    What if he is really blocking all those military promotions so that if the next guy is TFG he can install "coup friendly" people in those spots?

    I think you are giving one of the biggest morons in the senate too much credit

    I think it is just as reactionary as it appears. To think otherwise is to credit him with long range planning and Machiavellian deviousness and I don’t think he has it in him.

    Well that’s not a high-end thought. In fact, it’s as low-end as it gets.

    But also agreed, he’s not even that smart.

    Well if the TFG gets elected would he need a coup? I guess if he wanted at 3rd term. I think Tubberville just didnt want Space Command in Huntsville.

    Excuse me, but who/what is TFG? (It's probably going to be obvious, but it isn't asI sit here and ponder it.)
    BTW, Tubberville is a doofus!

    He is more in the crackpot lawyer category than strategic planner. Unless he has an assignment from Bannon :)

    At what point do they find a way around tubberville? How long can we really go without promoting our officers? Seems totally insane.

    What if Tommy Tubbervile doesn’t actually live in Alabama? What’s the remedy?

    Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville Might Actually Be Living In Florida: WaPo Report

    Glenn Kessler dug into the details of Tuberville’s real estate dealings and found“campaign finance reports and his signature on property documents indicate that his home is actually a $3 million, 4,000-square-foot beach house he has lived in for nearly two decades in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., located in the Florida Panhandle about 90 miles south of Dothan.”

    Kessler cited the U.S. Constitution’s mandate that senators must be “an inhabitant” of the state they’re elected to represent. His research showed that Tuberville may have used sleight of hand to make it appear as though he lived in Alabama when he was elected to the Senate in 2020.
