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

p0rtia · #76

Cool!

But I don't get how it happened? Was TT not in the room, or did he just let it go?

Volkonski · #77

Well done Senator Schumer!

#78

No. These are not the promotions Tommy has on hold. These are lower promotions. Nothing re Tommy's holds has changed.

Suranis · #79

Probably wanted to sneak them through before Tubman could block them.

Ben-Prime · #80

I don't understand how this worked: I thought the whole point of Coach TT's performance was that it denied unanimous consent? What exactly am I missing here about this gambit?

Suranis · #81

Fro what I can gather, Shcumer walked out into a nearly empty chamber and said "Hey can everyone here give me unanimous consent?"

*voice in the back* "Yep"

"Lovely. Thanks everyone."

That's why in REAL filibusters, the person doing the block had to stay in the chamber to say "I OBJECT!!!" in case something like that happens. But these days he can frig off to the arms of whatever prostitute Vladimir Putin has paid for him/her that night.

Well, Tuberville started his hold in March. From the list of confirmations in the Congression Record for September 30, there are notations like this:

PN401 ARMY nomination of Robert M.
McTighe, which was received by the Senate and appeared in the Congressional Record of March 14, 2023.
PN402 ARMY nomination of Edward B. Sauter, which was received by the Senate and appeared in the Congressional Record of March 14, 2023.
PN403 ARMY nomination of Joan E. Sommers, which was received by the Senate and appeared in the Congressional Record of March 14, 2023.
PN508 ARMY nomination of Abraham N. Osborn, which was received by the Senate
and appeared in the Congressional Record of April 17, 2023.
PN509 ARMY nomination of Amanda E. Harrington, which was received by the Sen- ate and appeared in the Congressional Record of April 17, 2023.

These nominations were published in the Congressional Record in March and April, but not confirmed until September 30th. They were on hold because of Tuberville. There may be others still on hold. I guess we will find out.

Yes, there are still senior military nominations on hold. Sources say more than 300.

Here is a query of Senate military nominations that are still pending:
https://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/legis ... nonciv.htm

The query returns 138 results (at this time), but many of the nominations refer to more than one person.

Why can't he do Tuberville's list the same way?

#85

I saw the tweet. I was going to post it, but then I decided it wasn't worth it, it just wasn't a big deal. Now I have to go dig it out again I suppose. Fucking tool Tuberville.

Yes or No?

#86

Could have just said, "I'm a pansy assed bitch," and saved a lot of words.

#87

Coach Tommy Tuberville?

What an entitled little pansy.

Says the guy who never served ...
Somehow, I suspect that everything is like a football team he coached to this guy. He's got one gear.
Coached at the college level. I bet he would not have lasted long in the NFL. The professional NFL would be (with a stretch) comparable to the professional US armed forces. He would have at best been a boy scout

In the NFL, all the teams pay the players.

Also, Tommy, the military is in fact an equal opportunity employer and your football teams sure as should have been, if they were following the stated policies of the Universities they were teams of.

I stand by that view. I’m wishing you all a nice day even the intransigent Tommy Tuberville.

?? He couldn't have just flagged it and reported it to Twitter X as inappropriate? Oh wait...

Old people fall all the time. Here's 60 year old Tommy Tuberville falling down some stairs in 2014 before losing to UVA in... wait for it... the Military Bowl.

Traitor Tommy Tuberville should be brought up on charges. Rand Paul too, also, for blocking the Ambassador to Israel and Iron Dome missile defense funding. Assholes.

Tuberville's fall remix, make sure you turn up the sound.

Ha! Good choice of tunes. Keep Tommy away from chewing gum. Next up Coach successfully drinks from a water bottle with ONE hand somehow.

Am I evil in thinking that an appropriate solution to the Tommy Turd-devil problem might be to send a small team to kidnap him, lock him up somewhere, get all the stuff he is blocking through, then set him free at the side of a road somewhere, preferably near a military camp so he beg a ride home?

But, seriously, what f***ed up system allows one turd to block a pipe? Is this an extension of that fuckwittery that says a single senator can filibuster just by saying "I filibuster"? Or is that not A Thing now?

Suranis · #99

A sitting senator seems to have more power than the President.

While a single person gets the attention, his colleagues could end it any time they wanted.
