Sen. Markwayne Mullin blamed “political correctness” for the uproar over his attempt to fight a witness during a Senate hearing.
What sort of pathetic man-child have the people of Oklahoma sent to represent them?
ha, he is exactly what he represents in the conservative party.
One named Markwayne, apparently.
They elected an MMA guy to beat up people that disagree with them.
Probably should have elected an MMA fighter without a ticking vascular timebomb in his head then.
Now that’s what I call an American Hero

“I don’t think there was a single day that we were playing sports where we didn’t drop the gloves or, you know, have a brief interlude of, you know, throwing fists and it would be all be over,” Hannity said, asking Mullin when society had become so “woke” that fist-fights are no longer an acceptable solution to conflict.
Hannity is so full of shit, trying to act tough as always. Meanwhile, he STILL hasn’t been waterboarded like he said he would.
asking Mullin when society had become so “woke” that fist-fights are no longer an acceptable solution to conflict.
For most of us that happened in elementary school.
I remember when Mancow got waterboarded on the air. He completely changed his tune and said it was cruel. Even a broken clock is right twice per day I guess.
Yep. Waterboarding isn’t torture, but please please please please don’t waterboard me!!!
But god fucking forbid Fetterman wears a fucking hoodie.
That would give him an unfair advantage in a fight!
Tbf the hoodie has +3 STR
Mullin has been going on a media tour in the wake of the near-altercation. During an interview with Sean Hannity, the Fox News host reminisced to Mullin about his rough and tumble youth. “I don’t think there was a single day that we were playing sports where we didn’t drop the gloves or, you know, have a brief interlude of, you know, throwing fists and it would be all be over,”
“Emotionally stunted manchild” would have been more succinct.
He didn’t go a day without fighting as a kid? Wtf is wrong with him. That’s psychotic. I had maybe 2 or 3 fights during my entire childhood lol. Maybe he’s just an asshole
He’s lying, and playing that “back in my day we weren’t snowflakes like those liberals are today” card that plays well with fox news audiences.
Doesn’t have to be remotely true, just has to paint a picture that confirms the bias.
Of course when push came to shove to actually confront someone to protect people he hid like a little bitch behind the chairs…
…and now he was waiting for someone to hold him back from his bravado - it ended up being Bernie who couldn’t hold back a feisty kitten if he tried.
But it’s ok this guy learned how to act tough convincingly in wrestling - so he went on the media circus.
He’s playing the terrorist support card. He’s telling his dumbass supporters it’s okay to use violence against union members. And they will do it.
The next time teamsters are striking, see if one of those dumb fucks that love this guy doesn’t try and drive their car through them or do a mass shooting or stab a five year old fifty times.
These are Republicans and as they say, “we are all domestic terrorists.”

WTAF is the thought process here? Fight the witness. Hmmmmm
Cocaine is a powerful drug
Steroids and trt more likely.
Sorry but Urban Dictionary has no relevant entries for TRT
testosterone replacement therapy
So…gender-affirming hormone therapy?
They’ve both talked about having a mutual fight before, so this really isn’t anything new, this time it was just in person.
The incident ended with them agreeing to go get coffee together.
You’re giving the senator way too much credit. After Sanders got the Senator to sit his crybaby ass back down and act like an adult, the Teamster rep quipped that his idea of “settling this” would be discussing it over coffee like adults. The Senator then responded - flustered - that he’d do that, in an attempt to save face after having embarrassed himself. The teamster, sitting calmly and still smiling, said, “Yeah, sure, ok. Let’s grab coffee and discuss this,” is the most drippingly sarcastic tone ever uttered by man and still smiling, because he knew he won and made Senator Chucklefuck look like a total nutjob— who responded, btw, with, “Yeah, yeah… coffee.”
Senator Markwayne Gacy isn’t having coffee with anyone.
Meh, I thought the teamster guy came off as a scrub. Telling him to stand up and whatnot, then saying “wait, you want to fight?” in a fake-surprised voice.
He was winding up a prize d-bag, yes. But he was still being a punkass about it.
He’s a union guy through and through. I’m sure he’s seen worse at local teamster meetings
The Teamster dude was shit-talking the Senator the whole time. Of course he wasn’t going to fight him— it’s a Senate hearing, not a schoolyard, and they’re not children. Everyone (but Senator Jimbob, it seems) could hear how sarcastic he was being. (Edit: watch the video— it’s hilarious how he baits the Senator into his tantrum, but Bernie comes out as the real star just for acting like the grown-up in the room).
The Teamster guy baited the Senator into publicly embarrassing himself, and it worked. That’s why that Teamster dude was just sitting there and smiling the whole time; he was just egging that dickbag Senator on, and he kept falling for it until Sanders shut him down.

