1. Tuberhead, that is LITERALLY YOUR JOB

[Sneederbunk]

2. A veritable Louie Gohmert.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

13. Very apropos- the "Louie Gohmert of the Senate".

[enid602]

28. Gohmert

I heard Louie added a ‘t’ to the end of his last name because ‘Gohmer’ just didn’t sound stupid enough,

4. Tommy Tubie-dubie,...

Whatever the Monarch says goes.
Who are we to second guess the Monarch ?

Hail be the King.

[surfered]

5. I saw your headline and thought it was about Martha Blackburn

[Whiskeytide]

11. Nope. Blackburn is an idiot, but she ...

… couldn’t hold Tubby’s empty jock-strap in this contest.

[LiberalFighter]

51. When was the last time Tuber changed his jockstrap?

[FakeNoose]

14. Ha! I called it ... "Dumbest person in the Senate" ... it HAD to be Tuberville!

[Celerity]

46. Ol' Tubs makes next 4 stupidest, Blackburn, Ron Johnson, Hyde-Smith, and Daines, look Einsteinian

[House of Roberts]

6. Box. Rocks. Stupid as a.

Makes Katie Britt look genius level by direct comparison, and she warn't bit by Solomon's dog either.
(Full disclosure: I am an Alabama resident. I'm stuck with both of them, thanks to the MAGAts here.)

[Wiz Imp]

7. Says the guy who voted against at least 15 of Biden's nominees.

So why wasn't Biden's vetting of his nominees along with extensive FBI background checks on every single one of them, not sufficient for dumbass Tuberville? Obviously a rhetorical question given the asshole doesn't appear to know that vetting cabinet nominees is explicitly part of a Senator's job as laid out in the Constitution (advise and consent).

https://ballotpedia.org/How_senators_voted_on_Biden_Cabinet_nominees,_2021

[ShazzieB]

35. Oh, he knows.

He knows perfectly well what "advise and consent" means, and he knows he's applying a double standard to Trump and Biden. He just doesn't care.

There are people in this world who are perfectly comfortable telling great big whoppers with a perfectly straight face, and a frightening number of them are (Republican) politicians. Tuberville is obviously one of them.

BTW, my autocorrect seems to have a quirky sense of humor. It just tried to change Tuberville to Tuberculosis, and I had to stop typing for a moment, until I stopped laughing!

[Wiz Imp]

38. Oh, I agree, he knows

But I also believe he truly is one of the dumbest, if not THE dumbest, people in Congress. There are things he should know in his position that I don't think he does know because he just doesn't care to learn his job.

I like your autocorrect's sense of humor! It made me laugh too. I think I may start calling him Senator Tuberculosis!

[ShazzieB]

39. I'm happy to take your word fot his stupidity!

I haven't followed him closely, but every time I read a report on something he's said, it sure sounds stupid.

I like the idea of calling him Senator Tuberculosis! It's very fitting for him.

[Wiz Imp]

40. Just a little bit of evidence of Senator Tuberculosis stupidity:

“I do not believe that Tommy Tuberville is a racist at all,” says one plugged-in Alabama Republican. “I really believe that maybe he doesn’t have an understanding of the English language.”

Shortly after taking his Senate seat, Tuberville said the three branches of government were “the House, the Senate, and the executive” (per the U.S. Constitution, they’re the executive, legislative, and judicial branches). In that same interview, Tuberville claimed that World War II had been fought “to free Europe of socialism” (it was fascism; the communists were U.S. allies back then).

Tuberville said Al Gore was president-elect for 30 days before the Supreme Court ruled George W. Bush won the election (that’s not how it happened).

In early 2022, as Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, Tuberville claimed that Vladimir Putin had done so because Russia is “a communist country, so he can’t feed his people, so they need more farmland.” Russia hasn’t been communist since the collapse of the USSR in 1991, back before Tuberville ever became a head football coach.

Another time, Tuberville said Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a “dictator” while Vladimir Putin only “wants to make sure he doesn’t have United States weapons in Ukraine pointing at Moscow.” “He doesn’t want Ukraine. He doesn’t want Europe. Hell, he’s got enough land of his own.” said Tuberville. “He just wants to make sure he doesn’t have United States weapons in Ukraine pointing at Moscow.”

Some of these could theoretically be chalked up as him lying for political expediency, but there is every evidence that he truly doesn't understand history or how US Government works.

[ShazzieB]

41. OMG, I see what you mean!

Some of those sound familiar (like the one about the 3 branches of government ), but others are not. That's definitely some crashing stupidity there!

[Emile]

8. Aladamnbama must be proud to send their brightest

Republican politicians to Washington.

[Attilatheblond]

19. Sent this particular one from FLORDIA where he actually lives

Is he so dumb he doesn't know what state his home is in or are AL voters that slow?

[Klondike Kat]

20. The conditions are not

Mutually exclusive.

[Emile]

25. LOL 😅

[El-Capitan]

9. I knew from the headline before I clicked that you meant Tuberville.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

10. Not a good person

Not a good coach
come on Bammers
Vote him out...next time

[RussBLib]

24. Bammers know stupid when they see it.

.. and they like it.

[Jeebo]

53. Actually, Tuberville was a really good football coach.

He beat Alabama six straight years. His 2004 Auburn team went 13-0 and finished No. 2 in the national polls, with a strong claim to the national championship, although Southern Cal officially won that honor.

