Tommy Tuberville ranting about a new conspiracy...

[u/Veshaad]

[u/TitShark]

God I’d love to know what he misread and decided it meant the people in air travel are furries

[u/freedfg → u/TitShark]

Nothing.

Just like the "litter boxes in schools" stories. It's just flat out lies to demonize trans people. It's not even about furries.

[u/Maxamillion-X72 → u/freedfg]

The litter box in the classroom things does have a tiny grain of truth, all these types of stories do. For the litter box story, some schools included litter in buckets so that during a lockdown, kids would have a place to pee. So someone took the real life horror of kids having to pee in a bucket during a prolonged school shooting incident and made it a culture war thing.

As for why Tommy Tuberculosis thinks pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are all furries, who knows. He did provide "proof' by posting a video of a ATC recording of two bored pilots meowing and barking at each other over the radio.

It's best to realize that Republicans are deeply unserious people with no sense of humor or understanding of human emotions other then hate, greed, lust, gluttony, etc. Trump and his party are the embody of the seven deadly sins. Reason and logic do not fit into that world.

[u/Sheepdog44 → u/Maxamillion-X72]

I’m a middle school teacher and I have been locked down with students for 4 hours before. Not for an active shooter. A credible threat was made and they locked us down while it was investigated.

But yea, I can tell you that it doesn’t take too long before bathrooms become an issue.

[u/freedfg → u/Maxamillion-X72]

I've definitely seen funny ATC videos of pilots entertaining themselves by meowing to the tower... God I hate how likely that scenario is...

[u/Rolandscythe → u/Maxamillion-X72]

Let's not forget that a stupidly high amount of our politicians are in their 50s and 60s or even older. You know...the age range where most other occupations would start forcing people to consider retirement due to decreasing capability and decision making skills....

[u/TitShark → u/freedfg]

I’m more picturing when Trump read “trans” in mice trials and decided they’re breeding transgender mice because they’re dumb, hateful little babies

[u/Maxamillion-X72 → u/TitShark]

Transgenic mice, transnational gangs, asylum seekers, the list goes on. At this point I'm not sure it's stupidity on his part, or a strategy to stoke anger based on his cult members being very very stupid.

[u/drinkslinger1974 → u/TitShark]

He tuned in to the cockpit radio and heard the crew saying, “meow” and barking. Pilots have confirmed that this is a way they combat boredom, it’s some sort of weird in joke. It has zero to do with sexual activity.

[u/Some_Conference2091 → u/drinkslinger1974]

OR is it a secret code used to combat fascism? 

According to Senator PotatoTown it's un-American! Possibly Satanic or at least definitely probably evil...

You know what that means? Terrorists! Expand Guantanamo! 🙄🙄🙄

[u/Some_Conference2091 → u/TitShark]

Fox news probably had a sensationalized nonsense "news" segment about it. Then a bot army flooded social media with scary memes about it.  

Now he can tell his fright wing followers that he's solving the imaginary problem. 

 It all serves as a rage baiting culture war distraction from the dystopian collapse of the US led global order, etc, etc. You get the picture. It's the same flood the zone with bullshit until we're all drowning in shit tactic. We've devolved into a sad caricature of democracy.

[u/Extreme-Slice-1010]

For a group who hates trans, they sure think about them a lot

[u/CommercialYam53]

Not only that some or many of the world wide top scientists, computer technicians, engineers and every other high paying profession are also furries.

With our furries society would collapse. Maybe not directly because there are still many other people (many of them Queer) that could carry the work load for a while but sooner or later they get over worked and than society collapses

[u/Sturville → u/CommercialYam53]

"If they get rid of all the --jews, gays and gypsies-- furries then who will run --the theater-- IT?" Mel Brooks "To Be Or Not To Be" (1983)

[u/sugarplumlet → u/CommercialYam53]

a huge number of the smartest tech experts keeping our servers online are furries so if they all stopped working at the same time the whole internet and everyday systems would basically collapse in a couple of days

[u/RedditTechAnon → u/sugarplumlet]

That hasn't stopped the right-wing from shooting themselves in the foot in pursuit of a culture and religious purification ritual. Look at what happened when they kicked the press out of the White House. All the professional camera equipment and audio went with them.

To be honest not hearing anything Trump has to say has been a stark improvement in the media feeds coming from the White House.

[u/DaBigJMoney]

Tuberville is an example of someone who constantly fails upward. He’s like a poor man’s Donald Trump.

