Who do you have in a fight between a Medford Teamster and a guy named Markwayne from Oklahoma?

Teamster President Sean O'Brien, the pride of Medford, really gets under the skin of Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Somethingorother, to the point where Markwayne offered to throw down right there in a Senate hearing and had to be reminded by Zayde Sanders from Vermont that he was a U.S. senator and he needs to sit his frickin' butt down now.

The senator is a former MMA
The senator is a former MMA fighter…. There is so much more to say, but my nightly Happy Pills are kicking in…
I think the key word is "former"
I think the key word is "former".
Also not a storied career
He fought for like 6 months. Had 3 matches, 2 against the same guy. And while he won all 3, they totalled only 10 minutes in the cage. He's not exactly tested as a fighter.
Sean O’Brien is the best
Sean O’Brien is the best thing that has happen to union labor. Finally someone that can represent the workers. God bless him. An his family. Markwayne is a piece of trash. He has no class. He is a washed up bum.
Markwayne doesn't know his history
O'Brien ousted the Hoffa clan.
Does he really want to mess with that?
It would be fun to "conjecture" that little bratshit crazy Mullin is paid by the Hoffas. But I won't because that's misinformation.
Who names their kid Markwayne? Parents
that want their progeny to grow up to be a serial killer?
About that MMA stuff: he fought in three fights in six months, went 3-0, total of 10 minutes and less than three full rounds. His opponents' records: 1-11, 1-11 (he beat the same guy twice), and 12-9. He appears to be bullshitting when he says he went 5-0 professionally. Not sure who I'd pick in a throwdown, but his fighting credentials seem a little puffed up.
Before joining his fan club,
Before joining his fan club, I had to look him up on Wikipedia and this is what it says: "His first name is a tribute to two of his paternal uncles, Mark and Wayne; his mother put both names on his birth certificate, intending to later shorten his name to one of the two, but ultimately never did."
Dude's got some serious principles too:
"Mullin supports making abortion illegal in all circumstances, even in cases of rape, incest, or if the mother's life is at risk. During the 2022 Republican runoff debate, he claimed that if his wife's life were at risk during a pregnancy, neither he nor his wife would want to get an abortion."
To be fair
It would be difficult for him to get an abortion, given that he could never be pregnant.
Like the Santorums
They would just call it something else and deny it was an abortion.
Because a Senator's wife gets the health care she needs to survive to raise the other children, and regular folk get a casket and orphans.
Now, now
It's not fair to assume that he would not let his wife die for his principles.
That's the thing
He didn't.
And whether or not you call it an abortion or something else, absolutist laws would have prevented a doctor from performing the medical interventions that saved Karen Santorum's life simply because it might be seen as an abortion.
Name doesn't bother me
Everything else about him is obnoxious. One wonders if the family will continue the tradition and there will soon be a Markwaynejimmy followed by a Markwaynejimmysabatian.
Yay Zayde
Sanders yelled at Mullin: “Stop it! No, no, sit down! You know, you’re a United States senator."
Sit down! You're a United States Senator...
"You can't fight here, this is the War Room!" just keeps flashing through my mind.
Such passion!
If only they could channel their passion into something useful like governing! Sounds like how highschool kids act.
In fairness...
In fairness, only one of them has "governing" as part of his job description (and I suspect technically it's "legislating", not "governing").
The best and brightest obviously work in other professions
Pulling fire alarms? Wanting to fight?
Welcome to the 6th grade
Consenting Adults: the Musical
I like to read this exchange as if it's a hostile-romantic duet in a Broadway musical, in which the two protaganists pretend to hate each other, but can't hide their mutual attraction.
(Music begins)
Mullin (sings): 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.
O'Brien (sings): Ok, that's fine, perfect.
Mullin: You want to do it now?
O'Brien: I'd love to do it right now!
Mullin: Then stand your butt up then!
O'Brien: You stand your butt up!
(together): We can finish it here!
O'Brien: We can be two consenting adults!
(together): We can finish it here!
Yeah...
...that's some serious evil genius you got there. Take a bow.
