Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is blocking hundreds of military nominations, bemoaned the fact that the military is “struggling” to fill its personnel needs.

That burning anger you feel when reading about stuff like this, is partly the point. Your outrage is funny to them, and they can’t wait to unleash more contradiction and hypocrisy, just to watch you squirm.
I’m not saying to ignore them, or to become apathetic. People should just be aware of that aspect, so they’re not as easily toyed with by vile little men, like Tuberville. Ignore the trolls, look for the helpers, and cheer them on.
Apologies for the light digression, and rant. I typed that out as a reminder for myself, more than anything else. So tired of these clowns gumming up the works of every single thing they touch.
No, it’s good you mentioned, and not just for yourself but also for those of us easily annoyed! So, thank you. And even though after hearing it it’s not as if I didn’t understand it beforehand. But, I’ll probably still be easily annoyed moving forward, just the same. 🤷♂️
Thanks for this perspective. An old Navy Chief I worked with would give me the advice “don’t let them know what bothers you” I guess to avoid intentional ribbing from his shipmates or others, but it applies here too.
Regardless, it’s tough because it has consequences and is just one dumb issue to contend with out of the large stack.
I don’t think you’re wrong, but you’re missing the core issue.
He’s saying this because he has no morals, and it’s advantageous to him. He gets to sabotage the government and blame it on wokeness, he gets points with his base for both calling out the Dems and blocking access to reproductive control of the lower class, and he gets points with his faction for strengthening their position.
And forget hypocrisy, by doing something and accusing the Dems before they get a chance to react, he frames the truth as copium.
These people are inhuman. Republicans will embrace hypocrisy and do mental gymnastics to “own the libs”, and they’re laughing… But the far right politicians aren’t doing this for fun.
They’re doing it because if you position yourself correctly, destruction is extremely profitable. All but a fraction of the worth of a thing is destroyed, but a small group gets the value because they knew it was coming first (because they did it).
That’s what this is… Destroying our society bit by bit. And although it means things will be worse for everyone (including them), comparatively they can get a bigger slice of a smaller pie
