Senator Tuberville Blames U.S. For Russian Invasion: 'Got Ukraine Into This Mess'

[Botany]

(BTW it was a Russian asset, Mike Flynn, who looked the other way so NATO and President Obama had no
warning of Russia's attack on Crimea and Ukraine in 2014 after which Flynn moved to Russia before coming
to work for Trump)

***********

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said the U.S. “got Ukraine into this mess” and expressed frustration with aid to Ukraine as it tries to fend off the ongoing Russian invasion that began in February 2022.

“They’re gonna ask for more money,” he continued. “We’re propping up their government as we speak. We’re paying all their pension funds. We’re paying all their government employees. American people need to understand, this is not just going to the war. It’s going to the 51st state, which is Ukraine.”

“This was not going to end up well for Ukraine,” Tuberville added. “We pretty much kicked this can down the road and got Ukraine into this mess. We can’t get ’em out. Somebody needs to go to Russia, like Joe Biden, and talk them out of what’s going on and get this thing settled before we get into a world war. ”

“Well, we heard it a year-and-a-half ago from President Biden or Pinocchio Joe, whatever you want to call him, that it was gonna be a small incursion,” Tuberville replied. “And we all know now there has been hundreds of thousands of people killed over in Ukraine – both Russian and Ukrainians, but the Ukrainians are getting slaughtered.”

Is Tuberville on Putin's payroll or does Putin have some Kompromat on Tommy? How can anybody vote for
that P.O.S.?

[dalton99a]

1. POS has been parroting Russian propaganda since before the invasion

[mitch96]

55. He sure acts like a ruzzian troll. I wonder how much he got paid??? follow the money..nt

[bullimiami]

2. There is no end to what a dick this guy is.

[tanyev]

3. What a rancid treason weasel.

[Charging Triceratops]

4. Hitler would've loved this moron

Tubertwat is an absolute lying idiot.

[gab13by13]

5. Is he really holding up promotions because of abortion?

I doubt it. He is weakening our military.

[raging moderate]

13. Yes. You are right.

This is the most likely explanation of Tuberville's actions.

ONE SENATOR SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CRIPPLE OUR MILITARY DEFENSE SYSTEM.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

36. +1

He's doing this for Putin.

WTF, anyway? How long will his obstruction last?

[Marthe48]

54. The rwnj in the Senate are abetting him

By letting this drag out. Not a single rwnj senator is on America's side, supports the military or law enforcement.

[Maru Kitteh]

6. Not everything is Komromat. Tuberbrain is an asshole. A dumb jock

in WAY over his head. There's nothing about his train-wreck of a term that wasn't completely predictable given his imminent qualifications.

Sometimes things are exactly what they seem.

[Freethinker65]

7. Alabama gave us the Tuberville mess.

Yikes.

[musclecar6]

8. Yeah

Where do they find these fucking ignorant jerk offs ? Sheesh

[Attilatheblond]

38. Pretty sure think tanks (funded by the VERY rich) have profiles they go after

And like sports, they probably have 'talent scouts' out in the field sniffing these fools out. I have long figured that 'must have daddy issues' is high on GOP think tank wish lists. Must have ego that overrides talent and common sense would likely be another qualifier. Easy to corrupt/must be greedy is probably the starting point for the talent scouts.

[JohnSJ]

9. Sounds like the DSA, (Democratic Socialists of America), position of blaming the U.S. for Russians

invasion of Ukraine

Absolutely insane

[Irish_Dem]

10. How many sitting US Members of Congress are Russian/Chinese assets?

They spout Russian talking points every week on schedule.

[Botany]

12. Well there is this one person from Wisconsin

I might be wrong but I think Vlad has some kompromat on some of them and
Trump used that info to control some GOP members in Congress. Lindsey Graham
changed from a McCain ally to become a Trump sucker after one Columbus Day
golf outing with Trump.

[raging moderate]

14. Yes. You are also right.

This is all very strange. If a Democrat tried to do what Tuberville is doing, does anybody here believe that person would get away with it?

[TheRealNorth]

18. Nope

A microphone would be thrust in every Democrats face asking if we condoned the statement.

[Jilly_in_VA]

21. Not to mention

probably Marsha, Marjorie Three Names, Gooser, Boobert....need I go on?

[Botany]

23. Don't forget "The Moscow 8"

[Irish_Dem]

39. Yep. And what about Cruz and Hawley.

[bluesbassman]

15. My grandfather and father were both Vets, and so am I. My son is active duty Navy right now.

This fucking piece of shit is making my son's life more unsafe every day. Can't call him a disgrace to the uniform because he never saw fit to put his life on the line in service to this country, so I'll just call him what he is; a disgrace to America.

