It kind of feels like somebody playing in the company softball league, winning three championships,

Why can’t we have nice, boring, educated adults to fill those spots?
I guess it comes with electing a clown.

Go, Bacon!
Markwayne Mullin holds an AA in Applied Science degree in Construction Technology from the Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology, earned in 2010. While he is the only current US Senator without a bachelor’s degree, he also received an honorary doctorate from Bacone College in 2018.
Oklahoma’s workforce is at the weak end of the education spectrum, at least as of 2016.

As far as how bad he will be as compared to The Thirsty Gnome…my guess is he isn’t quite so callous and soul-less and mean and remorseless as she is. He’s also not very quick. She is no genius, but she was good at being poisonous and nasty and parroting the vile comeback-attacks when being questioned. I feel he will stumble and work himself into trouble…while also having a bit of a conscience which will trip him up.

My kids have competed in both Jiu Jitsu and high school wresting, so I have some relevant experience with both. Long story short, they are not interchangeable skill sets. In BJJ the goal is a submission, in wrestling it’s a pin. In BJJ being face down on the mat (turtled) is almost certain doom; in wrestling it’s a good defense. In wrestling being on your back is almost certain doom; in BJJ it’s a powerful position of control. What will win you a match in one sport will lose it for you in the other. (My kids gave up on wrestling because their BJJ muscle memory was working against them.)
The point is one does NOT take wrestling skills to a BJJ world championship and defeat a Gracie.

In Markwayne’s hearing today, he brought in his ol’ pal Sean O’Brien to sit behind him so he could show that there were no hard feelings, and they were just 2 guys doin’ what 2 guys do (in a Senate chamber back when they were not agreeing on stuff).

Would either (or both of them) be willing to run DHS? Seems to me – as long as you came along to supervise them – they would be far superior to this weasel that Trump wants in his cabinet!
Didn’t know anything about this guy before today. First impression seeing him was “this guy looks like a mug.” Turns out that’s exactly what he is. That he’s a fake comes as no surprise, his being chosen by the biggest fake in history.

Makes me wonder how capable he is as a plumber. (And we need good plumbers!)

Indian Country Today news service has been gushing about a Real Native American becoming a cabinet secretary. I guess Deb Haaland didn’t count because Female.
Anyway, the commenters are mostly not having it. Lots of “sure - his grandmother was a Cherokee princess” and so on.
I liked this one:
Fucking useless a-hole Fetterman casts the deciding vote in favor of allowing this clown’s nomination to go to the full Senate.
Can someone tell me why Fetterman has not been kicked out of the caucus and treated like a pariah already? For such a big dude, he’s done a remarkable impersonation of a Trump lap-dog yet again.
