Vote these money grubbing Red Reps OUT! As Soon as Possible! It is TOO Close! To being TOO LATE!

maximumjim.bsky.social•106 days ago

Tommy clearly does not understand what Social Security and a Ponzi scheme are.

Tommy doesn’t understand many things. That’s why he is dangerous.

shannontaylor.bsky.social•107 days ago

Whenever people mess around with the idea of getting rid of social security and other safety nets, I think about our guide in China explaining to us how they got to the point where they were killing and exporting their baby girls. Spoiler: it didn't come out of nowhere.

tresblue.bsky.social•107 days ago

I read the book “Wild Swans” highly recommend

shannontaylor.bsky.social•107 days ago

Yes, thank you, my book club read it! Since we're on the subject, I'm always amazed by Americans who think safety nets and protections are their God-given right and not something we decided to do together as a team, often out of desperation.

micahbergdale.bsky.social•156 days ago

How AL voters did not re-elect you is beyond me

nashnative.bsky.social•138 days ago

“A Ponzi Scheme”… Just what you would expect from an average D1 football coach who had a bunch of six and seven figure dollar contracts. He has totally lost touch with the average person who works for years and counts on Soc Sec as part of if not all of their retirement. Leave it alone, Tommy!

pcafe.bsky.social•74 days ago

And what is the Action Plan Doug?

enoughistoomuch.bsky.social•156 days ago

Again from the stupidest man in Congress. By a lot!! We pay into it so it will be there when we retire! Ponzi scheme? You need to learn what a ponzi scheme is. Maybe ask Trump how it works. Or some of your colleagues.

alabamabluedot54.bsky.social•155 days ago

He should know. He was part of one

funnybunny1956.bsky.social•156 days ago

Crypto is the big ponzu scheme

shabo71.bsky.social•107 days ago

Current seniors don't care. They have zero concern for future Social Security beneficiaries. As with everything else, we all just need to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. They have no idea what they have created for us. No understanding whatsoever.

elizabethpgraham.bsky.social•107 days ago

I care. I don't want to be dependent on my children. That's what happened before Social Security.

kandi157.bsky.social•107 days ago

You’re wrong. We care about the future of this country & our children & grandchildren. We want the program to be solvent & available for everyone. We could blame younger people for protest votes or apathy getting us in this mess, but blaming either side d/n help. It’s the GOP we should stop

shabo71.bsky.social•107 days ago

Yes, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said it like that. I'm a blue dot in a sea of red. I'm not young, but not retirement age yet. My older than me relatives and others around me complain about Social Security, Medicare, and other "government money" all the time. 1

shabo71.bsky.social•107 days ago

And they blame younger generations for every problem. THEY won't care for OUR sakes. They have theirs. I appreciate good people like you who are NOT that way and apologize for my blanket statement.

shabo71.bsky.social•107 days ago

Oops /2

gwg2.bsky.social•107 days ago

We need you to run for office. These MAGA Republicans are going to kill us all.

popularrevoltmedia.bsky.social•107 days ago

They are preparing the objective. I think maybe they will start by trying to make it optional to participate in SS and that will collapse it by doing that alone. I hear thats what they want to do with workmans comp as well.... I could be wrong...HIGHLY unlikely tho lol

epremo.bsky.social•76 days ago

socdistantlovser.bsky.social•156 days ago

I still can’t believe your state elected that joke

seniorfisherman.bsky.social•154 days ago

We’ll see how long it takes these same people to throw 2berville out when they lose Social Security. Blind trust in a conman’s political party is going to cost them what little they have but they were warned like everyone else.

seniorfisherman.bsky.social•154 days ago

There’s thousands of 10 or so member little backward churches in our state. They grouped together on the abortion issue and forgot about everything else in the process. They can hardly pay the light bill but give their support to Republicans. Why ? I’ll never know.

billbeaird.bsky.social•154 days ago

Tommy knows more than a thing or two about Ponzi schemes. Why wasn’t he prosecuted? Professional courtesy????

kaja217.bsky.social•107 days ago

More Grifting for Trump’s Billionaire Loyalists. 🤑
This. Is. Not. Normal.

deboraho.bsky.social•104 days ago

Republicans want to privatize everything.

corwin007.bsky.social•107 days ago

trying to think of who WOULDN'T want Social Security.... i know it's a stretch... billionaires?

slip-sliding.bsky.social•107 days ago

THIS is the kind of DEMOCRAT bullshit that has led to the fascist takeover of AMERICA....
THEY fuck it up and tell US to BEWARE....
Fucking jerks....

slip-sliding.bsky.social•107 days ago

Beware? Beware!?
Why? What can we do? YOU FUCKS Have given the country to the pricks who want to FUCK US!
BEWARE?!
DAMN RIGHT ...BEWARE OF FUCKING DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE THEIR HEADS UP THEIR ASSES....
Hey ..thanks for the heads up....fuck nut!

vaqueandconfusing.bsky.social•74 days ago

I would not want my social security privatized.

sossity.bsky.social•154 days ago

Tubby Tomerville’s most important political attribute to Alabama voters is that he was a football coach.

ghostofgroucho.bsky.social•107 days ago

They Touch my Social Security, i touch my trigger! I got over 300K of MY money in there!

They want to liquidate it, i'll just accept a check for the full amount.

