'Even if the Defense Department’s site-selection process was politicized by Trump, the answer isn’t another political decision,' columnist WarOnDumb writes of the Biden administration's reported efforts to block Space Command's move to Alabama.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville has done a lot of dumb stuff lately, but losing Space Command was already in motion before he found the capitol restrooms. Kyle Whitmire’s newsletter, “Alabamafication” examines the outsized influence of this very strange state, taking aim at corruption, cruelty, incompetence and hypocrisy while also seeking out those righteous folks making their state and country better places for all.Don’t blame Tommy Tuberville for Alabama losing Space Command to Colorado.
But let’s be clear. There’s a much more plausible explanation. Alabama is a bright red Republican state. Colorado is a blue, Democratic state with purplish tendencies. The Biden Administration has every political reason to give Space Command to Colorado. It has nothing to lose by taking it from Alabama.But it was Trump who opened the way when he opened his mouth.. “I hope you know that. said they were looking for a home and I single-handedly said let’s go to Alabama. They wanted it.
Even if the Defense Department’s site-selection process was politicized by Trump, the answer isn’t another political decision. The answer is to start over.
