Tuberville failed to mention that he's personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.

Idiocracy timeline

[-] autotldr@lemmings.world 6 points 1 year ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville said in a recent interview that he believes the US currently has "the weakest military that we've had in probably a year in my lifetime."

Tuberville made his comments Monday evening after Newsmax's Eric Bolling mentioned the US military's spending on diversity training.

While Tuberville piled on President Joe Biden and his administration for what he considers to be a "self-inflicted" disaster, he didn't mention the outsized role effect he's had in 2023 on the nation's defense forces.

Following the Pentagon's decision to update its policies to allow service members to get reimbursed for out-of-state expenses for abortion care, Tuberville has singlehandedly prevented hundreds of military officers from getting promoted via a vote on the Senate floor.

Senate Republicans in recent weeks have repeatedly attempted to push through more individual votes on the chamber floor, only to be prevented more than 60 times by the former football coach.

Rick Scott, Josh Hawley, Mike Lee, and JD Vance, successfully lobbied Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to oppose the resolution.


The original article contains 383 words, the summary contains 171 words. Saved 55%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
