Lol. So they think that former president Obama is running the Democrats, just like former president trump is running the Republicans
I'd call it projection if it wasn't so braindead.
I sort of wish Obama had more influence. He tried to tell Biden not to run in 2020, which definately would've been a better outcome even if the Dems coalesced around a different centrist.
Or, you know, just let Burnie have his fucking chance.
Yeah, they were never going to let that happen. They'd preferred Trump over Bernie. Would've been hilarious to see Chris Matthews freak out even more about Bernie death squads rounding people up and executing them though.
Sad because the people obviously preferred Bernie over Trump.
So you’re saying it’s his turn
He asked Biden not to run in 2016, and he didn't, then urged donors to support Hilary over Bernie. In 2020 he asked other candidates to drop out so Biden could run, and they did. I'd argue he has that influence you're longing for and it hasn't been that positive.
Biden running in 2020 was good. Would've been even better had he stuck to his word and not ran again this time
Biden was being pushed by a lot of insiders to run in 2016. He didn't because Beau had recently died of cancer.
Unlike Hunter, Beau wasn't a fuckup. He was the one who was supposed to be going places.
I want to live in the America the right-wing think exists.
A place where Christians are persecuted and WOKE runs everything? Yeah, that sounds pretty good!
To be fair it is true that Schumer and Pelosi are running the country. It's kind of their job being elected officials and all.
What a clownshow of a Senator. This guy is one of 100 people in the country that get to vote on whether bills become law. He held up Military promotions (so much for the GOP for supporting our Military!) for ages because he didn't want gays or abortion anywhere near the military. I'm honestly certain that if enrollment was better, he'd say no Blacks or Browns either. The man is menace. ~~Yet... keeps getting elected~~ Corrected!
He's only been elected once. Senators have 6 year terms. He was elected in 2020 and doesn't have to stand again until 2026
He needs to go back to teaching gym class.
What, and put young boys at risk?
He needs to be retired off to Happy Farms Retirement Homes™️
Is that where they make the Soylent green?
I dunno...but they'd likely reject him for quality standards. It's people, not trash.
Much like Gym Jordan
Wow. Clowns like this should not be in charge of anything.
I bet the Clintons feel left out :(
Y’know, they might be okay that a conspiracy finally doesn’t involve them
Tommy Tuberville is why you don’t vote in shit stain football coaches to leadership positions of importance.
Not Hillary? What is this country coming to? (/s)
Article also includes "along with [Secretary of State Antony] Blinken and [National Security Advisor Jake] Sullivan… They’ve all been making the decisions."
As well as "deep state".
So why is trump not in solitary yet then?
The SCOTUS has ruled that the presidents are now Kings.
Then Obama is a king as well.
Two of them are still in the current legislature, it is accurate to say they are among the 536 people running the country.
Proof that age opens the doors a prudent young mind keeps closed
Fucking get your story straight, soros is running shit. Right?
Soros still owes me a ton of money for all kinds of shit he's supposed to be bankrolling...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sen. Tommy Tuberville promoted a conspiracy theory that President Joe Biden is not in charge of the country.
Instead, he claimed, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and former president Barack Obama — along with “the Deep State” — are calling the shots.
“We’ve all known Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Obama’s been running the country, along with [Secretary of State Antony] Blinken and [National Security Advisor Jake] Sullivan… They’ve all been making the decisions.
Joe Biden hasn’t been making decisions… They’ve had total control, not the president,” the Alabama senator told host Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.
Tuberville is the Republican senator who single-handedly held up hundreds of military promotions for months — even over the objectives of some of his GOP colleagues — because he disagreed with the Pentagon’s policy of paying for military members’ travel to obtain abortion care.
When a news story made it seem like Biden’s White House specifically did not allow religious-themed Easter egg designs at its annual contest — while neglecting to note that, according to the American Egg Board, which supports the event, the language barring religious symbols from the designs has been in place for decades — Tuberville doubled-down on his claims, tweeting that the Democrats “are a Satanic cult.”
