Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), who has held up more than 360 military promotions and created a stalemate that has consumed the Senate for months, claimed the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East were “created” by Democrats.
“They need to be worried about what’s going on in Ukraine, the Middle East, the wars that their side, the Democrats and Joe Biden, have created but you know, they want to circumvent the rules in the Senate,” Tuberville told Newsmax’s Bianca de la Garza on Friday.
Democrats are looking to use a standing order resolution to move more than 300 military nominees who have been stalled over Tuberville’s protest over the Department of Defense’s (DOD) abortion policies.
The resolution would allow the Senate to move the promotions through the end of 2024. It would first go through the Senate Rules Committee.
Tuberville is opposed to the DOD policy that pays for the travel expenses of service members who take leave to obtain abortions. Several members of the Republican conference support his protest.
Tuberville expressed concern that the resolution would take away the limited power granted to him in the minority in the Upper House.
“The only power you have in the minority is to be able to have holds on something to get the attention of the other side, whether its Republican or Democrat,” he said.

yep.
Tuberville is a lonely voice of reason in a world gone mad.
No mention of the written fact that Hitler attacked Russia because he thought all genetic slavs were non-Aryan untermench, and undeserving of existence. Politics had nothing to do with it.
And Thank you and good day to you sir.
Well, yeah!
For me one of the biggest surprises has been Sen. Tuberville.
The Senate need a lot more “outsiders” (Tuberville was a coach, Rand a doctor etc). It’s clearly the way forward

4th & goal - go for it tommy!
Wartime Presidents get re-elected!
Zelensky's predecessors were no more "democratically elected" than Biden was. They were Muskovite puppets who were angling to betray Ukraine back into being a slave state. Ukrainians rebelled. The USA supported them. Not doing so would have been a "Munich Moment".
Trump was peace through strenth.
Personally I’d be happy to see this lot of promotions held up until Doomsday. They are undoubtedly more of the left-leaning social-justice perfumed princes that Hussein selected to further undermine the competence of our officer corps.
Trump: Peace through strenth and diplomacy.
I hear this all the time. Yet it is impossible to say.
It’s no m,ore true than a fairy tale.
Biden just gave Palestine $100,000,000 before the invasion. But you’re right he is stupid.
Check
Dems thrive on chaos.
Doublecheck.
Indeed
Dont know about the Gaza claim, but his other claim holds water.
A true ding-a-ling.
