Thanks, Rick, for the history of dules, fisticuffs and child-like-ranker that has taken place in Congress or by members of Congress from back-in-the day to the present. Another "Good Grief" moment in the annuals of disgusting MAGA moments.

Markwayne Mullin (second cousin once removed of John Wayne) said, after this exchange, that "they used to settle disagreements on the floor of Congress with guns. Maybe it's time to bring that back!" Yes, REALLY!!!

He was inspired to run for Senate after seeing the "Cash me ousside" girl on Dr. Phil.

I have never watched Dr. Phil, so I don't know who "she" is. Tell me about her, if you have time.

She became a meme after her appearance on Dr. Phil. Know Your Meme has the history.

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cash-me-ousside-howbow-dah

She was about 13 when she appeared on Dr. Phil. She's a white girl but had the affect of a Black girl or Latina chola and presented herself as a thug. She had some inscrutable lumpenproletariat accent when she was challenging members to fight after the taping outside. "Catch me outside, how about that" out of her mouth sounded like "Cash me ousside how bow dah".

She's now a rapper known as Bhad Bhabie.

I'm an attorney. I appear in both trial courts and appellate courts. As amusing as it might be to imagine going to an oral argument in my state supreme court and challenging the chief justice to a cage match if he appears to disagree with my position, I think it is still fairly unlikely to happen. At least the judicial branch is still pretending to be above the fray...

Well Rick, It's going to be a heavy rain here this afternoon, so I guess I'll just have to sit here inside and laugh at the Tom Tomorrow post. Thank you for getting me going!

Maybe we should all chip in to buy them jacked up 4X4 Erectile Dysfunction Therapy pick-up trucks.

These clowns are an embarrassment to the republic. And every republican running for office, anywhere and everywhere, should be called on to defend or repudiate this nonsense.

The GOP committee MMA threats are pure “ I know you are but what am I?” Pee Wee Hermanism, with Uncle Bernie as the ref. Add Kevin’s hallway kidney punch hit and run, and becomes inmates taking over the asylum Tuesday. While in actual governing news, the Dems let Mike Johnson kick the shutdown can down the road. All delicious schadenfreude.

Add the behavior you mention to the long, LONG list of why I despise them all. Attention Whores, Fake Tough Guys, Mentally-Challenged Double-Digit-IQ midgets and Marjorie Australopithecus Greene: behold the Republican Party. No wonder Mitt basically said "Yeah fuck this, I'm out."

The Fake Tough guys are my least favorite.

Same. It's all such obviously fake posturing. Mind you, Mr.Johnson's little "I'm a Christian so I'm going to Heaven so fuck you" smile is a close second.

I'm anxiously awaiting the rap song featuring, "You are a United States Senator!" There is nothing better than Bernie Sanders in full Bernie-mode.

Excellent commentary on yesterday’s fight club. How do we ever get back to manners, decency, respect and honor? I do not know.

Not until the incentives change...and that's not happening for a while, I'm afraid.

Don't blame us Tennesseans for Comer. He belongs to KY. We have plenty of crackpots here already.

Comer's KY, TOO? McConnell, Ryan, and Comer. How on EARTH did people who voted for them also vote for Andy Beshear for Governor??!
