"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.

All until the 6J

They will do everything to the end, and will not give up, but the more damage they do, the more difficult it will be for them in the future. TRUMP is only the begin.

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.

This is real. Stop sitting on the internet arguing with other people about celebrities. Who is who and all that bs. Ts is getting out of hand fr.

We’re taking multiple steps back in history. Everything your grandparents and great grandparents build is getting knocked down.

Mention these topics to your favs and get them to talk about it, yeah it maybe annoying but is getting scary out here and this shit will affect them too.

There is hundreds HUNDREDS of pages republicans have wrote that’s stripping minorities and women’s rights.

AMERICA HAS A FUCKING PROBLEM.

Sure, every single one of Trump's announced cabinet picks so far is (as expected) spectacularly terrible, but fear not, everyone. Susan Collins is here and she is Very Concerned.

UNITED STATES SENATOR DOESNT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHINA AND SINGAPORE

📹 U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) questions the CEO of TikTok U.S., Shou Zi Chew, a Singaporian national, about his nationality and affiliations with the "Chinese Communist Party," an entity that does not actually exist.

Chew repeatedly states his nationality and history as a Singaporian, having served in the military, and mentions his loyalty to his home country before Senator Cotton begins ranting about the events of Tiananmen Square in 1989.

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.
