    The senator responsible for singlehandedly blockading all US military promotions for the better part of two years and doing everything to stymie normal military operations in the United States now comes out and OPENLY defends Putin.

    He was on the Russian payroll before, he’s on it now. Nothing at all has changed in that regard.

    The sole difference is that right now, Putin is pushing for Western acceptance, and thus his paid lackeys are being tasked with supporting him a bit more loudly. Tucker Carlson goes to Russia to get Putin’s story to Western viewers, and Tuberville does the same on the Senate floor.

    Every bit of it bought and paid for with Russian wealth.

    FUCK you, Tuberville traitor piece of shit.

    This guy is absolutely in Putin’s pocket. He spent months obstructing our military’s appointment is senior leaders and now he’s directly simping for Putin. He’s actively trying to make the US weaker and Russia stronger. He should be expelled and impeached so he can’t hold public office again.

    When will we start to investigate politicians and media figures for ties to our adversaries?

    It’s a fundamental national security concern and needs to be part of the security clearance program.

    Tommy Tuberville continues to prove he’s the stupidest person in the senate.

    The fact that he was elected because football and insists everyone in the senate call him Coach… just baffling.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Senator Tommy Tuberville, an Alabama Republican, has received harsh criticism online for defending Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired an interview that he did with Putin earlier in the week on his website on Thursday evening.

    "Last night’s @TuckerCarlson’s interview with Putin shows that Russia is open to a peace agreement, while it is DC warmongers who want to prolong the war.

    It is the Western side, and Ukraine is obviously a satellite state of the U.S…The current Ukrainian leadership [should] stop and come to a negotiating table, rescind this absurd decree.

    Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of MeidasTouch and a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, wrote: "Tuberville believes that Putin wants peace, and the United States wants war.

    In an X post on Saturday, which included photos of the aftermath of a fire at a Ukrainian home, Zelensky wrote, “Reality always speakers louder than any words.”


    The original article contains 576 words, the summary contains 152 words. Saved 74%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    The GOP and its conservative cohort are so sought up in hatred, they’ll support a world ending meteor if it hurts their perceived enemies.

    After repeatedly bashing someone’s face for not giving me their lunch money, I am now open to talks where they agree to give me tomorrow’s lunch money, as well.
