    What I don’t understand is why he simply hasn’t been removed; he’s not doing his job (on purpose) and is can basically be called a traitor. So… remove him???

    Tuberville, of Alabama, has delayed the confirmations of more than 300 top military nominees over his opposition to the Pentagon’s policy of reimbursing service members and their families who have to travel to receive abortion care. In the Senate, one senator can hold up nominations or legislation, and Tuberville’s stance has left three military services to operate without a Senate-confirmed leader for the first time in history.

    Like… how is not the actions of a traitor? Remove him from power, hold a new election for his position, and get things back on track.

    In July, Tuberville posted on X, “I didn’t start this. The Biden admin injected politics in the military and imposed an unlawful abortion policy on American taxpayers. I am trying to get politics out of the military.”

    Lying sack of shit. He’s putting politics in (his own politics).

    Because the GOP is complicit.

    They like what he’s doing.

    phillaholic ,

    It’s always projection with these people. If they complain about “politics” or “activist judges” they are really calling for their own politics or active judges to undo the will of the people.

    Hazdaz ,

    why he simply hasn’t been removed;

    Same reason that the Trump appointed head of the Post Office hasn’t been removed… Democrats are cowards who are never willing to go on the offensive and make a huge stink about things.

    Do you think for even a second that Dejoy or Tuberville would still be in the positions that they are in if the parties were reversed? Not a fucken chance.

    Republicans would have started an endless war if Democrats had someone in the Post Office fucking everything up or they had someone holding up that many military nominees. They would be on the news 24/7 vilifying these people and all hell would have broken loose. They would use this as a perfect example of how Democrats are supposedly anti-military. And the news media would have gone right along with it.

    What do Democrats do? crickets… in fact I try to follow the news fairly closely and this is the first time I have heard the name Tuberville.

    Traitors only get 20 years? Dang, soft punishment for treason, but at least it’s something eh.

    Draedron ,

    “Only” 20 years? There can be whatever number and people will still say it is too little

    Monkeyhog ,

    Historically, people who attempt to overthrow their government get death. Hell, they still execute Guy Fawkes symbolically every year. And all we do is put them up in prison for 20 years? We’ve gone soft.

    echodot ,

    they still execute Guy Fawkes symbolically every year. And all we do is put them up in prison for 20 years

    Yeah but in reality the UK doesn’t have the death penalty for any crime anymore, including treason.

    Meanwhile the US regularly executes people for a single murder.

    Monkeyhog ,

    Which is why it’s bullshit that someone who attempted to overthrow the government just gets 20 years.

    Draedron ,

    Or you use your energy to advocate for less draconian punishments instead of demanding more

    Monkeyhog ,

    I do, insurrection is the only crime I believe should merit the death penalty. Nothing else is even close to how dangerous that is. A murderer may kill a couple of dozen people at most, if someone overthrows the government, that could lead to death for millions and a shifting of history for decades if not centuries. That should be the only capital crime.

    Draedron ,

    Since we always did it wrong we have to continue to do so?

    Katana314 ,

    I dunno if they could start such a Guy Fawkes tradition after V for Vendetta came out.

    pqdinfo ,

    Yes, and civilized societies are trying to get away from that kind of barbarism.

    Also it’s not as if it’s 20+ years in a (Insert name of progressive European country) prison. It’s going to be a hell.

    Finally, no risk of martyrdom. Just saying.

    LufyCZ ,

    Don’t think you understand what 20 years in prison looks like.

    I don’t either, but it sure would ruin my life

    Smokeless7048 ,

    Guys losing 1/3 of his adult life, and won’t get out of prison before his 60s. I’m extremely anti-j6, but 22 years seems like a nice hefty sentance to me

    If Trump gets the WH again, he’ll probably pardon all of these fools.

    I think the prosecutor recommended 40.

    spider , (edited ) in Air Canada apologizes for booting passengers who complained that their seats were smeared with vomit

    She said the pilot told the women, who were on their way to Vienna, that they could leave and book new flights at their own expense “or they would be escorted off the plane by security and placed on a no fly list!”

    Most fast-food workers have better soft skills than this.

    PopcornPlayaa_ , in First Lady tests positive for COVID

    Can you really compare the two? Sometimes you can fly without a plane, you just die a couple of seconds after free fall . Also, why are vaccines seatbelts, isn’t the whole point to immunize? Or is that just for every other vaccine except this one?

    PopcornPlayaa_ , in First Lady tests positive for COVID

    Yeah maybe gene therapy, not a vaccine in my mind. I never got Polio and I was vaxxed so what gives? Is this the only vaccine that works like dogshit?

    FReddit , in US military leaders say Tuberville is aiding US adversaries with hold on military nominations | CNN Politics

    This is a two-party system at its worst.

    I’m old enough that my grandfathers fought in WWI. My mother’s second husband was a B-17 captain. Third husband was a fighter pilot in the Pacific theater. My father retired from the regular army as a LTC. Col.

    These bastards would have fought each other to get to the head of the line to beat the shit out of Turderville.

    But as others have noted, we have this obstructionist process in place.

    As one of the other commentators said, maybe we should change the fucking rule. I just don’t know how.

    I’ve never voted Republikklan in my life, but there were some who had honor. Senator McCain, for example. But now we’re stuck with this shit with legs.

    McCain was an asshole, but at least he knew when to play ball.

    phillaholic ,

    McCain was one of the last respectable Republicans. I disagreed with many many of his ideas, but I think he was honorable as a person and thought he was doing what was right for the country.

    FReddit ,

    I’m not a fan. But I felt like he had a commitment, even if I didn’t agree with it. Now you have this pond scum

    kgbbot , in US military leaders say Tuberville is aiding US adversaries with hold on military nominations | CNN Politics

    Tuberville is an absolute fucking dumb shit who deserves the benefits that his poorest constituents receive and nothing more.

    drphungky , in Person dies after 2 driverless cars block ambulance on way to hospital

    I get that “man bites dog” is more newsworthy, as they say. But can we stop a tick and internalize that a human driven car hit and killed someone, and we’re talking about how it’s the autonomous car’s fault for adding a slight delay!

    Give me a break. An ambulance being stuck in traffic by idiot drivers is nothing new. The autonomous cars may even kill people at a rate we’re uncomfortable with. They’re still gonna be better than humans. Humans are terrible drivers. Autonomous cars can’t come soon enough, and yes, I say that even as someone who prefers transit. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

    Duamerthrax ,

    They’re still gonna be better than humans.

    They aren’t yet and once they are, we can stop having this discussion. Until then…

    corsicanguppy ,

    the autonomous car’s fault for adding a slight delay!

    And, as suggested with a summary apparently taken from video evidence, the only car blocking the route cleared the area as soon as it was able. … You know; like a human driver should (but, if you’ve ever seen the traffic to the tunnel in 07306 and heard the woop-wu-woop-woop DJ as he tries to remind drivers to GTFO of the way, you’d know they don’t).

    “On August 14 two Cruise AVs encountered an active emergency scene at an intersection in which a pedestrian had been hit by a human driven car. The first vehicle promptly clears the area once the light turns green and the other stops in the lane to yield to first responders who are directing traffic. Throughout the entire duration the AV is stopped, traffic remains unblocked and flowing to the right of the AV,” Cruise said in a statement obtained by KRON-TV.

    this brings up a good question. Can you sue the maker of these cars for wrongful death?
