I'll always laugh at this, it fits everything
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.
They're pissing their pants.
"The poors are learning about socialism!"
This is what it's about. Thank you.

Ironically, this rhetoric from a politician should be an arrestable offense.
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.
This should be an impeachable offense for any elected official.
I agree! And since we're dreaming, we need a way for the People to directly impeach federal ~~employees~~ elected or appointed officials (edited). I'm so sick of witnessing impeachable offenses on a daily basis while our "representatives" sit on their thumbs, counting their bribes.

Stripping an American of rights and locking him up in a gulag?
Tuberville is un-American and I wish his voters knew or cared.

When politicians say things like that with no repercussions, that's when you should know you are no longer in a respectable democracy
Yea, any respectable democracy would have shut the city down with protests until this fuckwit steps down.
For the fuckests of sakes, you had a president who had to step down because he got a blowjob. Granted, that wasn't okay, but calling for imprisonment and possible torture of your political opponents because they give half a shit about international law is fucking insane.
Clinton did not step down because he got a blowjob. He did not step down at all, in fact.

Sure. If he actually has an arrest warrant out for him. WHICH HE DOESN'T. Do you know who does? BIBI!

Arrested for what, exactly? What fucking law?
Who is going to stand up to these people?
For being against Israel.
I understand.
What actual law?
The law that lil' ol' Tommy Tuberville came up with in his silly lil' brain.
God, he's such a fucking cretin. I absolutely loathe him.

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.

This is a nice case study about why democracies should never ever ever tolerate the existence of zones outside the rule of regular law. Guantanamo in this idiot's brain is a stand-in for an oubliette.
Another American Politician showing more care for Israel and Bibi than for his own constituents or country.
God we really, desperately need to root these people out of seats of power.
Core Features

Extreme Pride: People are taught to love their country above all else, often looking down on other groups.
No Freedom: The government uses police and military force to silence anyone who disagrees.
Strict Control: Businesses and daily life are heavily watched and run to match the goals of the state.

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.

Funny coming from a guy who should be hung.
Not to be a nitpicker, but its "hanged" not "hung". Hung is the past tense of hanging something up (Jimmy went and hung up his coat). The past tense of the execution is hanged (Jimmy was hanged at dawn in town square).
How is that not being a nitpicker? From the MW usage guide.
The distinction between hanged and hung is not an especially useful one (although a few commentators claim otherwise). It is, however, a simple one and certainly easy to remember. Therein lies its popularity. If you make a point of observing the distinction in your writing, you will not thereby become a better writer, but you will spare yourself the annoyance of being corrected for having done something that is not wrong.
They were used completely interchangeably for centuries and still are to some extent. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Checks out, since Guantanamo Bay is for people who can't be charged with anything.

This is the same cumstain who blocked military promotions to stick to the leftist. Go get Graham'ed
Isn't "thug" one of those far-right dogwhistles? Calling him "towelhead" would have been too on the nose
Tommy Tuberville sounds like a Stan Lee character that Spider-Man fights as a villain when he tries to go on holiday.

Tuberville is speaking about what he knows best, for he is the very definition of "thug." Must be feeling very threatened by Mamdani to be going this far overboard in his projection.
Sadly, this trend of someone saying an incredibly reasonable thing that is in line with modern civilization and a MAGAt dropping the amazing reply of calling them stupid without providing any evidence, counterargument, or any effort at all seems to be resonating with low information voters. Things are not looking good, gang.

I'm so tired of Petey Potatotown.
Nick Saban if you can hear me right now I have a favor to ask, I know YOU know Tommy Tuberville is dumber than a sackful of hammers, so please use the absurd level of influence you have over the state of Alabama to call for someone in Alabama to take care of him if you know what I’m saying.
Someone murdered a bunch of sentimentally valuable trees for you without your asking, they would jump at this opportunity

This fucktwat will do anything to distract from the fact that he's a moron and a person who committed election fraud.
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?
Tommy Tuberville can suck my nuts from the back.
Tommy Tuberville's smell test on who should be sent to gitmo:
- Trying to help the taxpayers
- Trying to suffer less in life
- Anyone who has ever looked at a rainbow flag
- Anyone committing crimes so heinous that Tuberville becomes scared that you'll uncover his fetishes
Getting threatened with gitmo by Tuberville means there's a 75% chance that you're pretty cool.
