I mean, I think there should be folk songs written about Rand Paul's neighbor. But making me choose sides between Rand and Mar Kwayne is really unfair.
"Mullein" is the name of a plant, common in the United States, Europe, Asia, and other regions. The plant's name is pronounced like the surname of Two-names Mullen, current nominee to succeed Kristi Noem. One of the chief differences between the plant and the man is that the former is genuinely helpful and useful. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbascum_thapsus
I've been in some exercise classes where the hygiene of some of the participants became an issue, but MarkyMarkwayne's Bikini Boot Camp at the Y must have been exceptional. "The smell of war."
I haven't read the non-comments here yet, but I suspect someone has already posted that Fetterman voted for Mullin in the committee meeting. That means the final vote was 8-7 for Mullin - and now the vote goes to the Senate floor ( if the Republican leadership can find time to do so, instead of lollygagging over the sure-to-fail SAVE Act bill ).
The comments below. Bernie Sanders is not a coward. Bernie is advocating for civility! I wish that, like Ted Koppel used to have on Nightline, the chair had a kill switch for the mikes. Just mute Mullin and O’Brien, and let them do the RAW is WAR bit off the floors of Congress, where Markwayne the plumber doesn’t have immunity from libel.
I grew up in Michigan when Jimmy Hoffa and Frank Fitsimmons were running the Teamsters, and we learned not to piss off the Teamsters, cause that was challenging the Mafia. Detroit had a Mafia that you didn’t hear about, because there weren’t Mob wars like NYC or Chicago or Vegas. There was just smuggling at the Port of Detroit into Canada, Michigan, Chicago, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Drugs, prostitution, hijacked goods, you name it. And one year there were over 761 murders, A New World’s Record, and every night for two weeks another body part from another poor wise guy was found in a different dumpster. They wanted that one found. He was found. They wanted Jimmy Hoffa not found, and he wasn’t. They were building the Renaissance Center at the time, and everyone in Duh-troyt (not DEE-troit) knows that a construction firm put Jimmy’s body into the concrete early one morning and buried it 60 feet down.
We learned to speak with respect to our classmates with Italian last names, and to be polite to them at Mass. Maybe they weren’t connected (BS Cough), but why take a chance?
But Markwayne Mullin is talking to the President of the Brotherhood of Teamsters, fergawdsakes!, like dude has got a deathwish. Senator Paul is one thing, but Sean O’Brien is like Bumpy Wells and Robert Blake and Charles Bronson combined.
“That’s a nice plumbing business you got there. Be a shame if someone poured sand in your gas tanks and your buildings caught fire, now wouldn’t it? But accidents happen, don’t they? And it’s hard to prove from your security cameras when they stopped working all of a sudden all at once. It’s like someone knew where they were and took the batteries out. But you can’t prove anything, now can you?”
I mean, Mullin is going to get visited by Vinnie and Paulie with a couple of Al Kaline Louisville Sluggers, and find out what broken ribs feel like, and maybe then he won’t belittle Sean OB.
(OB looks tough, glasses and all. I wouldn’t want to get him PO’d.)
Secretary of Homeland Security or not. Ask Jack Kennedy or Jack Ruby how well the police and Secret Service worked out for them.
THANK YOU for the opening portrait of Mullin rolling his eyes up in his head looking for answers. He did this so much during the hearing, I had to ask Chat GPT if it signaled any sort of neurological disorder.
NYT: "The Senate Homeland Security Committee voted, 8 to 7, to send Mr. Mullin’s nomination to the full Senate with a favorable recommendation, with most Republicans and one Democrat voting to advance the nomination.
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the committee’s Republican chairman, defected from his party and voted in opposition. Mr. Mullin retained sufficient support on the committee, however, with the backing of Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, a Democrat."
Guy's so dumb he can't answer a total gimme of a question like that?
"Rand Paul is a total dick. There can be no doubt he initiated the confrontation through years of prior acts of being a total dick toward his neighbor."

His official classified mission was to get a donut.

Here is the full shot of Markwayne cowering on Jan 6. Note how many of his colleagues are between him and the door.

He had official classified training in 2015 and 2016 to achieve that level of cowardice.

Why the fuck does Schumer not yank Fetterman's committee appointments? You can't kick him out of the Senate but you can kick him off those committees.

Now I'm siding with Rand Paul? Truly this is the upside down.
Rand Paul is siding with Rand Paul. He hates Markwayne personally.
Rand Paul is siding with you.
Thats marginally more palatable.
So bad that even a tool like Rand Paul noticed!
It’s too bad that nobody gives a shit about Rand Paul’s opinion.
He's a bully, a liar, and he hates women. Perfect choice for the GOP to confurm.

Senator: Where have you been?
MarKwayne: TRAINING, SIR!
Senator: What kind of training?
MarKwayne: US NAAAVVVY SURVIVAL TRAINING, SIR!
DAT'S DAH FACT, JACK!
Dressing up in a sailor's uniform and going to the Blue Oyster does not count as survival training MarkwayneBillyBobBubbaJohn.

Fucking fetterman
Took the words right out of my mouth
Crazy knows crazy.
It was fun to watch dipshit Markwayne
Be at a loss to try to explain
Why Rand Paul's assault
Was his own damn fault
I hope Mullins' nom gets the drain
Guy's so dumb he can't answer a total gimme of a question like that?
"Rand Paul is a total dick. There can be no doubt he initiated the confrontation through years of prior acts of being a total dick toward his neighbor."
"All belt buckle, no wangerdongle."
All fitting, no pipe?
Whenever I read "Hon", I can't help but think that the entire government is an MLM.
