Like I said before let military leaders handle the military. If you did have the backbone to serve you shouldn’t have the right to say anything concerning the military. Everybody wants to be patriotic until it’s time to be patriotic.

This guy isnt even qualified to greet folks in Walmart. Embarrassing

Because it's far more important to satisfy your Evangelical base than provide a strong military defense for this country.

Don't like something?
Just say it didn't happen!
Don't want things to be what they are?
Just kick and scream and throw a tantrum.
The Republican party is the place for you!

These people have done more for this country than Tuberville ever will. I would think he would show more respect.

[sunshinesmilesart]

Seems to me he should be charged with some treasonous crime for this risky and unnecessary act.

Demanding attention - like a little kid throwing a temper tantrum.

As a vet I don’t want individuals with mental health issues around in a battle field I want individuals that can make the right calls at a moments notice. How can I expect that from an individual that doesn’t know what he/she is plus the mental strain that war brings to a person is crazy. how can you expect a person with mental issues to keep it together? No thanks

This has absolutely nothing to do with the constitution.

Does anyone here still believe in the better angels of southern white Christian conservative men? This is a sincere question. Given the history of men like this.... I just want to know what, redeeming quality have these men ever shown throughout history? How is their character similar to the Christ they profess their allegiance to?

[royblack]

Tuberville needs to be censured and impeached.

[CamiloEscobar-ql]

I’m not even surprised at this point with the republitards sorry I mean the republikkkans,

[UncleSam-bugz]

It's more like UNreproductive health care.

How can one man holdup such. Our government is truely broken by the reputican party.

[ianmccown]

Oh man this Tubberville guy… Tbh I am sure Mitch McConnell will shut him down when it comes down to it. Mitch has done a lot to go against this crap. Surprising because Mitch was often an annoying problem back then, but nowadays he is more bi-partisan, and also hates Trump!

Indicative of the real terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country, they're right in your backyard and holding office.
Your oppression is their profession
