Tuberville, who’s singlehandedly blocked hundreds of military promotions in protest over the Pentagon’s abortion policies, said he’s not going to change his mind and doesn’t care that people aren’t being promoted.
After the US Supreme Court reversed decades of precedent in overturning its decision in the Roe v. Wade abortion access case in 2022, the Pentagon announced its plan to reimburse service members who need to travel out-of-state to receive abortion services.
Tuberville, a Republican senator out of Alabama, took exception to the decision and said he’d use his power to stymie any military nominations and promotions he could. Since February, he’s blocked more than 300 promotions.
At least he’s consistent with his party’s stance on hating both the military and the US
But Republicans praise the army, don’t they?
They praise bills they voted against during ribbon cutting ceremonies
Praise is different than support.
We’re talking about hate / do not hate
They hate them too, don’t forget how fast they turned on the police who arrested jan 6 insurgents
Is there a way for USA to have more than two political parties?
I think when you have two only it’s become unreliable to base any generalised assumption about a party member.
Only with ranked choice voting, otherwise the math our system forces on us makes it impossible. A successful third party will just devour one of the other two within a few years.
