Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama said Tuesday he is releasing the bulk of his holds for Senate votes to confirm military promotions.
Tuberville told his colleagues in a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill that he will release the promotions for three-star nominees and below, the vast majority of the nominees.
The move comes after he faced bipartisan pressure to cease his blanket hold on military promotions over a Defense Department reproductive rights policy. Tuberville’s hold started in March and delayed the confirmations of more than 450 top military nominees.
Keep going, Tommy. Dig that hole. I’m sure holding up military promotions is very endearing to your base.
They don’t give a fuck. The right only ‘supports our troops’ on bumper stickers. When it comes to actual policy, the military is just another out-group to fuck over.
The wild part is how many troops/vets refuse to see that and vote against their own interests.
The right literally stand for nothing. They’re a party of grifters who change their positions when it suits their greed best. The accusation of being a hypocrite doesn’t even phase them.
It’s not that wild, is there anything more republican than voting against your own best interests?
Don’t worry, they’ll go ask people at Walmart what they think.
