Why is Senator Tuberville (R-AL) blocking about 350 military promotions? He's following orders. [View all]

Tuberville is owned by Trump. He's blocking those promotions so that "Dear Leader" can make his own appointments when he wins the 2024 presidential election. At least, that's the scenario that Trump and Tuberville have in mind.

The Senate is on the verge of stopping Tuberville's obvious sabotage of our military. But even if he's stopped, the American fascists will just pull off some other piece of fascist shit tomorrow.

And in case you're wondering who these American fascists are, they are everyone in the Republican Party who is not speaking out about the "White Nationalist Nation" that Trump is trying to establish. (On Monday, Rachel Maddow stated that the Republican Party is enabling Trump in his plot to own the presidency and America.)

But if you want to know more about Tuberville, here's a link to an article on him from The Guardian:
