Current Events > Senator Tuberville wants to do away with elections.

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.al.com/news/2023/05/tuberville-on-durham-report-if-people-dont-go-to-jail-lets-dont-have-elections-anymore.html

Pushing lies about the Durham report recently released that couldn't find any wrong doing by the FBI opening an investigation into Donnie.

Speaking on John Bachman Now, Tuberville said, If people dont go to jail for this, the American people should just stand up and say, Listen, enoughs enough, lets dont have elections anymore. I wish there was a special investigation into the voter fraud, but it was outrageous what happened, but nobody wanted to look into it because they were afraid they were going to be called out. But it is what it is. I hate that it happened.

Play the game of "Imagine if a democrat had said this...."

What do you expect from a KKK supporting hick.

They want a fascist dictatorship.

Once more Republicans showing how great they are

Yeah fuck that guy

Of course. elections are the biggest inconvenience for them.

"let's don't have"

the 17th amendment was a mistake, yes.

Someone should have told him to shut up and coach.

Wholly unqualified US Senator has bad opinions?

Bring me my fainting couch

Alabama only can send their worst.

Okay, I guess Joe Biden will be President until he dies then. And the Democrats will control the senate for the forseeable future.

Expect nothing but idiocy from the man who believes his father fought in WWII "to free Europe from socialism".

Oh no no no. His no more elections bit only applies to sitting Republicans.

Any sitting Democrats he will under the same breath demand an election.

It's rules for thee but not for me silly.

The newest thing going around GOP circles is to not let people vote for 5 years if they move to a new place.

Yeah. Really wish reporters were apparently quick witted enough to ask even just the simplest of follow ups like that.

He really said that?

I'm downright shocked that this person who is completely unqualified for public office is really, really bad at his job.

I don't follow the finer points of sports teams that I don't root for personally; was he this much of a relentless sore loser as a coach?

Absolutely disgusting.

He keeps simping for white nationalists and assuming anyone who is called that is simply a maga republican that doesn't deserve such a label.

Probably the truest thing he has ever said.

Yes. It gets worse:

Our government wasnt set up for one group to have all three branches of government wasnt set up that way, Tuberville continued, saying incorrectly: You know, the House, the Senate, and the executive.

On WWII (referring to Trump's defeat):

Thats concerning to me, that were to the point now where weve got almost half the country voting for something that this country wasnt built on, Tuberville said. I tell people, my dad fought 76 years ago in Europe to free Europe of socialism.

They're probably under strict orders from their superiors to not "antagonize" them.

Don't forget how him saying Donnie being a convicted sexual abuser makes him want to vote for him EVEN MORE.

For 5 fucking years? I could understand 2 years, but 5? I could also understand banning people from running for office in a state that they haven't resided in for at least 5 years. Actually, I don't think the latter would be such a bad idea.

If the government sucks so bad, why would you want it to appoint its own leaders, Tommy?

War Eagle??

He's not the only one. I've seen plenty of chuds on Free Republic (along with chud "journalists", bloggers, and influencers they quote) claiming that "racist", "white nationalist" and "Neinazi" are merely left-wing dogwhistles for conservatives and Christians, in order to dehumanize them for the imminent persecution. (Bear in mind that some of these people have a fairly specific definition of those things, that would basically define Billy Graham, Pope Francis, and conservatives like McConnell as Pagan or Satanist liberals/socialists/marxists/communists. Yes, there are chuds who insist that McConnell and Rubio are Marxists.
Oh, and by "they consider Pope Francis to be Pagan", I'm not even talking about the Protestant nutburgers who insist that Catholicism = Paganism/Satanism. I'm talking about the Protestants AND Catholics who insist that he's a Pagan/Satanist because he's not conservative or dominionist enough)

And to think some people are too thin skinned to handle political discussions when the far right is trying to strip away their rights.

By doing this, he's showing everyone his true nature. Take a good look and see what he truly is. A throwback trying to drag us back with him to what he calls the "good ol' days."

Ending reconstruction was a mistake.

...in fact, it should be reinstated.

Alabama literally elected this dude over Doug Jones
