Tuberville failed to mention that he’s personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.

    Ivy league? Ivy League doesn’t mean prestigious, and even if it did, it would not describe any of Tuberville’s institutions.

      More a reference to his inherited wealth and social stature as opposed to just his education and work background.

      I am heavily implying that the man himself is worth less than trash and he only has the job because of nepotism

        Dude, fuck you. That’s two things that I learn about Tuberville because you don’t know what words mean.

        Tuberville did not benefit from neopotism nor is he Ivy League.

        He’s a piece of shit apart from these buzzwords you’re misusing.

            I don’t know the word for phenomenon that anyone who achieves fame somehow has a shot in republican politics (Tuberville, Kari Lake, Mehmet Oz, the Obvious, etc.), but nepotism isn’t it.

            Maybe you’re not pissed that Kushner was on the federal payroll, but if you are, calling everything “nepotism” is playing into the hands of people who are trying to keep your mind spongy.
