EDIT: Why are people downvoting this? At least come in and explain. I think it’s kind of important when a senator says something that atrocious.

    I wonder if the NSA would take my tip seriously. Or maybe the FBI? There’s a lot of russian assets in congress, it seems.

      Let’s not get carried away here…

      Sure, Tommy Tube is much worse, but Jones was still a conservative democrat who voted

      • Against ending US support of ethnic cleansing in Yemen

      • For eliminating the protections Dodd-Frank put in place to stop the greed and carelessness of Wall Street from causing more recessions

      • Against the Green New Deal (one of only 3 Dems to do so. He wanted to be on the record opposing it even as most of the others voted present)

      Overall, he voted with the fascists 35% of the time.

      You might point out that 90-100% is much more than 35, and that is of course correct, but 35% is still at least 30% higher than what it should have been, allowing for a small number of uncontroversial votes.

      He’s a Senator - his district is the whole state.

      Not that this negates anything you said, just clarifying.

    Tommy Tuberville gets his marching orders from #Putin. Alabama is going to be so shocked when all of their military bases are shuttered.