We were just discussing this

mastersgtscott.bsky.social•107 days ago

Doug, I’ll never understand how the people in Alabama voted for this clown over you. Actually, I guess I do understand…

haylibop.bsky.social•156 days ago

I hate to be the grammar nazi but sometimes it really is,’ eats shoots and leaves’.

jtucker1959.bsky.social•104 days ago

This is what keeps me up at night. I'm 2 years from retirement and I feel like it won't be there.

elizabethpgraham.bsky.social•107 days ago

Who will run against Tuberville in 2026? Tommy has given us plenty of video clips to use against him.

bluwtrgrl.bsky.social•139 days ago

😡😡😡 Loathe both of these traitors. 25 years of my life spent fighting for freedom, and it seems it was all for not! 😡😡⚓️🇺🇸

deb6377.bsky.social•107 days ago

😞💔

baileyinnarnia.bsky.social•107 days ago

Beware SENIORS? No, beware *younger generations* that you crusty shits have UTTERLY DESTROYED all hopes of a future for. Fuck all of you. This mess is your fucking fault.

bren29.bsky.social•104 days ago

He is an embarrassment and an idiot!

jonsevyd.bsky.social•156 days ago

America’s dumbest senator hands down. Actually wait, Ron Johnson is up there too.

momoftwo.bsky.social•138 days ago

Still upset with Alabama voters for not sending you back to the Senate.

albbelt.bsky.social•124 days ago

Some of us tried.

momoftwo.bsky.social•124 days ago

I know and that is why this is so damn sad. I live in GA and am already worried about Ossof losing his seat in 26.

dameofdestiny.bsky.social•156 days ago

How is Tommy Tuberville not the easiest moron in the world to defeat? He's just so very stupid. Can't you wave something shiny in front of him then throw in the road in case he'll run after it?

ramrca.bsky.social•156 days ago

daimakku.bsky.social•156 days ago

I still can't believe Alabama traded you for this absolute clown.

The stupidity in this country is mind boggling.

lieutenant-kije.bsky.social•129 days ago

The stupidity in Alabama & Mississippi.

elizabethpgraham.bsky.social•107 days ago

It's white supremacy. Doug Jones cares about Black people, so white supremacist voted him out.

nanceecain.bsky.social•156 days ago

Gooberville is nothing more than a kiss a$$

dog-mom24.bsky.social•107 days ago

Tuberville can't be as stupid as he appears, can he?

seniorfisherman.bsky.social•154 days ago

Last in everything “Alabama” And can’t figure out why😂
I know plenty of MAGAs who will starve without this so called Ponzi scheme 2berville called Social Security and Medicare. But they deserve just what they voted for.

j9graphics.bsky.social•87 days ago

It’s not a Ponzi scheme, Tubervilke is such a fucking moron, who obviously doesn’t care about people who need it.
It’s our money! WTF????????🤬

j9graphics.bsky.social•87 days ago

The fact is it’s my money and your money, and the GOP just wants to steal it. I want my damn money. Going after people who need the money that is their fucking money, and leaving the people alone who don’t pay any taxes at all, like Elon fucking Musk is fucking insane. Well Fuck that. #SSisourmoney

exiledindixie.bsky.social•154 days ago

In all fairness, Tubby knows a lot about schemes and scams. They've provided him a nice living.

kinosminion.bsky.social•107 days ago

The only thing I'd trust with Tuberville is that any detail he brings up is false, fabricated, or deeply misunderstood.

I suspect the reason the GOP pushes privatization over fixing issues is because it's a guaranteed market that can be exploited for profit.

rbbrent.bsky.social•107 days ago

Tooberville’s anti-intellect is profoundly beyond comprehension.

dhscpa.bsky.social•156 days ago

Our country, not to mention your state, lost so much when we lost you to the “dumbest Senator of the year.”

watermaidens.bsky.social•138 days ago

52 million US citizens receive SS. All 52 million will fight this tooth and nail. Privatization be dammed. 💀

blue-fire1.bsky.social•115 days ago

How can we stop it. I don't want to "Watch" out. I want to mobilize.

carljwfisher.bsky.social•156 days ago

How is it voters let things like Senator Tuberville happen?

lawrencetracy.bsky.social•156 days ago

It's amazing how being a college football coach gives you such a grounding in public policy....

okiedok.bsky.social•107 days ago

Call tommy #202-224-4124. He still calls himself coach🤯

samanthahope.bsky.social•156 days ago

Crazy he reps Bama and lives in FL….wants to burn the world down for Seniors?

barbaramorris.bsky.social•107 days ago

The only scheme I see, is you being a senator

alarod.bsky.social•107 days ago

Trump is finished if he tries to put his claws on Social Security.

bestmimi.bsky.social•88 days ago

Tuberville is the idiot they use to float their agenda first

lexi6toes.bsky.social•154 days ago

Translation: Make insurance only work for the RICH!

Tuberville net worth: 13M

Thanks, Doug. And Roll Tide!

seanofthesea.bsky.social•76 days ago

He's right, I wanted to wave my Medicare when I turned 65, and stay on Medicaid. Now I have to pay out of pocket for my prescriptions. It IS a Scam! We need to combine both programs for a Single Payer Healthcare System. It's all connected to Social Security and Health and Human Services.

andy-1967.bsky.social•154 days ago

This is the traitor senator that held up promotions in the military? From outside it looks like all your republican representatives are absolutely bent on the destruction of your country.

dudaatam.bsky.social•124 days ago

Actually we were trying to warn you guys, but you kept wanting to play nice and “reach across the aisle”.
