The Senate moved closer to shutting down white nationalist, jug-eared moron Sen. Tommy "Dixie Dolt" Tuberville's hold on nearly 400 military promotions. The Senate Rules Committee agreed to a resolution that would approve all of the promotions, something Tuberville has blocked over the Pentagon's policy of reimbursing service members for travel out of state to receive reproductive rights care. The measure moves to the Senate floor, where at least 9 Republican votes are needed to pass. Uniformed members of the military have no say over the policy, which was promulgated by civilian political appointees.
Tuberville's reckless stand has created critical vacancies in the military command, and forced military families to put relocations and other plans on indefinite hold. On October 31, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Eric Smith was hospitalized after having a heart attack brought on by workloads that he took on because his assistant commandant has been blocked for promotion. Tuberville nonsensically brushed off Gen. Smith's workload complaint, comparing the workload to his coaching days at Auburn. Tuberville has never served one minute in uniform.
