Oh, there are plenty of dumb Rs who would like to challenge for that title.

teamquimby.bsky.social•25 days ago

The Democrats need to go full Gronk on a Super Bowl float.

rigbythedog.bsky.social•25 days ago

I’d argue Donald trump is the dumbest living republican. Tuberville at one time had a 12-0 college football team. Trump wouldn’t be able to do that.

cgblue.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yes. Obstruct. But they don't know how to, as they are Vichy Democrats.

pauldu.bsky.social•25 days ago

Tommy Tuberville is constantly testing the limits of his stupidity

His autobio title; Defying Intelligence: Ghost Written, Of Course

shartcircuit.bsky.social•25 days ago

But what about norms?

simracing.bsky.social•24 days ago

This premise is flawed. They can do it, they just don't want to.

lemonbars.bsky.social•25 days ago

This man’s stupidity transcends party affiliation

soonermedic72.bsky.social•25 days ago

Someone should just tell him that there is another senatorial position open at a different country and see if he dips out in the middle of dinner like he did at Texas Tech!

rawrtigerlily.bsky.social•25 days ago

He's dumb as a box of rocks, but holding up military appointments was completely intentional, because this traitor WANTS the military filled with drunk, racist loyalists to Trump.

rubyinwolfland00.bsky.social•25 days ago

Point being if this dumb ass can find the loophole to pull that off why can’t Dems shut down the maga fascists when they are beating the gates down and ruining everyone’s lives.

natsfan.bsky.social•25 days ago

C’mon man, Tuberville is dumber than even dead republicans

lcla.bsky.social•25 days ago

YES! And after one "no" it turns to "fuck no" if the GOP continues to persist.

kproud.bsky.social•25 days ago

oh there are at least 20 from the south as dumb as he is.

jlindy.bsky.social•25 days ago

Ron Johnson of Wisconsin couldn't pour piss from a boot even if you told him you'd printed instructions on the heel.

stewardn.bsky.social•25 days ago

eventually, people are going to become violent.

bresnanteddy.bsky.social•25 days ago

You think this was a good thing?

Seriously dude...

jmgallo.bsky.social•25 days ago

Using this tactic to block actual bad things from happening? Yes.

danlichtenstein.bsky.social•25 days ago

I mean..that sounds great in theory. But, do you honestly think that the GOP wouldn't use every single option available to bypass it? They would absolutely have zero issue simply ignoring dem stall tactics and forcing the approvals by another manner.

bioturbonick.net•25 days ago

Make them.

rollforphobia.bsky.social•25 days ago

They’re *already* cacking on about deep state agents and lifetime bureaucrats who are sabotaging Mister Trump’s Big Beautiful Agenda, and they’re not even being opposed by anything real! They’re completely unprepared for pushback because they’ve convinced themselves Trump has the Mandate of Heaven.

Every vote delayed. Every request for a document met with a demand for a subpoena. Ever subpoena met with a court challenge. Every court decision met with an appeal. Every appeal brought higher. Time is the only real enemy that rich old men face.

palmereldritch.bsky.social•25 days ago

Some of them are already half way there.

marleyginsburg.bsky.social•25 days ago

This is the senator yall are asking me to call… 🫠 Spoiler alert: I don’t even bother.

jonoco.bsky.social•25 days ago

You think about how Dems act like they want to be Republicans and I've gotta ask why they aren't jumping at the opportunity to pretend to be one?! Pretend a President really wanted Medicare-for-all, or a student loan jubilee. It'd be easy since they'd really fight those harder than they do Trump!

lena.realitywerks.com•25 days ago

Ah, but that would require having a spine as opposed to being obsessed with being liked by faux "friends across the aisle" who were hitting them with this playbook for years.

"We're better than that," they sniff, as Rome burns around them

garden65.bsky.social•25 days ago

Just how dumb is he?? In an Alabama Daily News interview after his election, Tuberville said that the European theater of World War II was fought "to free Europe of socialism" and that the three branches of the U.S. federal government were "the House, the Senate, and the executive."

booridley.bsky.social•25 days ago

Who’s our Tommy Tuberville? Need someone to take one for the team.

hollyphantpants.bsky.social•25 days ago

Sadly Fetterman is in the tank for Trump.

Dumb Fuck Orcs have a lot of power in the Republican Party.

infinitelyloopy.bsky.social•25 days ago

Whoah whoah whoah.

Dumbest living Republican? In the immortal words of Fran Lebowitz “You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t”

rdrslori.bsky.social•25 days ago

He is absolutely the dumbest living Republican. I will never understand how bring a sports coach or player qualifies someone to be a politician. This country is full of idiots.

exiledindixie.bsky.social•25 days ago

The only Republicans dumber than Tuberville are those who voted for him.

brigidmacguffin.bsky.social•25 days ago

Oh, if only there was a single spine among the lot.

benschwartz.bsky.social•25 days ago

"Tommy Tuberville blocked 440 military promotions for 10 months! Outstanding!"

zeroisanumber.bsky.social•25 days ago

His brain is literally just a football.

janwhitesell.bsky.social•25 days ago

Correct! Pigskin on the outside, stale air on the inside.

trypectopah.bsky.social•25 days ago

Cotton blocked an Obama ambassador UNTIL SHE DIED just to spite him - that’s the bar, no ambassadors, no votes for cabinet members, no cooperation whatsoever

rubyinwolfland00.bsky.social•25 days ago

I know !! Like why can’t Dems figure out these loopholes and exploit them like these dumbfucks have been doing for a decade

rubyinwolfland00.bsky.social•25 days ago

💯💯💯

mindylouwho.bsky.social•25 days ago

YES!!!

woltz.bsky.social•25 days ago

I might quibble with the designation dumbest. We have one named Markwayne.

iambbq.bsky.social•25 days ago

all that is needed to prevent evil is for good men to do nothing, when an imbecile orders them to do evil things

mattbarger.bsky.social•24 days ago

When they go dumb, we go dumberer

thegopisevil.bsky.social•25 days ago

I’d say he’s even dumber than most of the dead ones too.

kawotter.bsky.social•25 days ago

They would need a spine for that, though.

marksarvas.bsky.social•25 days ago

No stones.

tokillamockingbird.bsky.social•25 days ago

I won’t defend Tuberville’s intelligence but it’s hard not to shout out Ronny Jackson as a contender for dumbest. Maybe separate categories for Senate and House?
