    I wonder which complete GOP MAGA psychopath is going to get the turtle’s seat? I’m betting they try and force Tuberville on us.

      I’d take ol’ Tommy because he’d be completely incompetent and ineffective.

        Tommy Tuberville was extremely effective at single-handedly blocking military promotions, blocking all Senate efforts to get past him, and only stopping when they were about to go scorched earth on him and change Senate rules to get around him.

        I’m not saying Tuberville ISN’T dumb as a lump of dogshit, because he is. But he’s ALSO a traitorous fuck getting paid by Russia to support Putin’s war on Ukraine from the Senate floor, not only in votes but in speeches now, and he has handlers who are not nearly as stupid as he is.

        Be careful what you wish for. Any government post Tommy Tuberville holds is a post that Vladimir Putin controls.

          Tommy blocked those promotions because he’s an idiot and literally didn’t realize that the positions would go empty if he didn’t let them through. Someone had to explain to him that keeping the military from working is a bad thing. That’s how dumb he is. I am convinced that he would just make the GOP looks as bad as McCarthy and Johnson.
