Look at the pain etched on Senator Sanders’ face as a hearing in the United States Senate is desecrated by a thin-skinned bully from Oklahoma. The Oklahoma senator wanted to fight Sean O’Brien, the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents 1.4 million workers across the country:
Nothing , is off the table with these repugnant republicans- standing up to start a fist fight during a senate hearing is outrageous! This kind of behavior , would have never happened years ago! Along with - tuberville behavior , along with trumps behavior - it’s all Royally FCKED up ! It’s chaos , it’s dictatorship, it’s disarray. 24/7 with this brand of republicans ! The more putrid the atmosphere for them - the more they wallow in it !
Well said! These useless people who Gane NO Interest in governing or even paying attention to our country, and the tire needs that need attention, absolutely must be thrown out. Voting them out takes too much time and not enough. People are paying intelligent attention to do that right. They should be thrown out for their disgraceful and juvenile, and frankly stupid behavior, all of which is a Betraying their oath of office! Doesn’t Joseph office mean anything anymore? We are sick of us and sick of them. We want our Country back! With intelligent senators, who have integrity and a vital interest in the proper governing of a great country.
Sorry for the terrible typos – I am in the hospital with a family member who is ill & I was distracted. But hopefully you got the message! These people are betraying their oath of office, do not deserve the position they hold , and must be thrown out!
Texas Tribune reported on the highway thuggery aimed at Kamala Harris by Trump thugs, spelling out and threatening the January 6 outrage, full blast. The dictator wannabe tells you beforehand. Hear him. Trump cannot keep his own secret. His mouth goes off like a duck’s behind waggles. Trump is transparent. And psychotic, STOP.
It starts with politicians physically fighting in Congress or a parliament, in a civilized country, and it ends in those countries becoming a banana republic or an authoritarian kakistocracy, similar to Hungry or Belarus.
We’ve seen this movie before in places like Eastern Europe and Central Asia. And it never ends well. Democracy erodes due to apathy and shear hate, and is always replaced with something far worse; think Stephen Miller in charge of US Immigration policy, and the Mango Mafia in charge of the US economy and purse strings.
Vote Blue like our lives depend on it; because it does!...:)
The Senator from Oklahoma proved the old saying. The loudest man in the room is the weakest man in the room. His male ego is so fragile that he has to provoke violence in a situation that calls for debate. I guess when a political party has no policies to improve society, they elect representatives to disrupt and tear down society. It takes more than brawn and bombastic rhetoric to be a strong leader. It takes a person with sound judgment and the intelligence to know when to shut up and sit down. The Senator has neither intelligence or sound judgment.
But you know what Patrick, he made the national news cycle, I read a lot of political commentary and I have never heard of him before yesterday, granted I’m not in Oklahoma, but as juvenile as his act was, he elevated our awareness of him. The repugnantkins are never offering ideas for the good of the country to the public, and since they are devoid of ideas, all they have left is empty posturing, it’s really quite pathetic, don’t you think?
When I see displays like this, my mind instantly dresses the perpetrator in a neatly pressed, perfectly tailored SS uniform. Cap and all. Can’t help it.
He’s one of my favourite Senators and I’m Canadian. He is craggy and grumpy and I loved it when he sat at Biden’s inauguration with his mitts on. You’re right I wish he could be cloned, I’d get a copy made for my country.
This, plus ‘vermin’, plus direct mass texting fundraiser messages like ‘This is God’s will’ from supposedly ‘Congressman Mike Jones’ which I now get daily (and have no idea why), plus the highway ‘Arming America’ billboard ads from gun manufacturers on I-75 in South Georgia, alongside the same road where Confederate flags fly high next to recruiting ads for ‘patriot’ ex-military to join the cause... is all setting off all kinds of alarms for me. What I don’t understand is why aren’t we doing anything to STOP it? To stop him, the greatest and most cowardly thug of all?
Goons in the swamp will always challenge your peace of mind. Strength is in adapting every time. Russians are being helped by Iran and China with flocks of drones and deadly explosives at the frontline. They first initiate the firefight and when it begins they release a huge number of drones over the Ukrainian fighters to drop explosives. Russians are now being propped up by their allies while Mike Johnson dithers in congress to continue supporting Ukraine. Ukrainians’ blood is on his hand and soon it can come to us unless this foolishness is stopped.
That juvenile behavior was appalling and should be embarrassing to ALL Americans! Wonder where Senator Mullins picked up his bully mentality! Could it be Trump?
Until the Republican Party abandons this agenda of [trying to] destroy our government, infusing doubt into our free & fair elections, demolishing the rule of law through TFFG, and comes back to admitting that the problem with government is not the size of it but who we elect to go to Washington DC to do the people’s business— nothing good can happen.
Our government has a responsibility to govern in a way that does not discriminate and gives all citizens [even the immigrants who are transitioning] a chance at a good (secular) public education, and the right to clean air, clean water, and a safe place to live.
If this infantile behavior going on in today’s GOP, which has been hi-jacked by MAGATS & RWNJS, is not stopped we will stay in limbo as to whether we can maintain a government that works for all Americans or devolve into a theocratic-authoritarian-despotic non-functioning dictatorship.
First, we need to vote out all of these Congress critters who refused to certify a free & fair election in 2020. They are the real vermin in this scenario.
Thanks for finally mentioning the place these obstructionist come from.. never have recovered from the 1860’s attitudes..they need to be cut off from fed social programs of socialism they so hate and let them stew in their maga juice for a while..
Out here in california we actually generate tax revenues so those ingrates can be subsidized.. they cant do it on their own, and need to learn that cooperation is what got homo sapiens where they are..that is an uphill battle..
Disgusting. The only bright spot is the consistent decency of Bernie Sanders.
If I were the leaders of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, I would just sit back and wait to see if the US voluntarily joins the axis of evil on election day.
Do people not realize that one day this thuggery will be turned on them? That they will be the vermin?
Oh - no , their supporters don’t believe they will be affected - until they are ! They don’t believe they are on any “list”of those who will lose their freedoms - until they are ! And when they are and they revolt with all their guns and ammo ? We democrats will be the targets - because in their twisted heads , it’s gonna be all our faults ! And why didn’t we warn them
Yes. MAGA folks believe they are victims. Accountability is not in their wheelhouse. When/if they burn our country to the ground they will continue to blame everyone but themselves.
I'm an Independent, not a Democrat, but I'm voting Blue up and down ballot. I have little doubt that eventually I'll be classified as vermin.
We very nearly scream the word VOTE so that people will do their public duty and express their love and caring for their country. Trouble is that in so many cases they did and look what we got. The disrespect bordering on disgust for Congress is because this more or less objectionable assortment of politicians were put there by the VOTE. People actually elected this idiot , Mullin, from Oklahoma, more of a State of bloodshot madness than the benign, charming State celebrated by Rogers & Hammerstein all those years ago. Yes, this is oft times adulterated by such manipulations as gerrymandering or other means of choosing your own voters but it is the system and this is what you get until you change it. That will be either by electing Trump, in which case the Vote will go into a museum as a quaint relic of the past OR you will elect enough Democrats, not squeaky clean themselves but lightyears better, emphasis on light. For the most part they will clean a whole bunch of stuff up that has eaten away at the dignity, once expected in Congress, but lost at the hands of the Gaetzes, McCarthys and so many others you’ve come to know. Get together and get it together. Give the Dems a majority they can work with to get America back on track and start building respect again.
Perfect, Bob Fleck..now as for the VOTE. The r’s have been “Playing with this and continue to be able to suppress. But how do we open up establishing easier accessibility to Vote. All the work Democrats have done gets “shot down” by randomly making a new Law or the State refuses to change the Map that the Court rule (law?) Orders... and get away w/it. How do you fix the fact that the r’s just keep voting NO to anything the Democrats propose? How is it that tfg is a private citizen, yet is able to control this Right Wing? As far as my opinion, tfg needs to be jailed. His rhetoric (hate/ continuous lies and misinformation) is unconstitutional and must be stopped. He breaks laws 24/7) is this obstruction?
What we are witnessing is our fragile democracy quickly unraveling before our eyes. Our democracy’s sworn enemies who worked so hard over the decades since 1945 are already celebrating their pyrrhic victory and planning what’s next. No one is going to like what’s next, but it will soon be too late and there will be no turning back the hands on the doomsday clock one minute after midnight.

