Sen. Markwayne Mullin, a former MMA fighter, had challenged the president of the Teamsters union, Sean O’Brien, but Sanders shut them both down.
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
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.
Just a result of decades and decades of letting adults act like children.
College football coaches are still good though, right?
Also no.
A lot of people have chimed in and I’m surprised to not see the main culprit mentioned.
We have a MASSIVE propaganda problem. We have a press/media system that has COMPLETELY failed in all ways possible, fallen to the typical greed that “ruins” most corporations (quality). We have a population driven to believe that the only people you can trust are people you already agree with so you get your news from Faux News or worse johnny jackass’s random podcast with a smattering of Facebook memes and uncle Jimmy’s racist rants about Obummer.
Unfortunately I believe we’re absolutely fucked. We’re a zombie nation trudging along a path to violence that we will not steer away from. The propagandists are pushing us there and we won’t stop them as we have afforded them 1st amendment protections that they absofuckinglutley have taken advantage of and hide behind.
The people that should lead us want nothing to do with politics, and I don’t think anyone can blame them. That leaves the castle gates wide open for wackos.

Don’t tell this guy about how often Congress devolved into fist fights, cane beatings and duels during our countries early years.
“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.
It was all bluster anyway. But good on Bernie for stopping that nonsense.
Can’t be the only person who read this in Bernie’s voice.
Oooh, ooh, I hope Gym Jordan, Fivehead Gaetz, Jimbob Squarehead Comer, and Margarine Traitor Greene will offer to fight me for the very mean tweets I’ve sent them!!!
Ted Cruz offered Gym Jordan to fight Ron Perlman. Ted is such a pansy he has to have a rape apologist fight his fights.
We can be two consenting adults.
Two consenting adults, eh? 😏 I feel like that phrasing is almost always used before the words in the privacy of their own bedroom. If Markwayne wanted to get topped that bad he should have just asked; why are bottoms like this?
#LittleManSyndrome
In a funnier but still depressing timeline we might have gotten the first congressional actual dick measuring contest 😆
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,
Ever been to Oklahoma? They don’t know the word shame
Man-with-two-first-names syndrome.
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.
I’m impressed that you think we’ll last long enough.
1/3 of this country is buffoonery
Too many
That requires adults to vote for them
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.
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.
Sanders bringing back The People’s Elbow.
I smell the cooking
It’s gefilte fish
So much little dick, snowflake, peaked in middle school energy coming from this guy, it’s just absolutely sad.
And we somehow expect more from a cage fighter? Most of the fighters I have met were nice to a point but have super super fragile egos.
Wtf is happening
The decline of American democracy.
I mean yes, but we’ve had a man beaten to within an inch of his life on the floor of congress before so this isn’t unprecedented.
Right before a civil war, no less!
Ah shit, history does rhyme…
House o’ representin’
Misunderstood masculinity.
Performative masculinity.
Idk he might just be an asshole.

I’m sorry… Markwayne?
What kind of stupid fucking name is that.
My uncle Bubbafred could beat him up.

It’s too common these days, and honestly, it’s just an evolution of hyphenated names. Why even have the hyphen? Just smoosh 'em together and nobody will notice.
You know, I was just thinking how stupid the name sounded until you pointed this out. I still think it’s stupid, but now it at least makes sense how we got here.
You guys remember this country fought a war against itself, right?
A lot of countries have had civil wars
Ah… well, that makes it ok then.
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.

It does seem to be the undertone of other things though that do cash checks. Unfortunately.
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.
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
The creators of Idiocracy did not have the imagination for this.
Haha, you got that right!
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.
But we don’t act like big tough guys who try to fight people on the senate floor. We know we are weenies he just acts like he isn’t one. Did that break it down for you hun 💖?
Aww the condecension is cute, so you take issue with a politician lying? Incredible.
You tried to make a coherent response good try! 👍
The senator has two first names… in his first name.
What are people expecting here?
Name-calling?
Fannybaws
Just another Republican.
Uduslly this type of toxic masculinity screams closet case to me.
