Guys guys, Russia wants peace and all your land but you warmonger just want war. How dare you!
Says the guy keeping military members as hostages and preventing promotions.
I genuinely wonder what the kompromat is on Sensor Tuberville. He seems to do everything in his power to help Putin's military interests.
To be fair though, Tuberville is a moron.
$$$
Nah Russia always uses the stick alongside the carrot.
Wrong.
They are absolutely willing to use either one single if the other isn't available.
And taking russian money pretty much becomes a stick in and of itself.
Yeah once you take any money in secret, they have the threat of revealing you took secret money.
When a senator does it, there's backlash
But when a twice-impeached presidential nominee facing nearly 100 felony counts does it, he gains support?
This guy is absolutely in Putin's pocket. He spent months obstructing our military's appointment is senior leaders and now he's directly simping for Putin. He's actively trying to make the US weaker and Russia stronger. He should be expelled and impeached so he can't hold public office again.
You're talking about traitor and Russian asset Tommy Tuberville who is a traitor and a Russian asset? That guy?
Correct. The Tommy Tuberville reference is about Russian asset and known traitor Tommy Tuberville, who famously betrayed the U.S. by being a traitor and Russian asset.
Can we just bring him up on treason charges and give him the ol' treasonous-bastard special?
At that point he should really remain on Capitol Hill...just on a pike, as an example of how to deal with traitors.
I wonder how many people would see that and do this.
When will we start to investigate politicians and media figures for ties to our adversaries?
It's a fundamental national security concern and needs to be part of the security clearance program.
This guy is such a dumb piece of shit
🇷🇺 Russian asset Tommy Tuberville can’t even name the 3 branches of US government.
Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville botches history facts, including three branches of government
Remember when Rick Perry couldn't name three government agencies he wanted to eliminate? In a primary debate? That was fucking hilarious. And it tanked his campaign.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rick-perry-fails-to-remember-what-agency-hed-get-rid-of-in-gop-debate/
Now? Wouldn't matter if it was Trump.
I had forgotten about this.
Oy vey, Republicans give me migraines
Then Trump put him in charge of the agency he forgot. Because of course he did.
The best part was one of them was the department of Education.
The worst part was another one was the department of Energy, which Trump made him Secretary of during his term.
As a non-American, I love his name. I imagine it's what you'd call a racist judge in one of the incest states in a Chevy Chase movie.
His name is a potato
Well he is from Alabama so...

If it's stupid and it works, it's still stupid and he’s lucky.
That’s an insult to excrement everywhere. At least it serves a purpose, unlike Tuberville.
Tommy Tuberville continues to prove he's the stupidest person in the senate.
The fact that he was elected because football and insists everyone in the senate call him Coach... just baffling.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Senator Tommy Tuberville, an Alabama Republican, has received harsh criticism online for defending Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired an interview that he did with Putin earlier in the week on his website on Thursday evening.
"Last night's @TuckerCarlson's interview with Putin shows that Russia is open to a peace agreement, while it is DC warmongers who want to prolong the war.
It is the Western side, and Ukraine is obviously a satellite state of the U.S....The current Ukrainian leadership [should] stop and come to a negotiating table, rescind this absurd decree.
Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of MeidasTouch and a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, wrote: "Tuberville believes that Putin wants peace, and the United States wants war.
In an X post on Saturday, which included photos of the aftermath of a fire at a Ukrainian home, Zelensky wrote, "Reality always speakers louder than any words."
The original article contains 576 words, the summary contains 152 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
How hard is it to follow money?
Traitor Tom
Every time this asshole is in the news it makes me wish I'd picked University of Florida instead of Auburn University.
Fuck you ex-coach.
The GOP and its conservative cohort are so sought up in hatred, they'll support a world ending meteor if it hurts their perceived enemies.
He goes by Tommy. At his age. Enough said.
Last night's @TuckerCarlson's interview with Putin shows that Russia is open to a peace agreement,
After repeatedly bashing someone's face for not giving me their lunch money, I am now open to talks where they agree to give me tomorrow's lunch money, as well.
Ahh yes, bending over and allowing Russia to fuck the Western world. Very wise strategy.
I guess we're adding more evidence to the case that he's an idiot. How did he ever become a successful football coach?
~~idiot~~ traitor who sold out to Putin