[NowsTheTime]

16. Repubs take what has traditionally been a formality & turn it against our country.

...like the formal counting of electoral votes..

[Irish_Dem]

40. The counting of votes is the bedrock of a democracy.

It is We The People selecting their leadership.

For Trump to destroy it is treason in my book.

[Demovictory9]

50. Exactly

[Wingus Dingus]

17. I knew it. He's another on Putin's payroll. That's why he's damaging military readiness.

How are these asshole GOP traitors not being wiretapped?

[Irish_Dem]

41. Sitting members of congress seem to be sacred.

And must terrify the criminal justice system.

[TSExile]

19. Don't the Dems...

...hold the Senate majority? Can't they discipline him? Where's Schumer?

[Johonny]

20. Congress feels more crappy than ever

Just so many hopelessly unqualified people in it. This guys credentials might land him a PE teachers job at a high school. But somehow this former so-so college coach is in congress. LOL people.

[Jilly_in_VA]

22. Tubs is dumber than dirt

and should have stuck to football. Although South Alabama is a shit school and their team is a shit team (my local university is in the same conference--SunBelt--and I KNOW) . But then, what would you expect?

[Irish_Dem]

42. Yes and he is not smart enough to come up with these talking points.

Someone is handing him a script to read from.

[SouthernDem4ever]

24. Tubby is a traitorous asshole

Alabama, you need to get his sorry, good-for-nothing, ass out of our government. On second thought, why doesn't Biden start moving Maxwell-Gunter AFB out of Alabama?

[edhopper]

25. I think the fact that he is a Putin puppet

can no longer be disputed.

Why does the GOP hate America?

[maxsolomon]

26. Biden said "it was going to be a small incursion"?

That sounds like horseshit.

[Marthe48]

27. I think his ass is where his face should be

N/t

[mahina]

53. Florida

[usonian]

28. He's a Russian asset in his actions and actions count.

[sakabatou]

29. Putin puppet

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

30. Pop up ad on this story - "4 early signs of dementia"

[Recycle_Guru]

31. fuck that commie piece of trash sucking Putin's ass

no wonder everything he spews is Russian shit

[MorbidButterflyTat]

37. +1

[leftstreet]

47. How is he a "commie?"

Did he say he wants to take the entire military budget and distribute it to Americans?

lol

[Recycle_Guru]

48. its my pejorative prerogative to call him that

regardless of any alignment to given economic theory

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

32. Another Putin patsy

Let's give him a one-way ticket to Russia.

[world wide wally]

33. I thought people from Alabama were supposed to be so patriotic

[Torchlight]

34. A t-shirt with "better red than dead' would suit him well.

As Kennedy said, 'Pretending to fear government they have asked government to outlaw private protest. They glorify "togetherness" when it is theirs, and call it conspiracy when it is that of others.'

I hope Tuberville eventually realizes that tragedy is the death of the nation's soul rather than the nation's body.

[edisdead]

35. Did this fuckface miss the Iraq war??

Fuck this anti-American piece of shit.

[marmar]

43. He's an extra special kind of stupid

[SouthBayDem]

44. Alabama could have had a full year of Doug Jones

But a Putin stooge was an acceptable alternative?

[LiberalFighter]

45. I do hope the military has a campaign against him.

[Quanto Magnus]

46. Proving he's a Russian asset

with every word he speaks.

[Demovictory9]

49. One of those nutty rightwing groups is using Tuberville like a puppet

[kairos12]

51. Treasonous rat bastard. He would have surrendered on 8 December 41. n/t

[pwb]

52. Putin's man for sure.

No real American would weaken our military.

[Takket]

56. He's just mad that Russia is losing

and on top of that Biden's support has basically crippled Russia's ability to do anything other than a nuclear war, without spilling a single drop of American soldiers' blood.

If the media was anything other than a right wing echo chamber, every single paper and TV network in Alabama would be CRUSHING him for this tomorrow morning.

[Sessuch]

57. It is time for the military to same money on bases in Alabama and use it for Ukraine

The Pentagon should close the bases in Alabama and move the personnel to states that support the US Military.

[Blue Owl]

58. Tommy Traitorville has a Sugar Vladdy just like Diarrhea Donny

[moondust]

59. Jealous attention hound?

As a football coach he was the center of much attention and deference. In the Senate he's a nobody who clearly doesn't belong there.
