So this was at the bottom of the article where McConnell weighs in “this is why congress shouldn’t run for 5 weeks straight, things get weird.” Wtf, what about everyone else in the world that works 52 weeks straight. Just another example of how out of touch some representatives are.
What the fuck is going on in America.
Can you please not elect the school yard bully who possibly has an acquired brain injury from the time they were a cage fighter?
The problem is these people are voted in by states who comprise of residents who have brain injuries, misogynistic views, extremist ideals, and/or a myriad of other skewed thoughts.
So unfortunately we get stuck with the consequences of other state's resident's decisions
The real problem is over 50% of the voting age population just doesn't vote
And part of that problem is that the aforementioned group of people deliberately make it harder to vote so that it comes down to whoever they can get more outraged. And guess what kind of people get more outraged?
"Jerry Springer Goes To Congress" is what happened. Republican strategists know full well that most blue collar people who vote Republican are stupid, hateful, and eat this trashy shit up with a spoon. It's intentional.
Our school systems have failed us and we are finally seeing the results.
On top of that christian nationalists have taken over the republican party.
This is your daily reminder to vote responsibly.
American legislatures are surprisingly civil historically speaking when compared to other legislatures. We've had TWO incidents of legislative violence (Sumner slavery incident and 6 January incident). Meanwhile, in Britain, Parliament devolves into a shouting fest every week during Prime Minister's Questions and don't forget how happy Parliament was to send people they didn't like to the gallows in the past. The French legislature did the same.
Taiwan's legislature turns into a free-for-all fistfight whenever the government presents a controversial bill. Japan's National Diet members will literally eat the paper to prevent a bill's passage.
"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. 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. 😂
Republicans: All Trump is guilty of is a few mean tweets.
Also Republicans: If somebody tweets something mean about me, I will fucking kill them.
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.
Ever been to Oklahoma? They don't know the word shame
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.
"Then stand your butt up then," said Mullin.
"You stand your butt up," said O'Brien.
It's kind of funny to me that these grown men were about to have a fight in the middle of a congressional hearing over a mean tweet, but saying "ass" isn't appropriate.
They never would have fought
I watched the video and they both kept saying they would but wouldn't actually do it. Then both accused the other of being a thug/bully for wanting to fight but also a coward for not fighting.
Theyre the kids that act tough and pick fights in front of teachers knowing nothing can happen.
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.
I'm oddly disappointed the sentence didn't end with "with a steel chair"
So much little dick, snowflake, peaked in middle school energy coming from this guy, it's just absolutely sad.
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.
The senator has two first names... in his first name.
What are people expecting here?
Uduslly this type of toxic masculinity screams closet case to me.
Teamsters boss is right, the senator is a clown. Saying stupid things to get in the news.
Idiocracy was supposed to be an absurd comedy, not a suggestion!
Mullin needs to go back to his crappy plumbing company. Wasn't he the one hiding while his suposed buddies invaded the place a couple of years ago?
Should be immediate loss of position when you threaten to fight anyone in congress
Mullin might benefit from a little historical research on the activities of the Teamsters' union.
