"Republicans are not the party who supports the military, as they falsely claim. They act like it, but time and time again they prove themselves wrong."

#Tuberville is imposing his personal anti abortion beliefs onto the US military and thinks he’s doing the right thing. That’s wild he can get away with this. Doesn’t look good on the #Republicans. We should be expecting some good Democrats ads.

#BBCNews - Senator #Tuberville : No truce over military blockade on #abortion

#America's least favorite #goober, Sen. Tommy #Tuberville, is completely #ignorant of what the #military is, what it does, how it operates, and what its #culture is all about. If you go outside right now and find a pile of #dogshit, that pile of dog shit knows more about our military than Sen. Tuberville. That's how ignorant he is. And when that ignorance combines with his epicly poor judgement, an unnecessary blockade on high-level #promotions is what results.

Hundreds of military promotions are on hold as a Republican senator demands end to abortion policy.

Should the U.S. Senate change its rules that allow one senator to hold up nominations?

“As someone who was born in a Communist country, I would have never imagined that actually 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.”

~ Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro about Alabama Senator Tommy "Coach" Tuberville

@OlDude82
Unless we change the Constitution to disqualify #fascist candidates and parties, the #Republican Party is going to continue nominating anti-intellectual #fascists like #Tuberville.

I don't dispute that he's incompetent, I'm just saying that he is what #Republicans want. We can't expect them to nominate better.

#Fascism

“Communist regimes.”
What is this, 1955?

#Alabama’s Stupidest Export Tommy #Tuberville has no problem spouting off #Russian #propaganda, whether or not he’s aware he’s doing it. He’s an incredibly dumb fucking idiot, and we imagine any Russian spy within 100 miles of Tuberville’s morning cheese grits would be more than eager to drop Father #Putin’s message in his bowl to see how eagerly he’d lap it up.

Pressure ramps up on Tuberville over 300 military holds

Imagining that the Sec.’s of our #navy #airforce & #army
Would agree to an interview in the WP…discussing #nationalsecurity
$h*t No!

#tuberville you have no #honor …not to your family name…
To FB teams you’ve coached, your state(a political swamp) &…
The country your behavior endangers.

“As someone who was born in a #communist country, I never would have imagined that actually 1 of our own sen.’s would actually be aiding & abetting communist & other autocratic regimes…” -Del Toro
1/2 Link ⬇️

We believe that the vast majority of #senators & of Americans across the #political spectrum recognize the stakes of this moment & the dangers of politicizing our #military leaders. It is time to lift this dangerous hold & confirm our senior military leaders.

(apologies for the thread length, #Tuberville’s #threat to #NationalSecurity is too important to limit access via a paywall, so transcribed the whole thing)

Rather than continue making #sacrifices to serve our #nation, some might leave uniformed #service for other opportunities, robbing the #DOD of talent cultivated over decades….

Throughout our careers in #NationalSecurity, we have deeply valued the #bipartisan support shown for our #ServiceMembers & their #families. But rather than seeking a resolution…, #Tuberville has suggested he is going to further escalate this confrontation by launching baseless #political attacks against these men & women.

The leaders whose lives & careers are on hold include scores of combat #veterans who have led our #troops into deadly combat w/valor & distinction in the decades since 9/11. These (people) …each have decades of experience & are exactly who we want — & need — to be leading our #military at such a critical period of time.

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

#Tuberville #NationalSecurity

These military leaders are being forced to endure costly separations from their families — a painful experience they have come to know from nearly 20 years of deployments to places such as Iraq & Afghanistan.

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 & simple.
