Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville called for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be arrested and sent to the infamous American torture prison at Guantanamo Bay. Mamdani’s crime? Calling indicted alleged war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu an “architect of genocide,” responsible for a series of atrocities in the ongoing war on Gaza.
“Sooner or later,” Mamdani will “do something more stupid than what he’s done, where we will finally say enough is enough, go put the handcuffs on him … and send him to Gitmo,” Tuberville, a Republican, said, calling Mamdani a “thug.”
Guy from Alabama says some dumb shit. News at 11…
Alabama is the worst state in the union
He’s actually a Florida Man from Florida these days. He only pretends to be an Alabamian to hold down an Alabama Senate seat.
I’m really curious if he/they recognized the meme potential of this when they made it. They both seem pretty smart, so I think it has to be a consideration at least. Maybe it was the entire goal? Regardless, it’s perfect and I love seeing it every time.
I’ll always laugh at this, it fits everything
Ha ha go fuck yourself MAGAt moron.
Also pretty sure the entirety of NY would put up a fight over that if they tried.
Stripping an American of rights and locking him up in a gulag?
Tuberville is un-American and I wish his voters knew or cared.
They know. They approve because he’s hurting the ‘right people.’
Alabama is the worst state in the union, and Alabamians are the worst, look at who they voted for
They’re pissing their pants.
“The poors are learning about socialism!”
This is what it’s about. Thank you.
It’s not just socialism, it’s kindness and the exemplification of a civil servant actually seeking to serve the will of the people.
In many ways, we’re simply talking about the concept of a true republic here.
This is a rare vision of the America the founding fathers envisioned.
Can you name a socialist country that is doing well?
What kind of socialism are you referring to? That’s a pretty wide net you’re casting.
Social democracy (which is technically still capitalism)? Democratic socialism with decentralized authority? Anarchism? Union socialism?
Or are you just looking at examples of Stalinism, Maoism and Marxist-Leninist socialism? Libertarian socialism?
Do you realize the price of change is human life with any society? Capitalism has cost countless lives and the death toll is increasing.
These snowflakes are terrified of this guy.
If I spent my career pretending to be indignant at the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the government while cosplaying as someone trying to fix the problem, I’d also be scared of the guy who showed it’s not only possible to bring about positive change, but possible to do in less than one term.
A senator openly calls for arresting a mayor, without naming any crimes, since none were committed, and sending him to the illegal prison where only innocent people are sent and tortured for no reason other than guards’ enjoyment.
People like him belong in high security prisons, ideally far away from society. Assuming they won’t receive capital punishment.
I feel like we should have a list of all these unhinged politicians top donors and their addresses for situations like this.
tuberville needs to be more afraid
Needs to be shot.
Wait this was the guy who halted the promotion of a whole bunch of Pentagon personnel because he was mad that the military was covering abortions, right?

What does history teach us about stopping fascism?
I would take the last one… but it seems more the contrary these days
Edit: probably it wasn’t clear: I meant the business part. People are not influencing the state evidently
Fascism is heavily contradictory. Maybe Joe’ shop is watched carefully for making gay cakes, but WalMart will do whatever they want as long as they donate a ballroom every few years
Historical fascism wasn’t like that: big companies were watched more closely. Each director board of a large company needed to have at least one representative of the fascist party.
Of course, the question is what you do with that power. And there probably fascism fails the “evil test”
But in principle I think that business (especially big business) should serve the common interest (represented by the state) and not the other way around
Yeah, I know what you mean. Sadly, our fascism is a really, really stupid form based around a teenager’s fantasy of a dictatorship. Trump doesn’t care about the potential of large private corporations usurping the throne so he let’s then run free as long as they kiss the ring.
If this managed to extend to decades instead of years (and somehow Trump lived that long), it’d be such a predictable ending for him.
That doesnt sound very democratic of him
Headline Alabama politician doesn’t like brown skin color in any position of power or authority
Guess ol Tommy had to say something ridiculous to get back in the news. Probably had to go see the king and needed some recognition.
He should fall down more stairs.
He should fall down more stairs.
They’re so old and staying in office so long that falling on the stairs is a real possibility.
Potatotown isn’t that old. Just painfully stupid.
Tommy Tuberville can suck my nuts from the back.