Magdalena …kudos
Please be careful… who you vote for…save democracy!!!marsha 🌹
Looks like you've given us a new word: Put "repugnant" and "Republicans" together and you get "Repuglicans"! Thanks, M.L.!

SB Lewis Trump is psychotic
Believe what he’s saying he’ll do
He will destroy the democracy
in the USA stop him ✅! Marsha
Yes. He will.

I realize we need to watch and hear about this crap, not turn away, but I am sick of all of it.
It’s almost like watching the WWA, except the WWA may have more credibility!
It’s all ridiculous
Yes, indeed.

I couldn't agree more with you when you have no vision, you strike out in fear.
Mullin probably sent a fund raising letter out before he left the office for the day?
Dick Montagne your responses
Constantly speak truth …
What a treasure! Ty🌹Marsha
When I see displays like this, my mind instantly dresses the perpetrator in a neatly pressed, perfectly tailored SS uniform. Cap and all. Can’t help it.
Wonder why?
.
Patrick P .. BRAVO thanks, marsha
Bernie is my senator. We love him up here in VT. He is craggy and grumpy and righteous and I wish we could clone him.
He’s one of my favourite Senators and I’m Canadian. He is craggy and grumpy and I loved it when he sat at Biden’s inauguration with his mitts on. You’re right I wish he could be cloned, I’d get a copy made for my country.

May Ng you are very wise!!!
Heartfelt than you, Marsha 🌹
I’m getting those messages too - ugh!!
That juvenile behavior was appalling and should be embarrassing to ALL Americans! Wonder where Senator Mullins picked up his bully mentality! Could it be Trump?
The Trump Clown Show, full blast.
Agree! The real mystery is why so many people can’t or won’t recognize this for what it is! Does being a cult explain it?
No. Racisms, pure American racism, age old, white trash reaction to two terms of Obama.
Good point!
No. Cult? No. Two terms of Obama.

WOW … thank you JaBier,Marsha
Not that the Mountain states don’t have their share but, anyone notice that most of these low brow politicians come from the Southern states ?
Congress and the Supreme Court are in competition for lowest approval ratings.
Thanks for finally mentioning the place these obstructionist come from.. never have recovered from the 1860’s attitudes..they need to be cut off from fed social programs of socialism they so hate and let them stew in their maga juice for a while..
Bravo.

Amen Max. Democrats are not perfect, but I believe they have our best interests at heart. Something you can’t say about republicans now.
The first requirement to earn my vote is that you must be pro democracy.
I'm not hearing democracy talk from any Republicans.
Puerile, shameful, embarrassing are just some of the words that come to mind to describe the Republican House of Clowns members.
Par for the course now...

Perhaps Sen. Sanders could have Mullins’ mother discipline her son and explain the difference between a Senate hearing and a roadhouse free-for-all.

Republicans had divorced themselves from democracy after 2016 ! They didn’t want to say it out loud , but they were leaning into something else -
I guess whatever trump morphed into !
