FURRIES

F. LoBuono

The accusations are so bizarre that they defy credibility, especially since they were presented without ANY supporting evidence whatsoever. AND they were made by a sitting US Senator.

During a recent press conference, Senator Tommy Tuberville (R – Alabama) claimed that the US aviation industry was being infiltrated by so-called “Furries.” For the uninitiated, “Furry Society” is a subculture of individuals who find satisfaction in wearing costumes and mimicking the behavior of their favorite animals. Although often associated with sexual fetishes, it is much broader than that with practioners often meeting in costume to commune and share in comradery. Of course, it is considered strange by many but also harmless by most. Think of it as to each, their own – no matter how odd.

Well, Senator Tuberville decided to try and make a federal case out of these accusations – literally. Without presenting any substantial evidence besides a recording of 2 pilots making animals noises to one another (without context) and a cryptic link to an “Aviation Furry Hookup” at a convention, he stated, “an ALARMING number of these DERANGED individuals are working in the airline industry.” Tuberville went on to ask, “would you be comfortable with a MENTALLY ILL FURRY being your pilot?”

REALLY?

With the United States facing daily challenges created by an Administration that appears tone deaf to the needs of its people, a US Senator from the great State of Alabama choose to focus his attention on fixing something that ain’t broken! With an unpopular, ill-planned, poorly executed war causing gas prices to soar to nearly $5/gal. and the resulting fall-out, Senator Tuberville chooses to fight “Furries.” Inflation is resulting in families struggling to feed themselves. Healthcare is out of control. ICE agents are shooting innocent people in the streets. There is almost a daily assault on our 1^st and 5^th Amendment rights. Yet, the good Senator has decided to “die on a ‘Furry’ hill.”

But this is typical of our current Administration and the idiocy it lavishes in. From RFK, to Hegseth, Patel, Miller, and The Big Guy himself, President Donald J. Trump, our government is rife with unqualified grifters whose only true skills lie in bilking the American people.

Unlike Senator Tuberville’s unsubstantiated accusations, the entire Trump family and virtually every one of the sycophants that surround him can be shown to have enriched themselves at the expense of the American people.

Furries my ass.

The really deranged people are the ones who continue to support a regime that revels in fleecing them. Yes, Mr. Trump’s popularity numbers are plummeting. But we will not be done until they are ZERO. Then, we can be rid of him and his entire entourage, including Mr. Tuberville.
