B-Man Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 I don’t know about you, but I am sick of Republicans always buckling to the absurd demands of the Left. Every time there is a budget dispute and talks go down to the wire the MSM tells us that it is the Republicans’ fault–as if the default should always be that the Democrats get their way. A government “shutdown?” It’s because Republicans didn’t cave. A debt ceiling showdown? Republicans should just let Democrats get their way or the world will end. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The Democrats make ridiculous demands and Republicans are expected to cave in order to avoid disaster. The current cause du jour the MSM and the Democrats are claiming Republicans are being “extremist” about is the new Pentagon policy that pays for female servicemembers to travel to states that have permissive abortion laws from states that are more restrictive. The policy makes the taxpayer the travel agent and paymaster for women seeking elective abortions, and that is a radical shift in policy that the Biden Administration is taking without Congressional approval. Senator Tommy Tuberville has decided to fight it and has chosen a very senatorial way to do that, refuse to vote yes on a unanimous consent request. Unanimous consent is a mechanism through which the Senate can get around the normal rules of the Senate to approve an uncontroversial measure. No need for debate or votes. Everybody simply agrees to something. Lots of things are done through unanimous consent in order to get the little stuff out of the way. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/09/07/stand-strong-senator-tuberville-n576241
B-Man Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) Tommy Tuberville Giving Hill Republicans a Lesson in How to Win the Budget Battle Against the Swamp BY MARK TAPSCOTT Pay attention, Senate and House Republicans, because Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) is conducting a seminar on how to gain major reforms that are bitterly opposed on a “bipartisan” basis by The Swamp. On February 17, the formerly obscure freshman Republican senator and past Auburn University football coach announced that he was placing holds on hundreds of military promotions and appointments. Tuberville vowed not to back off his holds until President Joe Biden reverses his policy that the Department of Defense (DOD) would pay for certain expenses incurred by members of the military who must travel to a different state from where they are based to obtain abortions. The Biden policy is an explicit violation of the long-standing Hyde Amendment, which was adopted with bipartisan support decades ago and which remains in force now, barring federal tax dollars from being used to pay for abortions. Tuberville insisted he would not change his position until Biden complies with the law. Nobody in the mainstream media paid much attention at the outset, likely thinking Tuberville was merely grandstanding to make a messaging point and that, as Republicans so often do, he would back off when the rhetorical and political heat started being applied. But then came April when Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) sought to gain unanimous consent confirmation of a bunch of military promotions and appointments. Under the Senate’s unanimous consent rule, the promotions would be considered approved without a record vote unless one senator objected. Eyebrows were raised when Tuberville, true to his word, objected. The heat started being seriously ratcheted up by The Swamp in May when Biden announced his nomination of Air Force Gen. C.W. Brown, Jr. to succeed Gen. Mark Milley as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Again, Tuberville was true to his word in announcing that his hold applied to the Brown nomination. The list of appointments and promotions on hold was now stretching out towards the 200 mark. Senators shouldn’t play politics with our military its readiness or our military families.” In fact, the guy playing politics was Biden with his decision to defy the Hyde Amendment, the law that protected government neutrality on the most politically divisive issue in America, and the further reality was and remains that Tuberville’s hold doesn’t prevent the Senate from moving forward by holding on-the-record votes on whether to approve specific nominations. Doing that takes longer, to be sure, but the real problem for Senate leaders is that such votes force every senator to go on record one way or the other on Biden’s woke remodeling of the U.S. military. To this day and to the continued astonishment of The Swamp, Tuberville is still standing his ground, despite the growing intensity and vindictiveness of his critics, including being accused by the three military branch secretaries of aiding America’s international adversaries. Tuberville hasn’t yet achieved his goal, but nobody in the nation’s capital now doubts that the Alabama Republican must be dealt with on his own terms. He remains, to all appearances, unfazed by the personal attacks aimed his way. In other words, The Swamp’s leaders in both parties must soon make a decision, either agree to negotiate changes in the contested policy that Tuberville accepts or tie the Senate in confirmation molasses for months in order to get around him. Or tell DOD nobody gets promoted until further notice. The U.S. military will not grind to a halt because a bunch of one-stars don’t get star number two. https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/marktapscott/2023/09/08/tommy-tuberville-giving-hill-republicans-a-lesson-in-how-to-win-the-budget-battle-against-the-swamp-n1725592 Edited September 9, 2023 by B-Man

Andy1 Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 If a Dem senator pulled this stunt, MAGA would be screaming about how the Dems are hurting the military. It’s time for the pentagon to evaluate base realignment to states where their female enlisted members can get full healthcare. Bases don’t have to be located in these red states.

Given the nature of DC, we’re at the point where you have to question when someone accuses another politician of things like providing aid and comfort to our enemies. 1

It doesn’t ever occur to you that when you make a comparison about the other party screaming about the stunts you support, while screaming about stunts you don’t support…that you’re them? 1
