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!

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) threatened that there would be another Jan. 6 riot if Democrats did not pass a Republican-backed bill that would make it harder to vote.

Yeah, that sounds like Tuberville.

Tommy Tuberville should make like the late terrorist, Ashlii Babit, and fuck right off.

I’m tired of the misinformation and twisting of words.

According to the article the closest Tuber came to a threat was making the comment “…there will be Hell to pay.” His only mention of Jan 6 was him saying that was his first day.

If we’re going to call them out for their stupidity, let’s do it on what they actually say — not on hyperbole.

After saying Jan 6 was his first day he said that’s what’s going to happen if the Democrats don’t change the law to require citizens to bring their passports or birth certificates to vote. His party will tell voters that the results are untrustworthy if they don’t add this overlay for the first time in US history. It was absolutely a threat. Pass our legislation or there is hell to pay.

Shut up, Tommy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Use this speech as a reason to question him if anything happens on Jan 6th. I don’t want him prosecuted unfairly, but I think a good scare is in order.

These kinds of things will ramp up as we get closer to the election. An entire constituency of the USA is 100% convinced that any loss must mean a stolen election. This is uncharted territory, even compared to 2020.

Thanks for your legacy of domestic terrorism donald.

What a vile, worthless piece of trash he is.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Surely the FBI will investigate this threat right? Right?

Tuberville sounds like a town I'd never want to visit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I'd visit. Potatos are the joy of the vegetable world, and it's a shame they have their glory stained by this windbag.

Tess of Tuberville: a modern take on a classic.

[–] [email protected] 102 points 1 month ago (3 children)

That fits the legal definition of terrorism in the US

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

If he said this, yes. If you read more than the headline, you'll see he just said "there will be hell to pay". He's still a douchebag but it's not even vaguely a terroristic threat.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Report him to the fbi.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago

Also sedition, right?

Jackass holds up military promotions for over a year and still expects people to listen to him?

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 month ago

I'll take the hell to pay if Dems win the election over the living hell if they don't, thanks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

This? This is what you want to do with all that CFB goodwill?

And not just one set, all of the bawls.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Lick the bawl bowl clean, Tuberville!!

Sweet sweet Tommy you can go to hell.

[–] [email protected] 137 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I swear to your fucken god, Tommy, I will drive over there and teach your constituents to read if you dont shut the fuck up.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

Just get Nick Saban to run against him and he’ll move to Lubbock, Texas
