Tommy Tuberville erroneously thinks Joe Biden's inauguration could be pushed back due to COVID-19

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Does Tommy Tuberville need to retake his high school United States government class?

The freshman Alabama senator and former college football coach wondered to CBS 42 in Birmingham this week if President-Elect Joe Biden’s inauguration should be pushed back because of COVID-19.

We probably could have had a swearing-in and inauguration later after we got this virus behind us a little bit. Again, we’re talking about Washington, D.C.,” Tuberville said.

“This virus” that Tuberville refers to is, of course, COVID-19. But worldwide pandemic or not, the United States Constitution says that presidents are inaugurated on Jan. 20. There’s no provision in the Constitution to move the swearing in of a president back for whatever reason. Biden’s transfer into office can’t be moved without an amendment to the Constitution.

The CBS story noted that “it wasn’t clear if Tuberville was aware of that during the interview.”

Tuberville has a tuber for a brain.

1. Had to finally look him up. From some of his quotes, I was imagining Mr Haney from Green Acres. nt

11. I would have said Arnold the pig, (but Arnold was lovable).

2. The orange virus is about to be kettled and shipped to Florida. . . . nt

3. A$$hole

[fearnobush]

4. Goes to show anyone can run for office

I passed my sex harassment course at work. That qualifies me to run against my congressman Chris Smith who’s been there since the civil war.

5. Is he on dope?

Yea, lets leave Trump in place until Trump gets the hoax virus under control...... What a hell of a good idea!
Those tubers are between his ears.

6. You can not fix Stupid.

7. Tommy Tuberville also erroneously thinks that he's suited to be a US Senator.

All of his subsequent idiocy flows from that one initial miscalculation.

8. Thank God his father fought socialism in WWII

for us.

9. We can't get this virus behind us until Biden is inaugurated. It's a pickle i tell you

10. This guy just keeps on giving.

12. Maybe we could change Tommy's term to end Tuesday

[keithsw]

13. He's apparently

Trying to over take Gohmert as the dumbest man in Government. We had to vote in primaries and general elections during a pandemic, so you damn better believe we will have an inauguration

14. You could have made the "title" shorter......

"Tommy Tuberville erroneously thinks..."

[wishstar]

15. He must have missed the Trump message that Covid restrictions and mandates are bad

hasn't he seen all the Republicans running around Congress and WH with no masks and all catching Covid while trying desperately to get their Supreme Court Justice who they hoped would overturn election and processing all the last minute executive orders and pardons.

He should have been as vocal about postponing their massive mask deficient rally and march to attack the Capitol..

16. Probably the premise for the next DC attacks: They think they can delay the inevitable with violence

That's why the inauguration has to happen: To end this fantasy that violence can change potus.

17. Does Tuberville have CTE

or does he just have potatoes in his ears? God, what a dymshits. Someone needs to hand him a copy of the Constitution and stand there while he reads it OUT LOUD. Every single damn word. He then needs to be quizzed on what it says. If he can't tell them, he can't sit down. To make it easier for him, they could let him discuss the meaning of it between each section.

18. You could make a stronger case to move it up for the same reason

Joe is charging into battle with the virus, while Trump is AWOL.

19. "We probably could have a swearing-in and inauguration later after we got this virus behind us."

Subtext: "Meanwhile Trump would continue to hold office indefinitely.

20. See Steve Schmidt's thoughts...

"In an interview with the Alabama Daily News conducted shortly after his victory, Tuberville expounded on how he thinks the government operates.
"Our government wasn't set up for one group to have all three branches of government — wasn't set up that way," Tuberville said, adding: "You know, the House, the Senate, and the executive.""

Uh huh, unless all three are run by Republicans, then Tuberville's reaction is
