🚨 UPDATE: Instead of doing his job, Donald Trump is back in Florida, wasting taxpayer dollars to golf with his loyal lapdog, Lindsey Graham.

Trump has now spent a staggering 47% of his presidency on vacation. The laziest "president" in U.S. history.

"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.

It's also a little bit funny that other people are calling the guy who shot a healthcare CEO with bullets that said "deny defend depose" and was carrying a manifesto about how corporate America is evil a "Nikki Haley Republican" or part of the "center right." I guess based on the fact that he went to an expensive private school was messing around in Hawaii pretending to develop a video game as work until recently? Like. This guy left a goodreads review about how the Unibomber was an "extreme political revolutionary." While also traveling around the world on the money his parents made off of real estate and owning a chain of senior rehabilitation facilities.

I think a lot of you are really uncomfortable with how common champagne socialism is and frankly I think a lot of this is projection. This guy is very obviously someone who considers themselves a leftist revolutionary, and yet everyone is kind of re-framing him as a "Nikki Haley Republican" because they're uncomfortable with acknowledging that far leftists are often very privileged and hypocritical people. I've been talking about this for a long time, but a lot of the left (at least on the internet) is quite in denial about the fact that a lot of their beliefs aren't widely shared by the working class. That often, the loudest voices in the movement are those belonging to the wealthy, who are at the end of the day cosplaying and are more interested in acting out heroic fantasies than improving life for the working class.

went to go early vote and the line sucked.

there's no line when you just go regular vote.

I'm never early voting again.

also it's really funny to me, my area is very blue so I feel a little bad for all the Republicans hanging out there trying to shove sample ballots into people's hands, but they're all like um, get those away from us.

that was me five minutes ago.

Contact your representatives, especially if you happen to live in a Red state

If you want Trump impeached, then you need to target the Republicans

Make their lives hell