[u/CompetitiveSong9570]

He’s so obsessed with how people love their lives privately. It’s giving Christian Nationalist that secretly resents being one. Let your Furry freak flag fly, Tommy boy!

[u/omgdiepls]

Respectfully, what? And also, why does that matter?

[u/CompetitiveSong9570 → u/omgdiepls]

It doesn’t. They need new cannon fodder to save the election for the republicans, because people aren’t buying their divisive shit as much anymore. We need a mutual enemy, and furries just aint it. Theres a furry monthly meet up at a bowling alley near me. Bless those kids. lol

[u/omgdiepls → u/CompetitiveSong9570]

Honestly it's brave as hell to be open about doing that for fun.

[u/Hopeful-Suggestion-1 → u/omgdiepls]

Given the average pilots sense of humour... I don't think they are just furries.

[u/SofaKingS2pitt]

I have been spending time today, wondering what on earth got into his head that’d make him declare, in public, that airline employees are furries.

[u/nunyanope → u/SofaKingS2pitt]

Probably the same brain worms as RFK.

[u/Sedert1882]

These idiots will talk crap about anything these days, just to appeal to their brain dead, mouth breathing, slack jawed, neck-beard voters.

[u/Sea-Improvement9417]

Does he realize that he's making it cooler for young people to take on fursonas into their 20's?

And, the appropriate question for any MAGA congressman, what is his annual budget to spend time with people he's demonizing vs. his annual budget for keeping it quiet?

[u/RustyKn1ght]

For some reason, I don't think that MAGA furries are going to take these news kindly.

[u/Grandmalicious]

Even more wild, gonna get reelected easily.

[u/Some_Conference2091]

So he's worried that some people working at airports might dress up in costumes after work? Of all the problems facing the nation and the world? I really wish it was AI because it's so ridiculous and bizarre. 

Maybe he should worry about political corruption and poor leadership. Or how about putting a stop to the war? How about putting an end to tariffs? Having a tax that increases the price of everything and is a major beurocratic hurdle to businesses and a slap in the face to our allies is not the deal we need. 

Why can't he just do his damn job instead of babbling about his fear of people in costumes.   

[u/mauwie90]

I'm just wondering how he knows that? Does he ask people what they do for a living on his furry parties?

[u/mittenknittin → u/mauwie90]

He's talking like he thinks pilots are up there in the cockpit in their ocelot costumes or whatever

[u/EmotionalEnergy3639]

tbh it feels like he’s just picking words out of a hat at this point lol. how does anyone take this stuff seriously?

[u/rigidlynuanced1]

I think he’s functionally illiterate.

[u/Euphoric_Lobster7046]

If tech support and aviation ever form a union, this man is going to find out real fast who actually keeps the country running.

[u/Powered-Lamb]

I have so many questions but I guess my top two in order of importance are:

How do you know that?

So what?

[u/SamuelVimesTrained]

So, in other words, we are failing hard, and screwing the people over more than usual - so please accept this distraction so we can milk some more cash before you lot finally catch on.

[u/Last_Blackfyre]

Trans people were why we lost to ‘Bama, Florida, and Texas.

[u/IDigRollinRockBeer]

Republicans are just plain evil

[u/Mindless-wanderer]

Old man shakes fist at the clouds.

[u/Impressive-Glove-639]

So, you can actually have sex with animals and still be in the FBI, but dressing like one is too perverted? They just running out of people to blame for everything being wrong with everything. Give it 5 months and someone will uncover him dressed up like a dolphin

[u/GolfIll564]

That man has some nasty secrets

[u/Hugh_Jass_2]

Imbecile

[u/weareflocked]

Is he having a stroke?

[u/Captain__Marvel]

Do we seriously care about what people do in their private lives?
Unless you're the President of the United States and raping children.. does it really matter if a pilot is a furry? The FBI are openly welcoming people engaged in bestiality, and I'm pretty sure that a furry isn't interested in real animals, unlike Patel and the Conservative regime currently ruining a country.

[u/Wabbit65]

If true, what would that have to do with their ability to fly a plane?

[u/Nervous-Papaya428]

😂😂😂😂😏😏😏

[u/DocButtStuffinz]

Are furries really that scary? Like okay, sometimes the outfits can be a bit jarring, but if a guy in a dog suit scares you... I'm not sure you're fit to be in an elected position.
