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.
We tried that once. It didn’t go so well.
Investigating is one thing; persecuting with nothing more than suspicion is quite another.
Agreed. See also: Benghazi, Hunter Biden, etc.
We have a bad habit of gliding down the slippery slope.
That’s a disingenuous comparison.
But fair enough, guardrails need to be in place.
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.
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!
Person saying things that Twitter/X don’t agree with gets backlash on Twitter… Clickbait even if true call me when he faces backlash within his party please.
Am I supposed to have a flourish of patriotism while our nation conspires economically agaisnt it’s own citizens while materially supporting a genocide that’s in our economic interests when our necrotic nation calls another necrotic nation good?
Kind of need standing for that, sorry. These are serial killers pointing fingers at one another like it means anything anymore.
Oh and before the baseless accusations, fuck Putin, if we cared we’d use our embarrassing military industrial complex for good for once and not oil market access and assassinate him.
This guy is such a dumb piece of shit
That’s an insult to excrement everywhere. At least it serves a purpose, unlike Tuberville.
🇷🇺 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.
Then Trump put him in charge of the agency he forgot. Because of course he did.
I had forgotten about this.
Oy vey, Republicans give me migraines
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.
He’s not stupid at all. He’s been working for Russia and against American interests for years, doing it all in the open, and succeeding.
If it’s stupid and it works, it’s still stupid and he’s lucky.
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.
Well he is from Alabama so…
His name is a potato
I guess we’re adding more evidence to the case that he’s an idiot. How did he ever become a successful football coach?
Ahh yes, bending over and allowing Russia to fuck the Western world. Very wise strategy.
Traitor Tom
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?
He goes by Tommy. At his age. Enough said.
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.
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.
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.
The senator responsible for singlehandedly blockading all US military promotions for the better part of two years and doing everything to stymie normal military operations in the United States now comes out and OPENLY defends Putin.
He was on the Russian payroll before, he’s on it now. Nothing at all has changed in that regard.
The sole difference is that right now, Putin is pushing for Western acceptance, and thus his paid lackeys are being tasked with supporting him a bit more loudly. Tucker Carlson goes to Russia to get Putin’s story to Western viewers, and Tuberville does the same on the Senate floor.
Every bit of it bought and paid for with Russian wealth.
FUCK you, Tuberville traitor piece of shit.
