is where all Republican hypocrites send their side ladies.

He's been a coach in a lot of places (I don't follow college football so I'd have to look it up). I just know the Ole Miss story from the election, and that he was at Auburn once. As a football coach you know he had to have a lot of knowledge about the side pieces (Auburn is close to Panama City, FL, so I'm sure they're there, too) and how to handle abortions (which were available with lots of hoops till Roe was overturne'td).

I don't think my R friends here think he's particularly smart or well-suited, but there's a weird social stigma about voting for Democrats (if we ever even have any on the ballot), so they can't bring themselves to vote for any D. I don't get it. I think they think it's all about taxes (and it used to be abortion) so they'll take all the idiocy to get that. We're all privileged in our group so nothing that happens in DC really is going to affect their lives. They are kind people, one on one, but they're convinced that all the Ds want is to give free stuff to lazy people.

And there's no question unacknowledged racism is at work, too.

A southern tradition unfortunately...

It must be a day that ends in Y. Happy Veteran's Day to those that served! Not like that asshat Tubervile.

Tuberville is blocking military promotions again

Fetterman's turn:

► Show Spoiler

Fetterman now presiding over the Senate during Tuberville’s blockade on military nominations

[raison de arizona]

Can't have those promotions going through... The dude is just evil. And a traitor.

Tuberville: Schumer is sending over a resolution to bypass what I'm doing.. I'm hearing that we've got some Republicans that might vote for it and it would pass and these promotions would would go through. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

[raison de arizona]

All they need to do is peel off some Rs that love their country and respect the military, and we can get this logjam cleared. For the moment.

It is time to change the rule and bypass Tuberville, @SenSchumer is ready to bring to the floor a vote to allow the promotions with the 60 vote threshold.
Let’s put Senators on the record for all to see .

I was reading an Alabama-based article the other day talking about how military/vets groups - even in AL - are giving up on going after him. They've started writing and calling his big donors and others in his sphere. They're calling him a lost cause and going after others. This seems like a wise tactic.

[Slim Cognito]

Something about wrestling with pigs?

His lustre may be dulling in unexpected places. A friend recently - someone I'm sure votes R consistently (and is probably a Fox watcher) said to me that Tubs is wrong about everything. We were talking about the weather and the time change and that came totally out of the blue! I said I had an unpopular opinion about DST (prefer reg time) and he says something like well whatever tuberville says it'll be wrong because can't get anything right. I was stunned.

[Slim Cognito]

Cool! (And I agree with you about preferring standard time. Seeing those grade school kids standing at the bus stop in total darkness at 7:00 a.m. scares the crap out of me.)

We start school at 6:50-Breakfast at 6:40

My kids are on the bus sometimes by 6 am

Senate Rules panel votes along party lines to break Tuberville’s military holds

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/430 ... press.coop

The Senate Rules Committee voted along party lines Tuesday to advance a resolution that would allow Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to confirm more than 350 military promotions being held up by Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) in a single package.

The resolution, however, would not apply to nominees to the Joint Chiefs of Staff or commanders nominated to lead combatant commands.

The Rules panel’s 9-7 vote means Schumer can bring the resolution to the Senate floor, but it needs 60 votes to pass.

“One member of the Senate, the senior senator from Alabama, has defied long-standing Senate custom and prevented the swift bipartisan confirmation of hundreds of generals and flag officers,” Schumer, a member of the Rules Committee, said before the vote. “What Sen. Tuberville [is doing] is truly an anomaly that does much harm and requires a response.”

Schumer added, “If my Republican colleagues can’t convince Sen. Tuberville to relent, I will bring it to the floor shortly for a vote.”

“We need to get these military nominees confirmed ASAP for the sake of our national security,” he said.

Even though Republican senators are growing exasperated over Tuberville’s nine-month hold on hundreds of military nominees to protest the Pentagon’s abortion policy, they’re not ready to vote for a resolution to change Senate procedure for the rest of the 118th Congress.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), who also sits on the Rules Committee, said he opposes the Pentagon’s policy of paying the travel expenses of service members who cross state lines to obtain abortions but reiterated that he does not support Tuberville’s holds.

[Slim Cognito]

Sooooo, he's saying he'll vote for it?

Yeah, right.

[raison de arizona]

Expel Tubervile.

NEWS: The Rules Committee just advanced a resolution to allow the Senate to confirm military nominations and promotions being held up by Sen. Tuberville

@SenAmyKlobuchar: “We need to stand up for our military and our national security and allow these promotions to move forward.”

Tommy needs to think he's got the most authority in the room.

I suggest that UCLA is studying its option for a new coach for next year.

Maybe his people should talk to their prople?

[Phoenix520]

Texas A&M has an opening.

Commenter #1 on an Arizona board:
Tubberville in Westwood would be hilarious. He’d last 6 minutes into his first press conference.

Commenter #2:
Only if they started 4 minutes late.
