Originally published at: Sen Markwayne Mullin Is Confused đŸ«„ - TPM – Talking Points Memo

Fired Centers for Disease Control Director Susan Monarez endured a lot of weird questioning from Republicans during a hearing before the Senate Heath, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Wednesday. But none were as bizarre as the line of questioning Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) tossed her way, accusing the former official of lying about her final conversations

“The minute I can’t tell you’re being honest with me, I can’t trust you. From then on, everything you say is questioned.”

Translation: You’re guilty if he thinks you’re guilty and the punishment will only get worse the longer you don’t confess. And I’m sure any time he’s proven wrong he blames the person he accused because it was their fault he couldn’t trust them and not that his feelings bias him.

Glad I ain’t one of his kids. But I like how people confess to how ineffective their parenting is that they have to routinely tell them to be honest when they do wrong without seeing that this wouldn’t be necessary if they were raised right.

Cassidy says that “I understand that Sen Mullin implied there was a recording of the meeting between Dr Monarez and Sec Kennedy. I will note that if materials have been provided to Mullin, they are official committee records
if it does not exist, I ask Mullin to retract his line of questions”

This will be forgotten because Sen. Mullin will not retract. He was trying to use a scare tactic to make her believe that there is a recording. Dead Brain worm wouldn’t think to record a meeting, especially if he is in the wrong.

Markwayne’s momma wanted to name him after his daddy, but she wasn’t sure which cousin it was.

Pritzker challenged tRump’s NG deployment in Illinois and, wait for it, TACO.
Shocked? I’m not, because he’s a wimp.
If it’s not on teevee he can’t fire someone to their face.

First:
In 2015 Kash “was a national security prosecutor at the Department of Justice (DOJ), working in its National Security Division (NSD).” I would think that the shooting in SC at the Mother Emanuel AME Church would have been noticed over the DOJ-NSD. Or this is a proof that we have way to many mass shootings in this country.
Second: Are the NG deployments still getting 29 day runs so that the Feds don’t have to cover the costs of their deployment? And with all this deploying here, there, and everywhere how much are the Guardsmen getting screwed?

Apparently, FCC chair has caused chicken shit abc to suspend? can? or whatever, Jimmy Kimmel.
If you don’t think we are entering 1930s Germany you’re not paying attention.

ETA. This ain’t 20s Italy, definitely 30s Germany.
ETA2. Well maybe a little Mangolini. Or a lot.

Mullin is not confused, he is simply stupid in that uniquely okie way (and I say that as a former okie).

In case anyone wants a link.

BREAKING: Disney’s ABC pulls ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ ‘indefinitely’ after host’s Charlie Kirk comments
Disney’s ABC said “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will be pulled “indefinitely,” a spokesperson confirmed to NBC News, following the late-night host’s monologue about the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Kimmel raised the possibility that the alleged assassin might have been a pro-Trump Republican. Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr threatened to “take action” over the comments.

It’s all fun and games deploying your state’s National Guard units to faraway cities until there’s a natural disaster and there’s no functional FEMA to bail you out.

What the regime really thinks about the Roof affair

Regarding Dylann Roof, Director Patel has a heavy workload and cannot waste his valuable memory space on events that are not crucial concerns for him in his position atop the Trump FBI. Mr. Roof is a right-wing activist and thus would only commit any violent act because he passionately wishes to end crime in Amierica, while his alleged “victims” include only individuals of the sort that Mr. Trump wishes to see taken off the streets entirely, in any case. .

"The safety of our citizens is not negotiable,” Miller said

So why is Miller on the media boasting about crime in his state? And why is there so much crime in his state?

Maybe if he put the Twitter down and did his job?

Sounds to me like Ohio needs Democrats.

Seems likely but his ignorance/disregard of Senate rules and his own sworn responsibilities are typical of Trumpublicans, raising the perennial question: is it incompetence or malice and is there a point where it doesn’t make any difference. Clearly the answer is yes.

Or perhaps there is a recording, the contents of which are more damning of Sec. Kennedy than Dr. Monarez.

That photo of Mullin: Is cosplay now required of Republicans in federal office? Or is he the Fetterman of the right?

Not the Fetterman from the right. F ran as a D and stroked out to the right. Two-first-names has always been a shit.

With the supposed “recording”, Markywayne is engaging in gaslighting.

Just like JD does and Kirk did. Markywayne is just not accomplished at gaslighting as those 2.
