I’ll believe it when he does it. And I’m interested in what “some nominations” means; just the ones for straight, white Christian men?
He said approvals on a case by case basis so I could totally see him trying to make it work that way.
I believe they also have to be severely repressed individuals who appear to be constipated.
40 yard dash time.
“Flips” read as “stops acting like a blubbering child and does the job he’s being paid for”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) moved to set up votes on three top military promotions that Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has been blocking, CNN reports.
The move heads off Tuberville’s effort to go around Senate leaders on at least one of these promotions.
Schumer said that if Tuberville objects to voting on all three today, he will keep the Senate in session through the weekend.
Tommy is just about to get his ass handed to him.
So this does need some context… this has been an option from the start, but this sets a precedent of one shitbag senator being able to hold up standard procedure on nonsense grounds, forcing individual votes that just waste taxpayer money and time. In any sane Congress, Traitorville should have been ejected from the Senate via trebuchet already.
Plainly it was the Republican caucus’s mess to clean up. Maybe they tried and failed, IDK. As you say, this was always an option, but now they have a backup of 600+ promotions. With a 1 hour minimum debate time, you can do the math.
Absolutely, I just take some exception to framing this move being an asskicking for Traitorville himself. He’s still getting his way, which apparently means getting most people to hate his guts even more.
I still need to go put some signs up near his house. Of course it’s in a gated subdivision, beachfront, in Florida.
If you are a Senator who has to go through multiple consecutive sessions for that fool, you are not going to be nice to him in the cloak room. It begins there, and finishes with your office moved and no money from Republican PACS.
Fair point!
Also he gets wackos putting signs with “Traitorville” up near his house.
No idea who would live near enough to do that though. *cough
Football asshole bad thanks Alabama

“When Alabama sends its football coaches they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending Nick Saban. They’re not sending Mike Shula. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. They’re bringing white supremacy. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Republicans only elect the worst candidates.
If anyone tells you “all politicians are equally bad” that means they personally vote for the worst of them.
Only politically convenient ones that could “help him” because they have some sort of power.
It’s a show to make it seem like he’s not the problem.

Yeah as leverage to protect a witness in the impeachment of trump.
Top of the list of people I’m reticent to piss off: Navy Seals.
How is one person asks to do this?
Wow, one dipshit football coach is willing to let the military proceed to operate. What a kind individual.
What an incredible douchebag.