Might makes right.
My might makes me right.
This senator would beat anyone who disagrees or is critical of him. And worse yet, he sees nothing wrong with this idea. It’s abject danger to have him be the voice of constituents, he has no desire to improve society, but to inflict his will upon it.
I’m sure he would also be the first to complain if someone stronger beat him and wanted to play by their rules, too.
But isn’t that the American way?
It sorta is, but it shouldn’t be. So it’s worth mocking and critiquing every time it rears it’s ugly head.
Republicans shitting on the floor and demanding to be praised for it. You get no praise, fools… only shame and ridicule.
“If only daddy didn’t hold me back!”.
Pathetic middle school snowflake.
Even if violence was an acceptable form of conflict resolution, if you want to have a fist fight over twitter beef do it on your own time. Not while you’re actively performing your job that we the people pay you to do.

After a quick google, It appears that after 1902 was the point where the Senate got too woke to tolerate a fist fight.
Thomas Jefferson had enough of this shit in 1801. He wrote an entire manual about it.
Why does Markwayne hate the founding fathers?
Absolutely shocking, how could any true blue blooded American let someone be so civilized?!
He loves the founding fathers. The ones Republicans have told him about that loved Jesus and hated government and all taxes.
Is this Republican really bragging about being Bernie’s bitch?

I consider myself progressive thinking, but think about some things you said… freedom of religion of all people is fine to be admired that you allow people to make choices for themselves. I think this is similar to freedom of speech. However, just as you would probably tell someone that spewing hateful racist remarks is a negative behavior and that we are equal, you sort of have to do the same with religion too. I mean, I do think it is right to allow free speech and freedom of religion, but that doesn’t mean you have to give a bigot a microphone or a church tax exemptions. Yes you can build bridges, and advocate for kindness, but if you’re too scared to say as a progressive that most organized religion is not a healthy choice, then you may as well kiss your very own existence bye. You don’t survive in the wild by treating a tiger like a cuddly cat. Also, progressives at least in my mind do not riot. The people at the BLM protests and Floyd protests vandalizing things were not progressives. Progressives are mostly peaceful and it is the forward-thinking educational mindset that will allow you to change the world, not disrupting through chaos.
I don’t care what martial arts you’re mixing up, a teamster is gonna give you trouble.
Did you see that jaw on that teamster? Markwayne has gym muscles.
“We can be two consenting adults and do it right here.”
“Get your butt up”
“I bite. And I don’t care where I bite.”
Quite the Freudian word selection.
Poor guy thinks the only way it’s socially acceptable to touch another man in public is if it’s in the context of a fist fight.
He’s itching to fight everyone because he just can’t walk down Congress’s halls without being carried away by the allure of a testifying witness or a fellow Senator.
Can’t wait for the eventual tell all from his college roommate if he continues to have any time in the spotlight.
He knows the teamsters are sexy motherfuckers and it confused him emotionally.
Markwayne
The name says everything about this clown’s upbringing.

Conservatives lack humanity. They lack the capacity for empathy or kindness for kindess’ sake. For a conservative, everything is a transaction. If they show kindness or pretend to be empathetic, they feel they have done you a favor and you should be grateful for their kindness.
If a person shows kindness to a conservative, the conservative considers the kindness to be a weakness to exploit. If the person is not someone they wish to exploit, then they identify the kindess as a favor being done for them. A conservative cannot fathom kindness existing just for kindness’ sake.
When you interact with a conservative, understand that they do not see your life as valuable. They do not empathize with you as they are simply not capable of that. They see you only as a transaction.
Use caution when dealing with conservatives. They do not value humanity or living things the way a normal person does.
This latest batch of conservatives seem to dial this trait up to 11. Before, it was mostly a callous indifference. “Oh, you need this social program to survive and we are cutting it for budgetary reasons? Well, why aren’t you investing your money better? If you just invested your money better you’d be a millionaire by now even though your minimum wage job doesn’t pay enough for you to survive.”
Recently, though, they have gotten actively antagonistic to various people merely existing. “We need to shoot and kill these immigrants as they cross the border. Liberals should be rounded up and sent to prison. Globalists (aka Jews) should be killed. You disagree with me? Let’s fight! I’ll beat you up and then kill you!!!”
It’s really scary and these people need to never get anywhere near power.
