Markwayne was upset about a fuckin tweet. Shame on Oklahoma for voting him in. This is what you get from a MMA fighter, he tries to fight people. 😂
Republicans: All Trump is guilty of is a few mean tweets.
Also Republicans: If somebody tweets something mean about me, I will fucking kill them.
Bernie is a treasure.
It was all bluster anyway. But good on Bernie for stopping that nonsense.
Can't be the only person who read this in Bernie's voice.
Ever been to Oklahoma? They don't know the word shame
I hear they're OK with everything
Isn't this "OK sign means white supremacy" thing made up by 4chan?
Made up? Yes.
Embraced by actual racists? Also yes.
The symbol that actual white nationalists still do at their rallys? Origins don't matter in terms of how it's actively used by groups, Whinnie the Pooh is either a loveable bear or a critique of the Chinese goverment. Mac Tonight is an McDonald's mascot or a racist. A swastika is either Nazis or good luck to Hindus.
All sorts of groups latch on to cultural touchstones.
I remember hearing that in middle school about a decade prior to 4chan (similar to 'the Band 311 means 3 of the 11th letter, KKK'). So my head canon is that it was a school kid joke/meme that carried over to 4chan.
Oooh, ooh, I hope Gym Jordan, Fivehead Gaetz, Jimbob Squarehead Comer, and Margarine Traitor Greene will offer to fight me for the very mean tweets I've sent them!!!
Ted Cruz offered Gym Jordan to fight Ron Perlman. Ted is such a pansy he has to have a rape apologist fight his fights.
Two consenting adults, eh? 😏 I feel like that phrasing is almost always used before the words in the privacy of their own bedroom. If Markwayne wanted to get topped that bad he should have just asked; why are bottoms like this?
In a funnier but still depressing timeline we might have gotten the first congressional actual dick measuring contest 😆
You heard it here first. If you can beat him, you get the Senator crown.
Sanders yelling at him was then followed by him sitting down while they just kept insulting each other. It's like when your dog wants to fight another dog, and it obeys your order to sit, but still won't stop barking aggressively,
Man-with-two-first-names syndrome.
