So did everyone catch what transpired in Alabama when Tuberville topped Doug Jones?

Tuberville didn't take Jones' congratulatory phone call, didn't return it, then climbed on stage and told his political adversaries to "go to Hell and get a job."

I can't wait to see this guy prosecuted for insider trading or corruption. If anybody was tailor-made for such transgressions, it is Tuberville.

he won't be voting for medicare expansion in any form.

I'm going all in on Tuberville doing something stupid — he was an SEC football coach, so cheating is a thing he's had to do — and McConnell not being able to complete his full term so Andy Beshear can appoint Amy McGrath to his seat, throwing the Senate majority to Chuck Schumer and the tie-breaking vote to Kamala Harris.

Tuberville is a dirtbag. It's always been plainly obvious.

I'm an Auburn University alumnus and when he was hired as their football coach in the late '90s, I wasn't a fan of the hire. He had the aura of a used car salesman and the things I discovered about his background and time at Ol' Miss didn't engender me to him. The longer he was at Auburn, the more it proved my misgivings right.

Everything he exhibited since then, especially the financial shadiness, fit into my expectations. He's a lazy, greedy, ethically void, selfish piece of work.

Even the old timers are turning into massive assholes, like Lindsey Graham. This IS the Trump effect. Their dear leader allowed them to leave comity and decorum by the wayside. They're all liberated to be nasty, meanspirited, vindictive pieces of shit. Something they always longed to be, and can now let hang out freely.

He basically bragged to voters that he's closer to 45 than a French kiss, and told despicable lies about Jones.
