Tommy Tuberville voted aganst confirming the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because he heard he had some woke policies. > "I heard some things that he talked about, about race and things that he wanted to mix into the military,” Tuberville said. > "Let me tell you something. Our military is not an equal opportunity employer,” the Alabama Republican said… [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-26/tuberville-says-military-is-not-an-equal-opportunity-employer](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-26/tuberville-says-military-is-not-an-equal-opportunity-employer) ---

Best line in that article: > [@](#): > > The US military has had an equal opportunity policy since 1948, when President Harry Truman signed an executive order desegregating the military and guaranteeing “equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion or national origin.” These clowns just really don’t even understand basic historical facts and legal terms anymore, do they? ---

You know, Tommy, you’d probably get more votes in Alabama if you were just honest and said “I don’t want colored people in the military”. ---

If Biden did have a time machine, I can see certain noisy politicians that might suddenly and mysteriously become unborn as we’re wrenched into a new timeline. Since that hasn’t happened yet, we can safely conclude Biden’s time machine is still in our future. Maybe. Depending on which version of time travel causation you subscribe to. Or used to subscribe to. Or might someday subscribe to. Or maybe all 3. 🤪 ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > You know, Tommy, you’d probably get more votes in Alabama if you were just honest and said “I don’t want colored people in the military”. I’m sure he’s fine with coloreds in the military, as long as they’re doing the grunt work and taking enemy fire. He just doesn’t want them in positions where they can tell white people what to do. ---

> [@Kimstu](#): > > These clowns just really don’t even understand basic historical facts and legal terms anymore, do they? My idiot congressman, Andy Biggs, made a FB post: "The House has already passed H.R. 2 to secure our border, but the Biden Administration refuses to enforce it. " He clearly doesn’t understand that passing the house alone doesn’t make a bill a law. I think he needs to go back to school, or at least, Schoolhouse Rock! ---

Well, it invovled him telling them what to do and them not getting paid for it, which he was definitely more than comfortable with.
