Sen. Markwayne Mullin the former mixed martial arts fighter who challenged a labor leader to a brawl in the middle of a Senate hearing room Tuesday, says there’s a long history of violence in American politics, claiming in an interview: “You used to be able to cane.”
Mullin isn’t backing down or apologizing after his confrontation with Teamsters President Sean O’Brien at a Senate Health Committee hearing nearly came to blows, forcing Chair Bernie Sanders to step in to break up the potential fight.
Mullin defended his conduct in an interview with Newsmax, asserting: “Every now and then, you need to get punched in the face.”
Just 36 percent of respondents back returning congressional redistricting authority to state lawmakers.
I’m not really in favor of dumping the “fair” redistricting, but I’ve come to the reluctant decision that being “fair” in circumstances where nothing the GOP proposes/does is fair for everyone else is abandoning all those people that need “liberals” to help support them.
Along with your food truck brigade, I’m recalling the young women placing flowers in rifle barrels back in the day. I’d suggest the same tactic, only this time by little old ladies who could fix the grannie stare directly into each officer’eyes while placing a posie.
Jeeps also flip over easily. They are silly “cars” for regular roads because of that danger. I learned about this when a student in one of my classes was killed, and several were injured, when the jeep they were riding in while on the way back from an athletic competition flipped over in what otherwise would have been a minor accident. The only time in all my years of teaching when I didn’t have a final grade to turn in for a student who had died. Many hours in my office with the students who had survived the flip-over. No, we weren’t talking about when they’d have to get their missed assignment in. I still remember one student’s still swollen face and the way he wept.
I just want to give a shout out to the guy who made the most out of his Subway sandwich. You shouldn’t eat that, so I am so proud of you for using it to demonstrate how small the penis of immigration cops are.
Thank you, and I wish you a jury notification in your trial.
Assuming here that you’re not directing that advice to the Republican senator from Oklahoma, which I’d do if I were a nicer person. I don’t wish him ill, at worst a minor accident from which he (slowly) recovers.
Now, now. They should commended for their willingness to broadcast their craven cowardice far and wide. Recognizing the problem is the first step to addressing it. /s
Exactly!! While it is/was a commendable “good government (“goo goo” )” policy, I don’t see that it ever gained us any recognition or respect for it and it really amounts to unilateral disarmament in the face of a fascist onslaught.
We’ll go back to independent districting commissions when they apply nationwide and hold Republican’ts to the SAME RULES as Dems.
So, you’d like for all these independent businesspeople to be hauled away, having to abandon their trucks and livelihood on the streets, for what? You fantasize a pretty picture?
Ditto for the suggestion about stuffing flowers into rifle barrels. Yeah, because you know what that does to the mechanism should there ever be a need to fire, and even if not, they’re a mess to clean out.
You really need to go beyond the quick fantasy to the consequences, then decide if that’s what you really want to happen.
As a reminder, one’s seatbelt is an integral element of the entire safety system of a vehicle, preventing one from hitting the airbag too quickly and giving it adequate time to deploy.
