      „It’s not a lie, if you believe it.“

      G. Costanza – circa 1992

      Mullin was born into an upper-class family and dropped out of college to go into his family’s businesses. He later sold the businesses and became a multi-millionaire. He’s never had to struggle.

      > Mullin did not serve in any branch of the US armed forces, but inherited a plumbing company and took part in a handful of mixed martial arts fights, so it is unclear what experience he describes in interviews.

      Lmao, brutal.

      This is the same guy in the Senate hearing wanted to fight the head of the teamsters.
      What a fucking joke.

      Dude talks about combat like he’s been there. He hasn’t. That’s stolen valor adjacent at best.

      He talks big but when J6 was happening, he wasn’t there holding the doors.

      He was cowering in fear on his knees.

      that’s the maga way. act tough and know everything about war, but hide when it’s time to enlist.

      Stolen Valor prick. His obsession with his step-Daddy Kegseth is the stuff incest pr0n is made from.

      We all saw how he handled the 6Jan cult and what he’s made of.

      He is proof that you do not have to be smart to be rich or to get elected.

      “ I would of joined but I’d probably kick a drill sergeants ass if he got in my face”

      You’d be surprised at how easy it is for people to get away with „stolen valor.“ It’s so easy to not question.

      Markwayne Mullin is the “smell of war” guy who also referred to Pete Hegseth as the president.

      He is a fucking moron.

      This fraudster is one of the biggest shitstains in America. Will fit right in with this dumpster fire of a corrupt and lawless administration.

    21. Taeliim on

      Thats because he’s a COD bro like the ICE cosplayers too. Hegseth is an actual vet who is trying to cosplay as a team guy like he has a long tab cause all he really is a national guard nobody. Kash Patel wants to be a sports star SOOOO bad he will crash locker rooms. All of them are losers pretending.

      The GOP speaks of „DEI hires“ and their preference for merit-based ascendance…..and we get these dipshits. It’s folly.

      And now sit back and watch while dudes like Rand Paul eviscerate Mullen during the hearing and still vote to yes on his confirmation.

      I would like to share a relevant NPR excerpt from a story about airport wait times and TSA workers not being paid from the shutdown:

      >KELLY: Homeland Security, DHS, has been blaming the shutdown on Democrats. They have been putting out increasingly direct and, I think fair to say, partisan public statements on social media and so forth. Does that kind of rhetoric – does it make it harder to reach a deal that is in the interest of passengers, people trying to fly in the industry?

      >SUNUNU: You know, when – as a former governor, you got to come to a negotiation saying, what am I willing to give in on, right? Where am I willing to give a little ground, you know, to find that common ground? One of the big issues was they didn’t like the leadership at Homeland Security. Republicans gave that up. They fired Kristi Noem. I think that was a big political give to the Democrats. They said they wanted body cameras. Those are going in. They said they wanted new management and some calm and some better strategy on Minnesota. That has all come to bear and been calmed down. So I think what the Republicans are saying is, look, we’ve given in a bit here. So they’re saying, Democrats, what are you guys willing to give? And so far, we haven’t really heard of anything yet.

      Basically ICE is killing people on the streets and harassing and terrorizing them and the DHS has bought untold numbers of warehouses for concentration camps for some outrageous number that couldn’t possibly be the price of those warehouses.

      And this former politician turn CEO of an airline company is saying, “ What do you want? They got rid of Noem! End this shutdown so we can make money again. ICE has body cams now. Now they can document their cruelty and get video of the protestors they can use to get facial recognition data from. And THIS DILDO they replaced Noem with is an argument for how the secret police of Trump isn’t a big deal so fuck off so we can make money.

      The guy hiding from the January sixth insurrectionists? That guy? Fuckin pussy.

    26. CrackingToastGromet on

      Did he have an uncle who served? Ya know, because Trump thinks because his uncle was a professor at MIT it means he is somehow a genius himself. Could be same with MarkyWayne

    29. Supreme_Primate on

      Stolen Valor? I know a few vets and when they see this kind of shit it REALLY pisses them off. They have a couple of questions they ask someone to see if they served, like very specific where I don’t understand, and if they fail look out.

      I would enjoy seeing this interaction with this bitch of a man.

    30. iluvpokemanz on

      In theory, the people who shit on Tim Walz for “stolen valor” should carry the same criticisms of Mullin….right? Right?

    31. Buttermilk-Waffles on

      The closest thing to combat this chicken shit saw was when he was cowering inside the senate chamber while rabid Babbitt was trying to bust through the windows.

    32. Reddit_anon_man on

      He’s just mixing up war and plumbing issues. Look at how he describes it. It’s an honest mistake.

      „Mullin told Fox News: “War is ugly. It smells bad. And if anybody has ever been there and been able to smell the war that’s happening around you and taste it, and feel it in your nostrils, and hear it, it’s something you’ll never forget. And it’s ugly.”
      ….
