"This was so cathartic to read. I think it perfectly expresses why so many people, including me, were enjoying Fetterman's hoodies and the overwrought, hypocritical reactions of the chamber's most corrupt members.

"Manchin’s behavior gets at the heart of things. The Senate is a profane and occasionally grotesque institution, concerned more with an esoteric sense of decorum than with human welfare. Most senators deserve contempt, no matter what they wear."

The year's worst senator.

December 28, 2023

As is our semi-regular custom, we herewith present the most appallingly dreadful US senator of the year just ending. And, of course, it's former Auburn football coach and current Alabama embarrassment Tommy Tuberville (pictured above straining to form a coherent thought). Tuberville began his political career in 2020 by getting himself elected to the US Senate as a Republican (natch). He seems to have successfully resisted learning much about government in the three years since.

But, then, he didn't know much to start with. On the campaign trail Coach Tuberville asserted,

Our government wasn't set up for one group to have all three branches of government. You know, the House, the Senate and the executive.

Things have just gone downhill from there. Weighing in on the jury verdict that found Donald Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll, the coach remarked, "It makes me want to vote for him twice." It's statements like these that cause him to be universally regarded as the dumbest man in the Senate.

Plus, he's also a racist! In an interview in May, Tuberville made this comment about Black inner-city teachers: "I don’t know how they got degrees. I don’t know whether they can read and write." Asked on Birmingham radio station WBHM whether he believed the military should allow in white nationalists, Tuberville said: “They call them that. I call them Americans.” And speaking of the military.

Tuberville earned nationwide scorn this past year by putting holds on Senate-confirmed promotions for hundreds of senior military officers, thereby thoroughly upsetting the chain of command, seriously disrupting military readiness and recklessly endangering nation security. Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations, said it would take two or three years to fix.

The Alabama senator's excuse was that his MAGA sensibilities were offended by the military's policy of paying expenses for women service members who must travel to obtain legal abortions. Also, he thinks there's too much "wokeism" in the military, as evidenced by “people doing poems on aircraft carriers.”

Finally, The Washington Post reports that Tuberville doesn't even live in the state he represents (a constitutional requirement), but rather "his home is actually a $3 million, 4,000-square-foot beach house he has lived in for nearly two decades in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.”

As if being racist, stupid and duplicitous weren't enough, Tommy Tuberville is also un-American. Did we mention he was one of eight Republican senators to vote against certifying President Biden's election victory? For all this, we bestow on him without reservation the 2023 title. And a Happy New Year to all our WoW readers.

He keeps repeating we need to have more kids and is then caught by surprise when the reporter explains that is the purpose of In Vitro Fertilization.

Alabama has decreed frozen embryos to be children and any that do not produce a child leads to everyone involved being prosecuted for murder. This is causing hospitals to stop performing IVF procedures.

Make no mistake, Republicans have declared war on women, science, education, marginalized people, and the future. Women and marginalized people are fleeing the deep red states in droves.

Stop the bill, sign as many petitions as possible, protest and help organize protests, mail and email representatives, bombard your reps and your government with demands to stop KOSA.

We won't let this pass, we won't.

Do everything you can, spread this message, to other platforms other than [tumblr].

To people with voices, to everyone, to stop it.

It will not pass with our collective effort.

Don't vote red, don't let any censorship pass. Stop KOSA

We must demand Republican senators stop blocking common sense gun legislation. They are owned by the NRA, this has to stop. 🤯🤬😢

Here’s a link to find your senators to let them know how you feel. This is madness.

Republicans want open borders. Their own rhetoric, not mine. Just like they did in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 when Trump was in office. It's all performance.

You want to never solve issues? Vote for the asinine fools in the Republican Party.

hey all

so in a more practical application of the "larp a republican if you're gonna call them" post that got huge, North Carolina is about to have abortion access slashed if nothing's done about it.

SB20 got passed and went up to Gov. Cooper who vetoed it, but there's very very slight veto-proof supermajority in the legislature. Unless at least one Republican breaks ranks the veto will be overridden.

I made a google doc to organize, and you don't have to be a North Carolinian to participate:

Even if you can't participate, please share. A lot of people might lose yet more of their rights very soon.
