Tuberville is nothing but a rubber stamp for Republicans. And rubber stamps are not thinkers.

Trump and Biden both interrupted each other throughout the debate, but Trump did it more, and did it as the bully he is.

See recent postsFor Coach Tub, no thinking required
Has Tommy Tuberville ever had an original thought? It doesn’t sound like it. Coach Tub basically spews Republican talking points and keeps his mouth firmly locked onto Donald Trump. He disrespects Alabama voters so much that he thinks that’s all he needs to do to win a place in the U.S. Senate. Tuberville recently addressed … Continued

I grew up with hurricanes. For my first 11 years, my parents and I lived on the Texas Gulf Coast, near Beaumont. My father was transferred by the company he worked for, Texas Gulf Sulfur, to deep South Louisiana in 1967. We lived in Houma, in Terrebonne Parish, but Dad worked near Larose, in Lafourche … Continued

See recent postsThe bully-in-chief angling for a landslide — against himself
Donald Trump loves picking on Democratic Party-led cities where protests and unrest are regular or even nightly occurrences. We never hear Trump discuss Democratic-led cities that continue to have some protests but very little protest violence. Birmingham is one of those cities.

See recent postsA missed opportunity for the Tubs
I’ve been through the speakers’ schedule for the Republican National Convention, and nowhere can I find Tommy Tuberville on the agenda. Maybe I just missed it. Considering how this convention is going so far, though, Tuberville would be a natural. He loves Donald Trump, almost in an uncomfortable way. And this convention is profoundly sycophantic, … Continued

See recent postsThe mediocre coach is an outstanding coward
Tommy Tuberville is a coward. If he weren’t, he would debate U.S. Sen. Doug Jones. The problem with a debate, however, is that Tuberville has to know something about the Senate and government. All Tuberville, the once mediocre-at-best football coach at Auburn and other places, will do is the typical Republican response to anything Jones … Continued

This week, a little gumbo for your bowl. There’s a lot going on out there, even as Alabama reached a grim milestone. This week, the state’s confirmed COVID-19 cases crossed 100,000, with deaths rising to 1,821. Sadly, since I wrote that sentence Thursday, it’s likely we now have more than 101,000 cases and even more … Continued
