Sen. Markwayne Mullin, a former MMA fighter, had challenged the president of the Teamsters union, Sean O’Brien, but Sanders shut them both down.
Teamsters boss is right, the senator is a clown. Saying stupid things to get in the news.
I wish that Obrien had handled this better rather than leaning into the macho chest-beating. He could’ve really made this guy look like even more of a doofus if he’d have just been like “Sorry, are you offering to fight me on the house floor right now? I’d like to speak to someone competent”.
“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!”
Yet Mullin cowardly hides under a row of seats during Jan 6.
Yeah he should have definitely stood his ground, unarmed, against an angry, violent and armed mob of lunatics. Like stfu you would do the exact same given the circumstance.
With a name like that, had better make sure he isn’t married to his cousin.
And the US takes another step towards devolving into an African third world nation…
and Idiocracy
Americans have been fighting each other in the Senate since the beginning. People used to cane each other in Congress.
The caning of Sumner. I know of that even as a EU citizen. But which only strengthens the point- the Republicans are reactionary to the point of reintroducing barbaric practices of the 18th hundreds.
Don’t put down African nations like we don’t have the CIA to keep things that way.
I know, I know. The simile gave a bad taste in my mouth, but it was only rhetorical. The point, I mean, not the taste.
Can some one fact check my random knowledge dumpster of a brain?
I feel like at some point I heard or read that “third world” referred to countries who did not take a side during the cold war. Is this accurate?
Technically the term third world has nothing to do with the developmental status of a country, but it happened to take on this second meaning because lower GDP countries tended to stay out of the conflict? The West and their friends were “first world” and Soviets and their comrades were “second world”?
It’s basically a bullshit term and shouldn’t be used, I only did for comedic and or rhetorical effect. But it has no academic use, if we let it rest at that. It’s little more than economic racism.
These republiQans lost they damned minds.

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. That’s where that country is headed.
At least he cared about his fellow Americans.
And had enough wisdom to realize he didn’t know everything and enlisted the smartest person available for assistance.
Good lord, I’d take Camacho over the increasingly likely alternative.
President Camacho saw his people in trouble, so he sought out the smartest man alive, and empowered that man to make real changes. This caused some unforseen consequences because of how comprehensively bad the situation had gotten, but upon seeing positive results they championed and promoted Not Sure.
These are politics so virtuous that they can only be fictional.
Mullin might benefit from a little historical research on the activities of the Teamsters’ union.
Step 1: Challenge a teamster to an honest round of fisticuffs.
Step 2: Mutually approach your opponent arms raised to protect your face.
Step 3: Wake up (potentially in the hospital) at least a fair fraction of an hour later.
Step 4: Find out, dazed and confused, that you were concussed right before the fight proper initiated from the bludgeoning of a baseball bat upon your skull by a second teamster.
Step 5: Resolve to never fuck around again.
True, you’re going to fight all of them, if you want to, or not.
‘nearly’
yawn
Abe Lincoln would have wrecked them
yeah I kinda wish we could bring Abe and Teddy Roosevelt back to whip the shit out of the GOP… their shame should know no bounds.
Abe would beat the lot of em bloody. But Teddy would probably ask what type of modern firearms we have nowadays and then proceed to shoot up congress.
I’m just saying (somewhat jokingly) banana republic. Please decent US people, stop this shit. it’s causing so much anxiety over the pond. I just can’t anymore.
Stay classy Oklahoma.
fuckin neanderthals
yeah, but Teamsters don’t show up to a fight without preparing, including having already dug the other guys grave.
Nah, we’s not like that no mores, kid! Come around back to this cornfield and we will talk about some things.
“You’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’ BUDDY!”
