@nedhamson what kind of shit hole system allows one extremist Senator to endanger our national security? I thought the president is Commander In Chief ? WTF? Sen.Tuberville is more concerned about women's private reproductive body parts and controling women's lives, than the safety of our troops and country. He has to go .
Despite what so many are reporting, that is not what's happening, and it's not part of how the US system works.
It makes for a dramatic story that gets clicks, but it's just factually wrong.
The rules of the Senate generally allow a majority to move forward on anything if they want to, even to end a filibuster.
The only reason Tuberville is being covered like this is because the rest of the senators that we elected are supporting this block, letting it continue, instead of voting against him.
