      I sort of wish Obama had more influence. He tried to tell Biden not to run in 2020, which definately would’ve been a better outcome even if the Dems coalesced around a different centrist.

          Yeah, they were never going to let that happen. They’d preferred Trump over Bernie. Would’ve been hilarious to see Chris Matthews freak out even more about Bernie death squads rounding people up and executing them though.

              The problem WAS that people preferred Bernie, same as every other populist candidate. The last ones that won resulted in a Term limit and an assassination respectively.

    To be fair it is true that Schumer and Pelosi are running the country. It’s kind of their job being elected officials and all.

    What a clownshow of a Senator. This guy is one of 100 people in the country that get to vote on whether bills become law. He held up Military promotions (so much for the GOP for supporting our Military!) for ages because he didn’t want gays or abortion anywhere near the military. I’m honestly certain that if enrollment was better, he’d say no Blacks or Browns either. The man is menace. Yet… keeps getting elected.

    Not Hillary? What is this country coming to? (/s)

    Article also includes “along with [Secretary of State Antony] Blinken and [National Security Advisor Jake] Sullivan… They’ve all been making the decisions.”

    As well as “deep state”.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Sen. Tommy Tuberville promoted a conspiracy theory that President Joe Biden is not in charge of the country.

    Instead, he claimed, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and former president Barack Obama — along with “the Deep State” — are calling the shots.

    “We’ve all known Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Obama’s been running the country, along with [Secretary of State Antony] Blinken and [National Security Advisor Jake] Sullivan… They’ve all been making the decisions.

    Joe Biden hasn’t been making decisions… They’ve had total control, not the president,” the Alabama senator told host Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.

    Tuberville is the Republican senator who single-handedly held up hundreds of military promotions for months — even over the objectives of some of his GOP colleagues — because he disagreed with the Pentagon’s policy of paying for military members’ travel to obtain abortion care.

    When a news story made it seem like Biden’s White House specifically did not allow religious-themed Easter egg designs at its annual contest — while neglecting to note that, according to the American Egg Board, which supports the event, the language barring religious symbols from the designs has been in place for decades — Tuberville doubled-down on his claims, tweeting that the Democrats “are a Satanic cult.”
