Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama said Tuesday he is releasing the bulk of his holds for Senate votes to confirm military promotions.
Tuberville told his colleagues in a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill that he will release the promotions for three-star nominees and below, the vast majority of the nominees.
The move comes after he faced bipartisan pressure to cease his blanket hold on military promotions over a Defense Department reproductive rights policy. Tuberville’s hold started in March and delayed the confirmations of more than 450 top military nominees.
They don’t give a fuck. The right only ‘supports our troops’ on bumper stickers. When it comes to actual policy, the military is just another out-group to fuck over.
The wild part is how many troops/vets refuse to see that and vote against their own interests.
The right literally stand for nothing. They’re a party of grifters who change their positions when it suits their greed best. The accusation of being a hypocrite doesn’t even phase them.
It’s not that wild, is there anything more republican than voting against your own best interests?
