Still, Tuberville was adamant that there had been something foul-smelling at play. “I don’t think they’d arrest people just to be arrested,” he told me. HAHAHA, of course, Tommy, bringing charges against people for no reason is something no one in this administration would ever consider. Perish the thought. 🙄
I've been selling stuff for almost 50 years. When somebody does a job like this there's ALWAYS a warranty clause in the agreement for defects for a given time, typically a year. Seeing how this didn't make it past 90 days before it all started coming apart, WTF are we PAYING FOR IT TWICE?
Yes, A neighbor and donor, one who collaborated with Trump by making a big contribution to the phony benefit show for veterans Trump staged to compete with the presidential debate he boycotted.
Wouldn't his insistence that there was vandalism negate the warranty, if he got one? I'm not saying that's the only reason he’s spreading that lie, but protecting his cartoon villain donors is likely a factor.
Perhaps. I wonder what it was like getting warranty work done on a multi-million dollar TrumpTowers Condo? I bet he had an entire schtick set up for shoving that off to the buyer.
If you’d care to be a little more aggravated. Green Water also had a sole source contract to do water decontamination in the Tijuana River Valley which constantly has sewage overflows from Tijuana. The river forms the International Border between San Diego/Imperial Beach and Mexico. It's an enormous health hazard long before it flows out to sea. Fecal contaminants and all the grim nonsense you’d expect. JJ Cafone or whatever his name is put “microbubblers” in that raging shit show and strangely enough it’s still a shit show. It’s almost like the guy’s a complete felonious fraud.
Without knowing or understanding, Mike Lee is by far the biggest congressional enemy of healthy rural economies, especially in the West. Tourism and outdoor recreation of all sorts drive these economies, noticeably in counties that have access to protected lands, like national parks, national monuments, designated wilderness & other protected areas, larger sized state parks, natural features, and federal pubic lands in general (source: Headwaters Economics, Bozeman MT).
The traditional extractive industries like mining, oil & gas, logging, along with livestock grazing, don't provide the amount of well paying jobs that tourism & recreation provide. I recall a comment some years ago about the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument made by an outfitter based in nearby Boulder, Utah: "the Monument isn't part of our economy. It IS our economy."
I loved the comment that Republicans forget about conservative policies when in power. Reagan blew up the Federal Debt when he expanded the military. Talked about a balanced budget yet never sent one to Congress. Bush 43 took the surplus that was earmarked to paying down the debt, and gave most of it to the wealthiest Americans, then engaged us in two wars which were never in the budgets. Felon Trump put $4t into the National Debt in 4 years, the first since anyone was keeping track, and now he’s s brought the debt up to $40t and he has 2.5 years to go. Selective amnesia. Goes away when Democrats are in office so the Republicans, ever the victims, can complain about those social programs.
Coach Tuberville must have forgotten these parts of Alabama history regarding wrongful arrest:
The Scottsboro Boys (1931): Nine Black teenagers were falsely accused of raping two white women in Alabama. Despite contradictory medical evidence and an accuser's retraction, they faced sham trials by all-white juries and decades in prison. This landmark case led to major U.S. Supreme Court rulings on defendants' right to counsel and the illegality of excluding Black citizens from juries.
Walter "Johnny D" McMillian (1987): A Black man was falsely convicted of capital murder and spent 15 months on death row before his trial. He was sentenced to life without parole after the prosecution illegally suppressed evidence and pressured witnesses to lie. He was fully exonerated in 1993.
As a relatively young man, you offer us the prose and insights that remind me of the political commentators of my youth, from whom I learned in the 1970s.
As we'd say in those times --- Keep on keeping on!
Huh, I did not expect basic pool maintenance to be such a major qualification for whether or not somebody is fit for the office of the President of the United States.
I wouldn’t put stock in anything Tommy (I live in Florida but represent Alabama in the senate) says. His qualifications? Coach. The south considers coaches to be gods so I guess they don’t care if he doesn’t live where he says he lives. If Alabama elects him as governor, they will certify how ignorant they are. But then he will be out of the senate, and that’s a good thing for the rest of us.
I am so angry at the Republican Congress and particularly at Tubberville, Graham, Johnson and the like. Guillotine angry. THEY are the ones who should be jailed for their corruption - stealing tax payer dollars and spreading corrupt lies. I hope they rot in hell with their pedophile leader. Damn you ALL.
Thats the funny part. Democrats spend less than Republicans always. The difference is the Democrats spend money to benefit citizens . The Republicans spend money on helping cronies and some big, old, fat guy who throws temper tantrums like a 3 year old.
This Congress-obsessed single supports newsletter dating! Honestly, pulling any random Bulwark reader out of a hat would probably result in a better relationship than Tinder.
Mum from that asshat Elon Musk and his DOGE bros. Fuck every single last one of the people who are enabling this bullshit. They know better. They know better, and they’ve made the conscious decision that their own interests are more important than that of the country. Fuck them all.

