During a nearly 20-minute speech filled with misinformation about transgender people and a fear-mongering call to bring back mental institutions as “a normal part of our society,” Tuberville claimed that furries “[tout] the fact that… many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community.” He did not provide any evidence as to where this information came from.
Then the came for the Furries?
Furries are so much worse than $6.50/gal diesel. Glad he’s on top of this.
i’d rather have a furry in the cockpit than a republicant in public office.
What if it’s a Republican furry in office?
Fire them, too!
Meanwhile, the FBI:
I don’t know about airline pilots, but they definitely have a significant presence in software development and network engineering. It’s probably unwise to provoke them on a public platform.

The FAA said “non-essential conversations” are prohibited below 10,000 feet.
You can bark into the microphone at 10,000 feet. Good to know!
Pilots have been meowing and making annoying broadcasts for decades. Just to say that the chances it’s a part of furry culture are very slim. Truckers will also be annoying on the radio. It’s a matter of the call of the void and someone thinking they’re funny and thinking it doesn’t cause any real harm (and it largely doesn’t, but you never know who will turn the radio off or need to broadcast an emergency and can’t).
I got a raptor check one time and someone else replied with a very convincing dinosaur noise.
That or there really was a Velociraptor on the other end of the line.
Probably a Utahraptor in disguise.
If a pilot has the confidence to wear a fur suit in the cockpit, I’ll feel safer than ever.
I would agree, but the practicalities of being able to control the plane in a fursuit would worry me. Otherwise, I give just about zero fucks about the pilot’s hobbies as long as one of them is flying safetly. heh

Personally, I’m more worried about the sheep fuckers being let in to the FBI now
And what is your problem with the Welsh exactly, sir?
Sir, the Scots would like a word with you - in private.
My impression is that generally in the UK, they give the Welsh that stereotype, whereas in the US, we attribute it to the Scots. So either works. :)
I’m a lot more worried about a geriatric who still goes by “Tommy”.
Wait till he hears about the furries running the internet.
“You shouldn’t care about money stealing pedophile incompetent republicans and the masked US-Gestapo, called ICE, kidnapping, raping and killing you poor people, be afraid about Furries and hate them for enjoying life.”
Always the same shit, just different scapegoats.
What even the fuck?
Are we gonna talk about all the bullshit the crazies were going on about when it came to “litter boxes in schools”?
These guys are just playing the hits now…the Sharia stuff, the red-baiting stuff, the transphobia, the furry stuff?
I am more scared of US Senators that are dumber than my cat.
He’s running for governor of alabama and needed something to get his name in the news so there’d be something to spin. He’s running against one of the prosecutors of the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing, and that sound bite is what his media team thought would be sufficient for the people of alabama.
“have you ever been to Disney land? Not me, that place is fucking terrifying. Chuck E Cheese? I literally shit myself and then felt proud for emulating our president.”
Another false Christian hating on their neighbors.
