Sen. Markwayne Mullin, a former MMA fighter, had challenged the president of the Teamsters union, Sean O’Brien, but Sanders shut them both down.
MMA fighters are all loose cannons. You don’t just decide that your life’s calling is to knock the piss out of another man by any means necessary. That’s psycho shit. So is threatening violence on a union president. If only Republicans understood that hatred isn’t a political ideology and doesn’t cash checks.
I have limited experience but I had a former MMA champion as a customer and he had been childhood friends with one of my coworkers and he was super nice and respectful
They know their constituents eat it up. It’s theater. Thanks, Jerry Springer.
No, they are all already like that, and their constituents eat it up. It’s not a charade, they’re not playing 5D checkers or whatever, they’re literally cognitively challenged bullies and that is basically the whole Republican voting demographic.
It’s both.
And the US takes another step towards devolving into an African third world nation…
Don’t put down African nations like we don’t have the CIA to keep things that way.
and Idiocracy
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.
With a name like that, had better make sure he isn’t married to his cousin.
“Sir, this is a time; this is a place. You want to run your mouth? We can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here.”
- Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., stopped the altercation from happening, yelling at Mullin: “Stop it! No, no, sit down! You know, you’re a United States senator."
Markwayne was upset about a fuckin tweet. Shame on Oklahoma for voting him in. This is what you get from a MMA fighter, he tries to fight people. 😂
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., stopped the altercation from happening, yelling at Mullin: “Stop it! No, no, sit down! You know, you’re a United States senator."
Bernie is a treasure.
Can’t be the only person who read this in Bernie’s voice.
The entire episode devolved, with Mullin and O’Brien calling each other names not normally heard in committee hearings, but they did not get physical.
Sanders yelling at him was then followed by him sitting down while they just kept insulting each other. It’s like when your dog wants to fight another dog, and it obeys your order to sit, but still won’t stop barking aggressively,
Someone’s overcompensating. It would have been interesting to see Mullin and O’Brien side by side:
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. That’s where that country is headed.
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.
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.
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.
Can we please just have adults represent us. This buffoonery is embarrassing.
The adult broke it up.
I’m so thankful for Bernie. I have high hopes for AOC and his other prodigies.
I think you meant protégés. I agree with the sentiment, however.
Yes, autocorrect got me.
Almost got me as well. The only reason I said anything at all was the off chance it was a genuine misunderstanding of words. I figured better to say something here than let you go into a presentation and confidently use the wrong word.
1/3 of this country is buffoonery
Unfortunately it’s more then that…
It’s really not their vote just counts more
Best country in the world!
Make America a Third World Nation Again
The title makes it seem like Sanders ripped his shirt off and beat some ass. Which I would like to see, actually.
I, for one, would like Sanders’ shirt to stay precisely where it is.
You guys remember this country fought a war against itself, right?
I’m oddly disappointed the sentence didn’t end with “with a steel chair”
I was waiting for a meandering story ending with the Undertaker throwing mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table.
“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!”
Not a good idea to try to get psychical with the teamsters.
I’m so embarrassed for Oklahoma
