Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday evening sought and received unanimous consent to confirm the promotions of 11 four-star generals that had been held up for months by Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville ® to protest the Pentagon’s abortion policies.
Schumer broke Tuberville’s blockade of more than 300 lower-ranking military promotions earlier this month, but the Alabama senator insisted at the time on holding up 11 of the highest-ranking officers so as not to capitulate completely to Democrats.
Tuberville demanded at the time that the promotions of the 11 four-star generals go through regular order on the Senate floor. He wanted senators to vote on procedural motions to end debate and then vote again to confirm the military promotions individually.
tuberville doesn’t achieve shit. He’s a potato.
The handlers around him get the credit for any of their perceived “victory” that are simultaneously loses for humanity in general. He’s 1000% propped up and barely knows where he is. tommy tuberville probably uses a gun to try to tie his Velcro shoes in the morning.
Yeah, I’m sorry, but I’m not willing to give Tuberville the credit for being either smart or crafty and that includes being smart or crafty enough to be able to do someone else’s bidding. He’s just a fucking idiot. I don’t know about football, but I’m told he was a mediocre coach basically his whole adult life before becoming a senator. All he’s ever known is football and whatever he’s soaked up from watching Fox News when football is over. I don’t believe this was part of some master plan. This was an idiot thinking if he did something stupid, he would achieve his goal of being dumb.
Did you miss the word, handlers?
