The man is clearly brain damaged:
“We hope that we can get this behind us soon, but it’s going to be here a while; I’ll tell you that right now,” Tuberville said. “I was at a WHO meeting in Munich this past weekend. We’ve got another strain coming; it’s called BA-1. It’s kind of like Omicron, but less than that, you get sick, but it’s not as lethal. It’s going to be here a while. We’ve just got to continue to fight it, but we’ve got to get back to work. We’ve got to get back to school. We’ve got to get back to church. We’ve got to get the federal government out of our lives and let the people of this country run their own lives.”
It’s called BA-2. It’s already here. And nobody knows what the next variant will do.
Tuberville spoke on the supply chain breakdown, claiming the lack of available truck drivers was primarily due to vaccine mandates. He further claimed there were over 100,000 available trucking jobs in the U.S.
The trucker shortage is long standing and has nothing to do with the vaccines.
“A lot of them are quitting because of vaccine mandates,” Tuberville said. “I hope it doesn’t get out of hand, but we’ve got truckers coming to D.C. I wouldn’t care if they shut down the government for about eight months until November because we’re in the minority right now. They do not want people telling them they got to take a shot, and I don’t blame them because you own your own body. It’s going to be a tough time for the next year if we don’t get the vaccine mandates under control, the mask mandates under control, our supply chain under control, and get people back to work.”
It’s certainly good that he hopes it “doesn’t get out of hand.”
Tuberville discussed the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine. He claims that a large part of Vladimir Putin’s desire for further annexation of Ukrainian land is due to the amount of farmland in Ukraine.
“He can’t feed his people,” Tuberville said. “It’s a communist country, so he can’t feed his people, so they need more farmland.”
Russia is not a communist country and they do not have food shortages. And seizing another country’s land is not legal in any case. Nazi Germany called this Lebensraum, but, of course, this moron wouldn’t know that.
Tuberville says that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has personally told him that Ukraine does not require “boots on the ground,” only that they need weapons and supplies.
Ok. He’s told everyone on the planet that.
“The number-one problem in this world is China,” Tuberville said. Their economy is past ours, their military is past ours, and they are getting ready to move just like Russia is moving across the world.
Apparently, it’s bad if China does it but it’s fine if Russia does it. Also, the Chinese economy is not bigger than the United States’.
“We’ve been sanctioning Russia since 2014 since they came into Crimea. Sanctions don’t help.
“We are getting ready to put sanctions on Russia, and every day, Joe Biden buys 500,000 barrels of oil from Russia. Now how in the hell can you put sanctions on somebody, and you’re buying stuff from him? We bought 232 million barrels of oil from Russia in Joe Biden’s first year.
“We have to get back to being oil independent.”
Russia supplies 7% of America’s oil imports. (Prices are set by the market.) And America was never energy independent. Trump lied about that. Surprise.
Tuberville supported the strengthening of the U.S military, and by dispensing with the “woke” prerogatives of the U.S. Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin.
“I’m tired of hearing about ‘we need to change our military to where they’re woke,’” Tuberville said. “To where they need to listen to the federal government, and we need to educate them on things that have nothing to do with the military.
“Secretary Austin, we need a killing machine, not that we want to kill anybody, but people know that we will kill them if they come here and if they mess with us.”
Right. We don’t want the military listening to the Federal Government. I guess we should put Alabama in charge of it.
This is the level of intelligence we have serving in the Republican Party these days. If Trump’s endorsees win in 2022 there will be a whole lot more like him.
