Military leaders claim Tommy Tuberville’s actions are a national security risk, but the senator is defiant.

    im not sure if you noticed, but my point is party agnostic with regards to our out of control military, both parties are complicit.

    . and no, i dont believe we have to spend 1t/per to be the worlds police. we as a country suck major ballls.

      Did I argue that they aren’t complicit or did I point out that what’s happening is literally part of a plan for an intended coup by the way more fascist of the two shitty parties?

      We can suck major balls and you can still live in fucking reality where if the Republicans succeed at this, they will be using the military to root out and murder people like you and me, just because they can.

      Democrats just want to be rich fuckwits above it all, but Republicans legit want to fucking hurt people, and ignoring that means you’d rather play pretend that we could just dismantle the military overnight. We can’t dismantle the military industrial complex we don’t have the political power. So in the meantime, let’s live in fucking reality and understand our own limitations shall we, hmm? Because acting like something we literally don’t have the power to do is something we should focus on while the fascists are at the gate is fucking nanners, to put it lightly.

      We can be upset about more than one thing at once. Our military spending is out of control, and one person in congress should not be able to grind government functions to a hault.

      OP is right, this is just a veiled attempt to maintain vacancies in the hopes of getting a republican president.

      They learned from their mistakes last time, and they’re going to try again later.

      That’s… Literally not the point. Usually you don’t want your military to be controlled by people who wanna take over the government.

      I agree with that. That money would be much better spent on universal healthcare and universal college-level education.

      On the other hand, Tuberville’s reasoning is insanely backward and needs to be punished.
