I really hope Bernie Sanders runs out of fucks to give at some point before he retires.
Bernie has never given a fuck, except about shit that matters.
Today is another example of why Congress shouldn’t be in session for 5 weeks straight. Weird things happen.
I am sorry you have to do your fucking job for more than five weeks in a row.
It's insane how normalized it is that the leaders of our country work half the year while pulling in salaries (and I'm just talking about their actual salaries, not the millions they make from shady shit)
Meanwhile most of them would scoff and call you naive if you advocated for a 4 day work week
What a fucking man child, no wonder he's (R)
Bernie. They would have made statues of him if he was president.
What a bunch of dumb ass children.
I must read this as
dumb ass-children
I was waiting for this comment
Republicans hate labor unions so much they want to physically assault their leader. If you’re an American and a worker you should take note.
The head of the Teamsters being Sean O'Brien is even better than the head of the UAW being named Shawn Fain.
Full fucking Irish name he has there, real fucking right for him to be a union president.
Bernie once again proving he is too good to lead our selfish, ignorant people.
I mean…nothing against Bernie, but what exactly did he do here that anyone else (that’s reasonable) in his position wouldn’t have?
This is why we need strong, powerful leaders in government, like Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camancho, to put the smackdown on these belligerent man-children.
Bernie should use that gavel on Mullin's head. shut that fucker up.
Nahh, he should get that bowtie wearing motherfucker in the house to do it. That guy sure can bang a gavel.
"Thankfully a woman with smeared mascara and a Hooter's top burst into the hearing, shouting, 'Markwayne, No!', effectively deescalating the confrontation"
Man, politics are wild
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — Tensions erupted on Capitol Hill on Tuesday after a fistfight nearly broke out in a Senate hearing and one Republican congressman accused former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of assaulting him.
At a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing, an argument almost turned into a fistfight between GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma and the president of the Teamsters union, Sean O'Brien.
At the time, they discussed engaging in an MMA fight for charity after they had gotten into a heated back-and-forth at a previous congressional hearing.
Mullin read aloud O'Brien's original tweet during the hearing Tuesday, which said: "Greedy CEO who pretends like he’s self made.
Burchett said he believes it was intentional, telling reporters: "Oh it was 100% on purpose, ma’am, what are the chances ... 435 members of Congress, eight of us voted against him.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who spearheaded the push to oust McCarthy, filed a complaint to the House Ethics Committee about the incident.
The original article contains 585 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Poor boy, you got confused and included the separate incident today when McCarthy kidney punched Rep. Tim Burchett (one of the 8 Republicans who voted to oust McCarthy) in the hall in front of a reporter. Not your fault not, too many fights on the hill for you to keep track of.
The article actually included that. Which I thought was weird and a little sloppy.
