Tuberville, who’s singlehandedly blocked hundreds of military promotions in protest over the Pentagon’s abortion policies, said he’s not going to change his mind and doesn’t care that people aren’t being promoted.
After the US Supreme Court reversed decades of precedent in overturning its decision in the Roe v. Wade abortion access case in 2022, the Pentagon announced its plan to reimburse service members who need to travel out-of-state to receive abortion services.
Tuberville, a Republican senator out of Alabama, took exception to the decision and said he’d use his power to stymie any military nominations and promotions he could. Since February, he’s blocked more than 300 promotions.
Indeed. He’s just as disingenuous, illogical, and pants-shittingly stupid as his voters. All they care about is the tantrum, and it’s about fucking time the military learned that the GOP doesn’t give a damn about anything except using them as props.
And worse, it’s a tantrum about white supremacy, he’s punishing the military for trying to push these terrorists out of their ranks.
