Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This motherfucker should be dragged from the Senate and sent back fucking Alabama. He isn't doing his job so he should be removed.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I vote we air drop him into Russia with a note saying "I want to fight for Russia. Please sign me up."

since... you know... he's helping putin out so much.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I like it lets do it.

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, he and his constituents probably feel like he's doing his job. The US of A in 2023.

[–] zigmus64@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah… not all of his constituents…

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Politicians don't even pay lip service to the idea that they represent everyone in their district anymore. If you aren't on their team then they openly tout the fact that you can't do a fucking thing about it.

[–] hansl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Enough to get him elected. Beating Doug Jones by 20 points was no small feat.

[–] zigmus64@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The only reason Doug Jones was elected in the first place is because he was running against Roy Moore. Literally any other Republican candidate would have handily beaten Jones. Tubby just rode his name into congress.

I liked him better when he was just a coach.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He needs to be investigated. Dude’s messing with the MIC, that is the deep state.

[–] ashok36@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

His primary residence is in Florida. He's as Alabaman as I am.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Why would anyone say they loved in Alabama if they didn't? Ew lol

We don’t want him either

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 75 points 1 year ago

Fuck republicans. All of them.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 56 points 1 year ago

No you fucking didnt

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 52 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Such a massive forehead with nothing between it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Stupidest man in the senate. Which is saying something.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago

He's already taken Ron Johnson's crown? Somebody hold his beer.

Your life should suck because of my opinion. -Tuberville.

I still find it hilarious that Tuberville has effectively become one of the best anti-military politicians, even if his reasons for doing so are completely unexpected.

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And it has hurt his constituents. I'm sure it played a role in deciding to put the USSF HQ in Colorado vs Alabama where it was tentatively announced it would be.

[–] thisisawayoflife@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder if Tuberville was involved in an sports related sex abuse scandals like his colleague Jim Jordan was.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Now, now, Tuberville is in the Senate, not the House... totally different group of assholes:

“I basically encouraged sexual abuse of the students in my care, for 20 hours a day!!!”

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait. Gymnasium Jim Jordan did that.

Did coach tubs do it too? I thought he got fired for basically forcing kids to participate in his prayer sessions.

[–] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah. Sorry. That was Gym. They all blur into one another.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Man I get that. Wouldn't have been surprised if Tubs did it too.

[–] awake01@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

What a fucking idiot and traitor.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do not care for Mr. Tuberville.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I do not care for him on the hill,

I do not care for his written bill.

I do not care for Tom Tuberville.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would you care could you care with a fox? Would you care could you care in a box?

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No, I would not care with a fox. I would not care in a box. I do not care for him at all.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Say on a train, could you care for him would you care for him on a train? In the dark or in the rain?

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

Uphill both ways!
