During an interview on Fox Business Monday, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala, called for the military to act as security for former President Donald Trump in the wake of a second apparent assassination attempt.

“They’re trying to kill the only guy that has a chance to get this fixed,” Tuberville said. “And of course, President Biden- I don’t know who’s running our country but somebody needs to step to the plate and at least act like you care about a Republican candidate but they truly don’t. ... “They could care less. There needs to be SEAL teams, there needs to be military.”

Tuberville said “I don’t think there’s any doubt” there will be another attempt on Trump’s life before the November election.

“They’re going to do everything they possibly can to keep him out of office,” Tuberville added. “Look at all of the things they’ve already done and none of them have worked. The guy is ‘Teflon Don,’ but I am gonna tell you I’m worried about his family, I’m worried about him, I’m worried about the America we’ve grown up in.”

2. I'm conflicted... Is Tuberville the dumbest Senator, or is Ron Johnson?

Both are so galactically stupid that it's very hard to decide.

dumber by far than Trump. This, if true, would by necessity have to put him in contention for being the dumbest U.S. Senator. Hard to gauge.

and he should know that quite a few Americans don't care about shithole and praying that authorities will put him in a straitjacket and throw away the keys.

A castle with guarded parapets and a mote full of seals.
An iron dome force field with space lasers.
A cone of silence made from a Jello mold.
A tin of bullet proof cupcakes, chocolate filled with cream.
A new body to put his head on if things go wrong.
A ball gag stuffed in his mouth.
Handcuffs clamping him to the horn of a big rig.
Where was I? where am I.

9. "They" being disillusioned right wing white guys - right, Tuberville?

Since that's who keeps being found holding the weapons in these attempts...

FYI, Biden has trimmed down HIS security detail to beef up Trump's.

13. Isn't Tuberville the senator that held up military promotions and now he's calling for the SEALS to protect TSF?
