Markwaynebillybob, remember you’re Cherokee. Choosing Andrew Jackson as a role model is…interesting.

Mar Kwayne simply longs for the (pre women’s p.o.c.’s and “those people’s” rights days, when men ruled by threat and assault and murder, and everything was therefore better! Poor beset upon moron!

BTW, can we be rid of the notion that senators are just like house reps, and only represent the people of their state of origin? That’s…not a thing.

Andrew Jackson *spits* was a liar, a killer, a con man and an unmitigated asshole. If there were a Hell, he would be roasting there.

Reminds me a lot of the giant orange menace…

Someone needs to tell them that it’s 2023, and it’s okay if they just want to date each other. There is no need for all this performative chest thumping when we can all see quite clearly that they’re just dying to lay hands on each other (and not in the christian nationalist way they talk about on Sunday mornings).

Because the Wonkette comments section is my blog -

Whenever I think about MMA, I am reminded of the time I tried to make friends with this wonderful woman who was so funny and exuberant and we danced all night at a friend’s wedding and we were destined to be BFFs forever.

She invited me and my husband to her house, where we had dinner with her husband and , for some reason, watched an MMA fight. I had never seen MMA before and I really thought those two sweaty muscled guys should just kiss. Like, they were so into each other, I was sure they just needed to kiss deeply and begin a beautiful sexy life together. I may have shouted KISS KISS KISSSS at the tv. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We were not invited back, sadly.

The teamster guy played it great. Mark Wayne (no relation to the Duke) tells him to stand up. He knows that anybody who stood up in that circumstance would look like a complete tool. So he says, “You stand up.” Mark Wayne pops up automatically.

And now we laugh and point.

Ain't nothing in this universe more scared than a Teamster being threatened my a mealy-mouthed mediocre white man.

You saw fear in his eyes. Yeah, Markwayne, right.

The union boss and the senator should be friends,

Oh, union boss and the senator should be friends

One man works for worker's rights, the other tries to start a fight,

But that's no reason why they cain't be friends.

Okay, I just watched the whole clip. Man, Mullin really got his panties in a twist over a few mean tweets. He just could not let it go.

Right?! My favorite was when Bernie Sanders said, “Ask your question but don’t talk about fighting” -can’t remember what he said exactly- and that idiot Markwayne responds with

”Ok”- and goes full stream ahead with his personal grievances! He’s like a five year old. Does he really think his constituents give two shits about his beef with a teamster?! He’s a dickhead. Those tweets were from April. There’s nothing else going on in this man’s life that’s he’s so thin skinned and shitty over a tweet from like 7 months ago? Your tax dollars at work, Oklahoma.

He's obviously too emotional to serve in Congress.

I thought the first rule of Republican Club was "Fuck you! You miserable fuck! You're not the boss of me, you lousy RINO!"

Call me crazy, Spongesean Squarehead. but I expect a U. S. senator to behave better than a schoolyard bully. Then again, I would expect kids who were playing an organized sportsball game to behave better than Mullin did.

Mullins wants his immature histrionics to be the norm in the senate.

I say no.

You know who else in Congress is an MMA expert? Sharice Davids. And yet she's never threatened anybody at her place of work. But please, keep telling us how women are too emotional to handle The Big Jobs.
