    Which is surprising because they elected Tuberville. Who is holding up hundreds on military promotions because he doesn’t want women to have healthcare.

      I feel like there should be a way to hold politicians like Tuberville in contempt. Not only is his cause complete bullshit, he is allowing domestic politics to get in the way of national security.

      Of course, endangering national security seems to be a part of the republicans platform these days.

        There is. He can be censured which is just ceremonial. He can have his committee appointments rescinded which would neuter his bullshit. He could be expelled and his constituency would need to elect someone else.

        The problem is that Republicans support him so none of this will ever happen. Trump committed treason on live television by asking a hostile foreign nation to influence our elections and they complied that day. Republicans don’t care, they only want to win and damn the country.
