From The New Republic, “The Marine Corps’s chief officer has been hospitalized after suffering a heart attack, leaving the military branch scrambling to fill gaps in leadership caused by Senator Tommy Tuberville’s block on military promotions. And no, the Republican senator won’t let up.” This is what happens when one of the dumbest states in the Union elects a football coach to be a Senator. I expected nothing less from Alabamians. But this is all part and parcel of the RepubliKKKlan Party: Elect the dumbest, most unqualified people to the highest positions of government (e.g., traitor trump and Mike Johnson, to name a couple more). What could possibly go wrong?
But Schumer, at this point, is just as much to blame for all these military promotion holdups. This is nothing new for me to say. I’ve been complaining about feckless Schumer ever since he became the Senate leader. He is weak and stupid. If he really, really wanted to push through these military promotions, then he could. He controls the Senate, and there are ways to get around Tuberville’s blockade. But no! He won’t! And other dumbass Democrats are equally culpable for their passivity. They (wrongly) believe that Democrats are somehow scoring political points by allowing Tuberville to drag this fight out. Once again, dumbass Democrats are wrong and underestimate the stupidity and apathy of the average American voter. I promise that the average f***tard American is entirely oblivious to these military holds, let alone blame RepubliKKKlans or apprehend that abortion rights are the underlying excuse from Tuberville. None of this matters because voters don’t care, and they’re too stupid to be informed. So, this idea that Democrats are one-upping RepubliKKKlans by doing nothing is all wrong. And the notion that Tuberville will be punished is also a pipe dream. He’ll get re-elected easily because RepubliKKKlan politicians can do no wrong in the eyes of their voters. Nothing stops them from putting and keeping the worst people in power.
That leads me back to Schumer and his inability to do basically anything. As I’ve suggested countless times, Schumer should get all the Senators in the Senate chamber, lock the f***ing doors (so to speak), and just start debating and voting. Whip out the cots and order pizza. No one is going home until every promotion has been voted on. Two things will happen: (1) All of a sudden, RepubliKKKlans agree to change the rules and start overriding Tuberville’s holds, or (2) RepubliKKKlans (assuming Democrats can hold the f***ing line, which I grant is a huge if) start dropping out (i.e., leave) thereby reducing the quorum so that Democrats have a supermajority to change the rule on holds. Thus, they can pass all the promotions at once — like they normally do. This is the hardball politics that dumbass Democrats should be playing. But no! Democrats are f***ing weak and stupid, and it drives me absolutely f***ing nuts that this party can’t get its f***ing act together. I expected nothing less. This is why Democrats can’t win. Welcome to stupid America! Too stupid to endure.