This guy seems way too dumb to have been a college football coach. But his IQ aligns perfectly with the median Repub politician.
A thousand “likes”!!!

It's not their intelligence or even their ignorance. It's their morals and patriotism and their lack thereof.
Tuberville's an idiot.
The only Senator who couldn’t name the three branches of the federal government. 🙄
are we sure he's the only one ???
The only one dumb enough to admit it, at any rate.
Well, in one respect Tommy T was right. But that foul smell was emissions from the Oval Office.

I believe the contractor is a friend of Trump's. Isn't 14 million dollars a lot of money for painting a pool?

His "insistence" means nothing without evidence

Oh, my bad, I guess we all knew that part.
They might have nullified the warranty if the damage is caused by "vandals." The karma!

I loved it too, except it's so very frustrating that Rs keep winning the battle around "which party is better on fiscal policies." gaaaaaaah!!!!!
Some - okay, too many - people are slow learners. :-/
And there is a fool who voted for Felon Trump because of his good business sense in “The Apprentice!” Can’t make these things up!
No they are willfully stupid.
You are so correct!

Plenty more where those came from:

Why would he know Alabama history? He's from Arkansas and lives in Florida.
Get the aloe out because that is an epic BURN!
Joe,
As a relatively young man, you offer us the prose and insights that remind me of the political commentators of my youth, from whom I learned in the 1970s.
As we'd say in those times --- Keep on keeping on!
Huh, I did not expect basic pool maintenance to be such a major qualification for whether or not somebody is fit for the office of the President of the United States.
I thought Trumpelstein would have the Best Pools. Guess not.
Trump don’t swim. It makes his coating run.
I think watching him swim would make our eyes melt..
It’s way more than these eyes could withstand….
I’ve seen him ion Tennis Whites - I’ll pass on swim trunks. We’d all have to put our eyes out at a Speedo
That is the truth!
I wouldn’t put stock in anything Tommy (I live in Florida but represent Alabama in the senate) says. His qualifications? Coach. The south considers coaches to be gods so I guess they don’t care if he doesn’t live where he says he lives. If Alabama elects him as governor, they will certify how ignorant they are. But then he will be out of the senate, and that’s a good thing for the rest of us.
We just need the good coaches to run against the stupid coaches. The Democrats spent years trying to get Dean Smith to run against Jessie Helms in NC.
I am so angry at the Republican Congress and particularly at Tubberville, Graham, Johnson and the like. Guillotine angry. THEY are the ones who should be jailed for their corruption - stealing tax payer dollars and spreading corrupt lies. I hope they rot in hell with their pedophile leader. Damn you ALL.
When Republicans are in charge, they spend like drunken Democrats!
Thats the funny part. Democrats spend less than Republicans always. The difference is the Democrats spend money to benefit citizens . The Republicans spend money on helping cronies and some big, old, fat guy who throws temper tantrums like a 3 year old.
Funny the made up vandals need to go to jail, the J6 vandals need our tax payer dollars go figure
Tubberville: “The people, they need to be arrested and jailed and throw the key away,” he said.
Life Imprisonment for imaginary vandals!
What a total sadistic asshole.
This Congress-obsessed single supports newsletter dating! Honestly, pulling any random Bulwark reader out of a hat would probably result in a better relationship than Tinder.
I concur with those odds!
lol
Joe pertitone standing up with the truth, thanks
Mum from that asshat Elon Musk and his DOGE bros. Fuck every single last one of the people who are enabling this bullshit. They know better. They know better, and they’ve made the conscious decision that their own interests are more important than that of the country. Fuck them all.
I’ve long thought it’d be great to meet guys with a similar political outlook, so I’ll gladly participate in a Bulwark singles thing.
