Tuberville failed to mention that he’s personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.

    This football coach from the ivy leagues has the audacity to pretend to know what military service is like without having educated himself at the bare minimum nor actually serving to provide a serious opinion on the matter.

    The fact this incompetent malcontent continues to receive the support of his constituents is truly representative of how unbelievably fucked humanity is.

      I remember when McCain was the last living member of the legislative branch to have served or had family (his son) actively serving in the military. I fully agree with you, when this shitstain decided to make a remark like that, it needs brought up that he is wholly ignorant about the US military and is just parroting the party line in some kind of weak ass political jab. He’s a fuckstick, and so are his voters.

      AL resident here - he doesn’t get as much direct support as you might think. Most of the state votes straight red without even reading the names, so he only needs enough support/bullying competition to get through the primaries.

      Ivy league? Ivy League doesn’t mean prestigious, and even if it did, it would not describe any of Tuberville’s institutions.

        More a reference to his inherited wealth and social stature as opposed to just his education and work background.

        I am heavily implying that the man himself is worth less than trash and he only has the job because of nepotism

          Dude, fuck you. That’s two things that I learn about Tuberville because you don’t know what words mean.

          Tuberville did not benefit from neopotism nor is he Ivy League.

          He’s a piece of shit apart from these buzzwords you’re misusing.

              I don’t know the word for phenomenon that anyone who achieves fame somehow has a shot in republican politics (Tuberville, Kari Lake, Mehmet Oz, the Obvious, etc.), but nepotism isn’t it.

              Maybe you’re not pissed that Kushner was on the federal payroll, but if you are, calling everything “nepotism” is playing into the hands of people who are trying to keep your mind spongy.
