I'd seen it mentioned that Finebaum is flirting with the idea of running for the US Senate in Alabama. Give me a freaking break. He's delusional to think he could win. Regardless of which party you run with, you have to be at least somewhat likeable, and he's obviously not liked by most people. Talk about not reading the room.

I don't live in Alabama but he'd probably the last person I'd vote for if I was. Doofus.

I said the same thing about TT but I voted for him.

He recently bought a house in the Bham metro area.

We are becoming quite the laughing stock on the national stage in regards to political representation

The people trying to bash Tuberville as senator support the party of Jasmine Crockett and AOC lol. The level of embarrassment in the Democrat Party far exceeds anything the GOP has.

That being said...name recognition means alot in statewide races, but Finebaum would have 0 shot.

They’ve done far worse. AOC? Ilhan Omar? George Santos? Lauren Boebert? Zohran Mamdani?

Tommy Tuberville is absolutely irredeemable human garbage, and look at him.

Roy Moore just barely lost and he's a goddamn pedophile. And he'd win easily if he ran again today.

Barry Moore is a decent man and wouldn’t help us look insane creating the CFB trifecta with Tub-AJ-Finebaum.

Hopefully the voters back him.

Just because the other side has moronic grifters should not grant you the privilege to do the same thing. Tuberville is in Washington to help one thing and it ain't the State of Alabama.

Well you just described all politicians as a whole. But some a far worse than others.

Some… are worth tens of millions and some exceed even that after starting off with little.

Fair enough but at least Katie Britt was a student at UA when I went there. She may have her own selfish aims but I think someone who was born, raised, and educated in Alabama has a similar investment in the success of this state in all ways as I do.

Don't be so sure.

We have to do our part to remind people he is -absolutely- not a republican.

He's made a living doing exactly what all your favorite politicians have done - creating outrage and riding your emotions to clicks, votes, and millions of dollars.

90% of all politicians are shameless grifters. That goes for both parties. I can count on one hand politicians that I think have a bit of integrity. Most Congressmen/Senators are just awful people and are only interested in the grift and getting re-elected so they can continue the grift.

The fact that all efforts to stop insider trading keeps getting defeated should tell you all you need to know about how "honorable" most of these people in Congress are.

britt may be from alabama but she is openly corrupt. after she won her husband took a job with the lobbying firm fine geddie, who represents for example vulcan materials, all while britt is pushing through legislation for them in clear violation of senate code of conduct ethics rules.

she and her husband are as corrupt as they come, completely owned by a few corporations.

If you think that's as corrupt as they come you don't know much about politics. Not saying that's all above board, but that's not nearly as bad as you're making it out to be.
