Tuberville blocks Marine confirmation, leaving Corps with an acting commandant

Gen. David Berger relinquished his position hours before the motion, handing authorities over to Assistant Commandant Gen. Eric Smith.

As is obvious, the GOP's disdain for American women is far greater than its respect for the US military.

The GOP is morphing into the anti-military party. And Tuberville from Talabama can't admit what the term "white nationalist" means....

www.newsweek.com

Tommy Tuberville says the definition of white nationalism...

The senator from Alabama stated that he was "totally against" racism but that the term white nationalist was a "cover word" used by Democrats to create anger.

This is what happens when mouth breathers vote for a football coach instead of someone who actually knows what he’s doing.

Tuberville is doing this country a service by blocking the horrendous standard operating procedure in the Senate. Usually these things are rubber stamped as a package deal in a back room and the Senate has no idea what it agreed to, for whom, or why. And it doesn’t want to know because the ignorance makes for plausible deniability.

Alas, another cliched argument.

It's a job of armed services committee staffs to look at the nominated officers by the Potus for promotion and advancement to major commands across the armed forces.

The MAGA Tubervill has holds on every officer nominated to become or advance as a general or admiral. It's also the job of the military affairs personal office staffer of each member of the armed services committee to examine 'em for the senator.

Each senator checks with the personal office staffer and the committee office staffers before he or she votes. When they get the all clear from staff, they vote. Tuberville fired his own office staff military specialist expert because the guy broke the cardinal rule of being a staffer, ie, he went public to MAGAs to say the whole hold thingy was his genius idea. Bye Bye staffer.

Now however the MAGA Tuberville is holding up the appointments and advancements of 4-star officers and admirals. Each Gen. Smith incoming and Gen. Berger outgoing are 4-stars. The Marines being relatively small in number have very few 4-stars btw. I think the Corps is authorized three 4-stars under current laws. The Army has 17 of 'em. Navy has 8 and AF has 11. CG has two, Space Force, 2.

I say again because we're seeing it here against the armed forces, MAGAs mean serious business against the United States. They mean to take us down.

Nominations for 3-star and 4-star get a Senate hearing because of the high organizational and strategic positions involved.

Schumer could have ended this ages ago by doing what the Senate should have been doing all along - bringing each of these candidates to the floor for consideration on the individual merits followed by a recorded vote. But he’ll never do that because if/when these people turn out to be rapists, psychos, and/or incompetent fools then there are names next to their confirmations and approvals.

Oh, well, now I know what's going on.

Thanks to you.

MAGA !
 
Tuberville wants a federal ban on abortions, starting with the military. This isn’t his idea, he has to one of the dumbest people ever to belong to the 100.

The fact that Tommy is a Senator tells one all they need to know about Alabama‘s relationship with Saturday football.

The press needs to keep sticking a microphone under his nose, imo.

Agreed. Our elected representatives should vote on the rule change, not have it handed down as an edict.

Not sure what that has to do with the Marine Corps Commandant but I agree. Tubes should put forward a bill.

If you cared about the military like you pretend to, you would demand Austin revoke his memo and have the administration go through congress to get the change. But you wont. Because you dont really care at all about the military. You care about abortion.

🤣

You have to understand that everyone can see that you've got that entirely flipped around.

Tuberville don't care about the military. You guys never really have, it's always been a lie.

You guys care about social control - and what we're witnessing now is a tantrum of sucn epic proportions that it's literally destroying the GOP.

And I'm here for it.

No, you have it exactly backwards and thats not all that surprising. You libs dont care about the military, you never have. And everyone knows that so your pretense is nothing but a typical liberal lie. You care only about the social, and in this case, abortion. So you really arent that different from Tuberville, which probably explains your anger.

Since you chose not to reply, I had to look up the alternative to AOC. Congratulations on the trifecta of stupid!

That's a whole lot of words to say nothing at all.

You're right that I don't particularly care about the military - but unlike you guys, I've never pretended to.

No, its not even remotely true and just another stupid post by you. A college football coach is a far more accomplished individual than a bartender, but it is you America hating libs who attacked him based upon his standing

And? Are you belittling them because they worked?

I’m not belittling Tuberville because he worked. I’m belittling him because he’s an idiot White supremacist with idiots who voted him in just because he had an R after his name.

Big difference, but go ahead and belittle AOC because she was a bartender, or Fetterman because he had a stroke. If they weren’t working and needed help with social safety net programs, you’d go after them for that, so make up your ****ing mind.

As far as the senile one, I thought you liked Trump.

?? It has nothing to do with them working, not sure where that came from. Tuberville isnt a white supremacist and Biden is senile and everyone, including you, knows it. So you are 0-3 in that post.

No, that called a refutation.

Look it up.

Trump
Oz

That’s a trifecta, one couldn’t beat a vegetable, another couldn’t beat a cadaver and the last couldn’t best a bartender. Run along, now…….
