Tuberville Gets Ripped A New One For Saying ‘Inner City’ Teachers May Not Be Able To ‘Read And Write’

Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville has long been known as a bigoted and idiotic piece of human waste, but comments he made during an appearance on Donald Trump Jr’s “Triggered” podcast are drawing almost universal criticism across the political spectrum.

During a discussion of education, Tuberville remarked, “The Covid really brought it out how bad our schools are and how bad our teachers are, in the inner city. Most of them in the inner city, I don’t know how they got degrees.”

He then added:

“I don’t know whether they can read and write. And they want a raise. They want less time to work, less time in school. It’s just, we’ve ruined work ethic in this country. We don’t work at it anymore. We push an easy life.”

Tuberville also let loose with this morsel of profound personal ignorance:

“If you can’t read and if you can’t write, you can’t live in a country like this and not have somebody help you make it through life, which is what a lot of this government wants.”

Keep in mind that before the state of Alabama elected him to the Senate, Tuberville was a college football coach. It’s safe to say he probably had some players who couldn’t read or write and needed help, too, but that’s OK because they had the athletic ability he needed to exploit in order to justify his salary, which was in the millions.

Oh, and it’s also instructive to know the following about the state of Alabama: It’s ranked 46th among the 50 states when it comes to its educational system. Kind of makes you wonder if more than a few of Tuberville’s constituents are also deficient when it comes to reading and writing skills.

One good thing did come from Tuberville’s bigoted remarks: The social media whupping he took.

Expelled Tennessee Legislators Will Likely Be Reappointed To Their Seats In Coming Days: Report

Reps. Justin Jones, D-Nashville, and Justin Pearson, D-Memphis, who were removed by Republicans in the Tennessee House of Representatives, are likely headed back to their old seats in the coming weeks thanks to local party boards that decide who will hold the positions until a special election can be held.

According to The Tennessee Lookout:

Jones and Pearson’s removal is likely temporary, as local government bodies choose who fills the now open seats. Nothing stops the Metro Nashville Council or Shelby County Commission from reappointing either man to fill the vacancies until special elections later this year.

The Metro Council is nonpartisan, but a majority of members have already said they will reappoint Jones at a special called meeting announced late Thursday to take place next week. The Shelby County Commission has a Democratic majority and is expected to do something similar.

Jones and Pearson would have to run in the special election if they are appointed temporarily, and both have indicted they intend to do exactly that.

The two men were expelled by Republicans for daring to hold a protest on the House floor highlighting the need for sensible gun control legislation in the Volunteer State. Interestingly, Rep. Gloria Johnson, D-Knoxville was not removed. Jones and Pearson are both black, while Johnson is white.

During Thursday’s speeches on expulsion, Jones accused Republicans of targeting him and Pearson due to the color of their skin.

“The state in which the Klu Klux Klan was founded is now trying to silence two black men, and one of the only white woman in this body that is a Democrat,” Jones said.

Twitter Lights Up MT Greene For Saying Black People Should Be ‘Proud’ Of Confederate Statues

Proving yet again that she has no real understanding of any issue of importance to the vast majority of Americans, Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is now telling black people in the United States that they should be “proud” whenever they see a statue or monument to the Confederacy.

Yes, a North Georgia cracker like MT Greene wants to tell others how to think and feel, and yet she rages like a wounded wild sow when someone suggests that she see things from a different perspective.

In a video she posted on social media, Greene remarks:

“If I were Black people today and I walked by one of those statues I would be so proud because I’d say look how far I have come in this country.”

Yes, by all means let’s keep the statues of men like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson who were traitors and declared war on the United States in direct violation of the Constitution for one reason: So they could continue to own other human beings and work them until they died without paying them a damn dime for their labor.

Let’s glorify and laud those who thought themselves superior to other human beings simply by the color of their skin. Is that what we want to hold up as what the United States stands for?

Of course, it should come as no surprise to anyone that Greene is cool with the rebels who attacked their own nation and caused a war that killed approximately 620,000 Americans. After all, she was perfectly fine with the domestic terrorists who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 and has repeatedly whined about the rioters who remain in prison for their horrific crimes on that terrible day.

It didn’t take long before others on Twitter reminded Marge that she really needs to shut the hell up and stop trying to turn traitors and insurrectionists into heroes.

Trump Once Defended Using The N-Word By Hinting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Might Have Said It

As the nation celebrates the life of the late civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., some comments made by disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump are once again making news and reinforcing what many of us have known for years: Trump is a bigoted asshole.

Think back to 2013. Food Network chef and host Paula Deen was outed after she admitted she had used the N-word as part of a legal deposition. At the time, Deen was also a judge for the Miss USA pageant, which was owned by none other than Donald Trump.

In an attempt to aid Deen, Trump fired off a series of tweets in which he defended her and also engaged in some big time whataboutism. Here’s the tweets:

“Paula Deen made a big mistake in using a forbidden word but must be given some credit fot admitting her mistake. She will be back!”

@ctobin22: @realDonaldTrump any advise for battered Paula dean? Her ship has been sinking ..” She must get back to work & stop apologizing!

@EDM___HEAD: @realDonaldTrump @EdandBev
lyin ass nigga” Why does Paula D get destroyed and you can use the “N” word so freely, asshole?

@dentstwitt: @EDM___HEAD@realDonaldTrump @EdandBev My question is did MLK Jr. use the ‘N’ word? No, only Paula Dean used it!

Of course, Trump’s last tweet is typical of those who claim to not be bigoted or racist in the least, very much like the failed ex-president did 2019 when he remarked:

“I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world.”

On this day dedicated to the memory of Dr. King and his use of nonviolence to overcome systematic racism in this country, it pays to remember that Donald Trump is a racist piece of shit and the worst president in U.S. history.

Kanye West Tells Alex Jones ‘I Like Hitler…Nazis Did Good Things’

During a Thursday appearance on InfoWars, rapper Kanye West went full Nazi, telling host Alex Jones that he likes Hitler and that the Nazis “did good things.”

Jones tried to give West an opportunity to walk back his previous anti-Semitic comments, remarking:

“That’s right, you’re not Hitler, you’re not a Nazi, you don’t deserve to be called that and demonized.”

But rather than take the chance Jones provided, West doubled down and happily went full Nazi.

Wearing a black mask that covered his entire head and face, West told Jones:

“Well, I see good things about Hitler, also. I love everyone. The Jewish people are not going to tell me, you know, you can love us and you can love what we’re doing to you with the contracts and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography.”

West continued to laud Hitler and the Nazis.

“But this guy that invented highways and invented the very microphone that I use as a musician. You can’t say out loud that this person never did anything good and I’m done with that, I’m done with the classifications, and every human being has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”

 

Every human being has value? No. Hitler had no value whatsoever. Neither did Josef Stalin or Pol Pot. Anyone who kills others humans and engages in outright genocide is worthless and only brings hatred and pain into the world.

West has also been hanging out with failed, one-term former president Donald Trump lately, paying a visit to the disgraced ex-president at his Mar-a-Lago estate recently. That alone should disqualify the Donald from ever holding elected office again.

Kanye West is a disgusting sack of shit. He deserves to be shunned by all of humanity.
