Apart from this Alabama douche being an asshole, the concept of swearing on a book of fables needs to go away.
But, it's always funny to me when Christians and Muslims fight over their religions, it's like two 3 year olds arguing which power ranger is more powerful....
If he keeps to his Oath, he can swear on whatever book he wants.
Maybe that is why US politicians lie so much, the bible is the problem /s
Personally if I ever need to take an oath, I am doing it on a copy of the 7 tenets of the Satanic Temple.
That or Small Gods by Terry Pratchett.
Why do we talk about Alabama like it's a serious place?
Alabama is rated at the top for businesses to move in, because they openly fuck over their citizens. They're rated at the bottom 5 for quality of life and healthcare. 1 in 5 kids in Alabama live in poverty. They have the highest in infant mortality rate, higher than most countries.
Also high crime areas. Not to mention they continue to cut the budget for their environmental funding.
Alabama is pretty much a pro-business, anti-life state.
They are very proud but objectively...
Clearly Mamdani should have been sworn in on the John Adams Quran.
If Tuberville is against it, there's a near 100% change this is good for average working people and bad for billionares.
Tuberville is such a stereotypical redneck moron... Just looking into his eyes makes you feel like you're looking at a 15W light bulb in an empty fridge.
Can't believe that my senator is this fucking stupid. A walking stereotype. Hopefully he loses the race for governor. If he wins, he might even manage to be worse than Ivey.
Ive never lived in Alabama, but as a woman in the military who was around for the damage he did weaponizing a pro-life rhetoric, I'm so sorry for you.
I really dont believe he's dumb. I believe he's straight up evil and thats so much worse. I also hope he doesnt win governorship of Alabama. Good luck out there my friend!
Yeah. Pretty sure a decent chunk of the reason he won was because of his record as a fucking college football coach. Not sure how that was supposed to transfer over to skill in politics, but it's what the people wanted. Alabama is pretty backwards in most ways. He does seem rather evil, but he also seems rather unintelligent, don't think he's ever come up with his own talking point or dogwhistle.
I can definitely believe a senator from Alabama is this stupid.
Yes, enemy is inside the gates working a POTUS.
Tuberville, you've been here all along
LOL, what a stupid hick.
The enemy has been inside the gates since 2016. As if this year- it’s calling from inside the house.
Not the colored one, though. The white one.
Tuberville is trying to goad a violent MAGAt to try something.
I had a sociology teacher that is Muslim rant about (circa 2010) prejudices relating to how violent the text in the Quran is. Argued that the book should be re-written. However this was also a person who argued that schools should swap teachers and force them to grade each other’s test.
Then I took a class on religions in North America and learned that teacher had a history of getting Muslim students who they claimed learned more about their own faith practices in that class than before they had been enrolled.
