How this clownish dumbass got to be a US senator is baffling and does not say much about the people of Alabama who elected him either?!! I want to see the Department of Defense stand firm on their position too, if you give him to this crackpot senator, you open the flood gates to other senators who want to impose their beliefs and agenda?!!
When Tommy Tuberville was a football coach, the biggest impact he had on the world was what play to call against Georgia on second and 14. Any damage he could do was limited to a football field.
That all changed when the people of Alabama elected Tuberville to the Senate. His impact was no longer relegated to football; he was given real power, real ways to dramatically influence the lives of millions. And what has he done with that power? Right now, he's using it in ways that the Pentagon says jeopardizes America's national security and military readiness.
Tuberville is one of the better examples (though not the only one) of how electing a wholly unqualified person, a nesting doll of incompetence, with no expertise in the political system, isn't just foolish, it can be dangerous. He's a case study on why football coaches should stick to sports.
When the Pentagon, that notorious left-wing Marxist super-woke institution, says Tuberville's actions are setting a "dangerous precedent" then you know something is super wrong.
What has Tuberville been doing? He's using his power to stop hundreds of flag officer and general nominations.
Tuberville has blocked these nominees in the Senate for months due to the Pentagon’s policy that provides paid time off and reimburses travel costs for military members who travel for an abortion.
These are officers who, in many ways, are front line defenders. They serve their country without fanfare. They help protect our nation and Tuberville is punishing them to make a political point.
It goes beyond that. He is endangering the country with this move.
“Without these leaders in place, these holes severely limit the department’s ability to ensure the right person is in place at the right time, and to ensure a strategic readiness and operational success,” said Sabrina Singh, the Pentagon deputy press secretary, last month.
“These holds set a dangerous precedent and puts our military readiness at risk at a time when our military is expected to defend the nation and meet the acute threat of Russia and address the pacing challenge" from China, she added.