I wish Tuberville had stayed in coaching and never entered politics. Even though I am a Crimson Tide fan, football is just a game and politics is important. And I think Nick Saban would have been able to handle Tuberville pretty well, anyway. At least as well as he handled the Auburn coaches who came after Tuberville.

But I suppose if it hadn't been Tuberville in the Senate, it would've been somebody else just as ridiculous. We're talking about Alabama.

[byronius]

12. "It's our job to cover for our criminal leader!"

Same as it ever was.

There’s a Republican gene for large scale criminal behavior — it’s just their way. Criminal leaders, criminal behavior, criminal outrage at being caught. All while pretending to be the most patriotic Americans.

Ugly, stupid and dangerous.

[Ray Bruns]

15. I have noticed Ron Johnson has been particularly quiet lately

[Evolve Dammit]

16. Solid bone from ear to ear.

[Harker]

17. There's no dispute.

I knew who it was from the headline.

[milestogo]

18. Oh I thought this was going to be about Ron Johnson...

He's a Russia lover and very stupid.

[republianmushroom]

21. Sen. Tuberville, dumb and dumber, to dumbest. Jeez

Tuberville says a lot about the republican party.

[Ping Tung]

22. Tuberville + Dumb Redundancy

[Ohioboy]

23. This is how fascism takes hold

History is full of Dumbass Tubervilles.

[sakabatou]

26. He's either lying or he really, REALLY does not know how to do his job

[allegorical oracle]

48. But he was a great football coach, right? That's why he's in the Senate instead

of going to the pros.

[patphil]

27. If Advise and Consent is the Democrats job, then the Republicans in the Senate shouldn't get a vote.

He's such a boot-licking coward. He's afraid of what Trump will say about him if he says anything bad about the people Trump nominated for positions in his government.
So, he is willing to vote for all these horrible people out of fear of Trump's retribution.
Besides, Cash Patel might add Senator Tuberville to his enemies list if he dares object to a nominee.

[Initech]

29. We need a crowbar to pry his lips from Trump's ass!

Wow, that is some next level ass kissing there! And I'm sure that Fuckface has a lot of space ready for it.

[GreenWave]

30. Until he gets thing correct, Tubby Tommerville.

[turbinetree]

32. I thought Marsha Blackburn was the dumbest.....along with 220 in the House and 53 in the senate.............

and 6 in the supreme court .....and the 49.9% that voted for this future shit show continuation....and then to think they get taxpayer funded pay checks to attack the "we the people" in this country ..................but I guessed wrong............

[WmChris]

33. He MAY be the dumdest

While he might be the dumbest he's got a lot of competition in the GQP.

[MrWowWow]

37. The Stupid! It Burns!

[Sailingdiver]

34. why did the idiot

Stand in the way if Biden's nominations?

[brush]

36. A few more like Tuberville and the rethug Senate caucus will...

a full-on kakistocracy, =government by stupid, incompetent and least qualified.

[Wiz Imp]

44. Right. When I read the headline, I figured it was about Tuberville. But, isn't it sad and terrifying

that other people read the headline and thought it was about other Republican Senators (like Blackburn & Johnson) who could credibly be considered for that title as well?

[Meowmee]

42. omg

😹

[spanone]

43. He's brain damaged.

[bdamomma]

45. Geez

Tuberville yes, he is dumb, there are many others.

[allegorical oracle]

47. I guessed right! Do I get a prize for knowing it's Tommy?? nt

[LetMyPeopleVote]

49. GOP's Tuberville flunks yet another simple constitutional test

When I say that Alabama’s senior senator is confused about the basics of his own constitutional responsibilities, I’m being quite literal.

Tommy Tuberville keeps facing Civics 101 constitutional tests. He also keeps flunking them.

The senator who once flubbed the three branches of the government now doesn't understand the Senate's advice-and-consent authority at the most basic level. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Now that the football coach–turned–politician has several years of experience on Capitol Hill under his belt, is there any chance he’s better familiarized himself with the basics of constitutional law? Evidently not. The New Republic noted:

Tuberville told reporters from CNN Wednesday that the Senate didn’t need to complete the vetting processes for Cabinet confirmations because Trump already did such a great job of that ... Tuberville went so far as to suggest that Democrats who were merely doing their research were actually attacking nominees.

There’s been plenty of bizarre rhetoric from GOP lawmakers over the last month about Donald Trump, his personnel announcements and Congress’ responsibilities. Indeed, Tuberville himself has made head-spinning comments in recent weeks, suggesting that the president-elect and Vice President-elect JD Vance will soon be “running the Senate” — that’s not how separation of powers works in the United States — and claiming that it’s not up to senators to “determine” whether Trump’s Cabinet nominees have merit.

But he keeps making matters worse.

In this latest instance, the Alabaman began by telling CNN’s Manu Raju he disapproved of Republican senators who presume to be “a better vetter and picker of people than Donald Trump.” This was an odd thing to say, given that Trump has already effectively admitted that he and his team are not, at least in some instances, bothering to vet personnel for key positions at all......

[LiberalFighter]

50. Then why is it necessary for the Senate to approve any nominations?

[Dem4life1970]

52. I saw your post and I started debating in my mind: Cruz? Hawley? Scott?

Oh! Tuberville! You are right! But it was very close (in my mind ).

[Stinky The Clown]

54. He makes Marsha Blackburn look like a Rhodes Scholar

He also puts me in mind of Tank McNamara
