Jezebel: Sex. Celebrity. Politics. With Teeth: Nikki Haley Insists Tommy Tuberville & U.S. Military Are Both Wrong in Standoff Over Abortion Policy https://jezebel.com/nikki-haley-insists-tommy-tuberville-u-s-military-ar-1850826216 #Jezebel #tommytuberville #nikkihaley #jaketapper #abortion #politics

#TommyTuberville needs what we used to call in the Navy 40 years ago, "a fan room adjustment"

3 Chiefs take a person unwilling to conform to navy traditions, like working or showering regularly, into a small, quiet room sealed by a hatch. An E-4, E-5, & E-6 stand watch for officers as the chiefs pummel him into becoming a stand-up sailor, after he is mopped up from the deck.

It changes people, for the good 99% of the time.

Sailors have always written poetry. Not much to do at sea. Stand your watches, do your work, eat, sleep, poker, masturbate, and write poetry.

There once was a man named Tom.
With the military, he has a big qualm.
On him, the uniforms have soured,
Because he's a coward.
He needs more breast milk from his mom.

#TommyTuberville is leaving the country open to attack by despots and terrorists. Is he under foreign influence to thin our Officer's Corps? Is he under orders?

OMG. People are doing poems.

And on aircraft carriers, of all places!

The mind shudders to think of all the deplorable implications.

Or, excuse me for my poor spelling: "The mind shutters to think." People doing poems! my godamighty!

"Three of our five military branches — the #Army, #Navy and #MarineCorps — have no Senate-confirmed service chief in place.

Instead, these jobs — and dozens of others across the force — are being performed by acting officials without the full range of #legal authorities necessary to make the decisions that will sustain the United States’ #military edge."

I could probably phrase it more

Tuberville responds to the Navy Secretary by saying the Secretary has to get wokeness out of the Navy because “we’ve got people doing poems on aircraft carriers”

"Tonight, Secretary of the #Navy Del Toro, who was born in Cuba, said on CNN: “I would have never imagined that…one of our own senators would actually be aiding and abetting #communist and other #autocratic regimes around the world.

This is having a real negative impact and will continue to have a real negative impact on our combat readiness. That’s what the #American people truly need to understand.”"

"Tuberville has suggested he is going to further escalate this confrontation by launching baseless political attacks against these men and women.

We believe that the vast majority of senators and of Americans across the political spectrum recognize the stakes of this moment and the dangers of politicizing our #military leaders.

It is time to lift this dangerous hold and confirm our senior military leaders."

"The impact of this hold does not stop at these officers or their family members.

With the promotions of our most senior leaders on hold, there is a domino effect upending the lives of our more junior officers, too.

Looking over the horizon, the prolonged uncertainty and political battles over these military nominations will have a corrosive effect on the force."

"We know officers who have incurred significant unforeseen expenses and are facing genuine financial stress because they have had to relocate their families or unexpectedly maintain two residences....

All because of the actions of a single senator.

Any claim that holding up the promotions of top officers does not directly damage the military is wrong — plain and simple."
