GOP senators’ late night effort to approve military nominations fails to overcome Tuberville and Lee hold
Republican Senators Tommy Tuberville and Mike Lee maintained the Alabama Republican’s hold on military nominations despite a group of Republican senators who attempted to push through nominations when they returned to the Senate floor in the wee hours of Thursday morning.
He still refuses to budge, even after Republicans were eviscerated on election day for abortion. They're going to keep getting hit for it until they can rein in true believers like Tuberville.
You're viewing a single thread.
inb4 Tuberville somehow goes down as one of the most successful anti-military/industrial politicians. And done so without any actual antiwar sentiment.
The exact same amount of money is being pumped into the military-industrial complex. Its still being spent. His actions are just preventing staff from being correctly promoted/paid, harming retention and readiness.
Making us worse at war while pouring the same amount of money into the war machine is just a recipe for more issues, not less.
I fail to see how that is not a net positive for pacifists. Any action against it is good? Is it not?
People being bad at war kills people that aren't supposed to be killed. That's not a good thing for anyone.
He's increasing the likelihood of armed conflict by doing this.
