HeywouldJablowme
Just remember, he's dumber than Bobert..
joshuasplinth
I don’t feel like looking it up, what was the top secret mission? I can’t imagine it was anything germane.
kylefromterminator
They brought up so many points that would make him completely illegitimate and unqualified for the position he’s being brought up to, but then let’s put them in there anyway
roughingupthesuspect
They just need someone to waste millions of dollars and talk tough in TV commercials. Not like he would be steering policy or anything. Miller takes care of that.

The fact that he is even sitting there is scary as shit. The most unqualified people running the most important positions of government - what could go wrong.
polepolekaz
When I agree more with Paul than Fetterman shows you all the crazy this current administration is.
Fargus57
I am forced to admit, I agreed with Mullin on one thing. Rand Paul's neighbor should punch him again.
tidepool
He deserved what he got because he was being an insufferable prick and dumping garbage on his neighbors land and I stand by that statement. At least he learned from it I hope.

As far as I can tell the "stunning outcome" alluded to is that he might not be confirmed? But these hearings are a joke. These guys always get the job.
rossimus
Janine Pirro is not the Attorney General because, actually, sometimes they don't.
Jewdakris
Maybe, but last time I checked I'm pretty sure that they haven't passed the funding bill yet and so that might be used in order to try and get someone else. I mean we all know the Dems are going to fucking cave at some point because that's all they do now but maybe they can get someone in charge that they can put up with.
EroticZombiePants
He did mention wanting to roll back some FEMA restrictions because he basically doesn't want to be micromanaging them the way Noem did.
SavageDrums
Yeah, instead of requiring his approval for any expense over $100K, he'll just have any expense over $100K automatically rejected.
zHurk777
To be fair during education hearings markwayne mullin asked a person testifying "What was we (Oklahoma) ranked in reading and math in 1979?" At an education hearing. And he phrased the question the same twice, the second time after the person testifying asked him to repeat the question. At an education hearing. You can't make this sh!t up. And yes, the to-be-fair was sarcasm. ps: in case it needs to be said, it should have been: Where WERE we ranked, not where WAS we ranked.
tidepool
That’s just a colloquial way of speaking in Oklahoma and many parts of the South. Yes it’s grammatically incorrect but I do believe it comes from the Scottish who settled in Appalachia and migrated west. Could be wrong but it’s just a style of the region.
Flooferdoof
If they were rage baiting him to prove a point, they really needed to lean into it more. Do a better job. — You want to lead this volatile organization that is met with dissent and anger daily and you’re upset already with my “tone”?! Sure, buddy. Ok. — guys like this can’t handle being dismissed.
NotedNuance
I think funny uh-oh mostly... it was a little haha

There's nothing funny about the shit going on.

Just love having a violent psychopath as Homeland Security czar.

He has a personal feud with the other idiot, who has threatened him with violence / stochastic terrorism in the past. I wouldn't give him any moral responsibility points for that. In the end his party is inevitably going to confirm the knucklehead.
BrusselSpout
Rand was primarily concerned with his own painful ambush, his own pain
mrnomoniker
I support the infighting though. I hope they eat each other’s faces

Not really shenanigans at all. Evil shenanigans.

The title of the post is a bit rhetorical.
zombiejedediah
And click baiting. I'm not bothering.
jasondeslin
Fuck off with this bullshit. Copy and paste some fucking context next time. How the fuck did you get most viral with this lazy crap?
JamieSays
lmfao, you're funny when you're mad about nonsense.
hightechpirate
I just want to take this moment to remind everyone that the alternative to Fetterman was 'Dr.' Oz
backrideup9
And Oz ended up in the administration anyway.
Baconlovesyoutoo
Oz would have caused far less damage as a Senator than the head of Medicare/Medicaid.
GroverKerr
Do you think Trump would have appointed someone more qualified as the head of CMS? Maybe RFK Jr. or Seema Verma, current VP at Larry Ellison's Oracle, who was his head of CMS during his first term and worked to repeal the Affordable Care Act?
Fetterman is far from the furthest right among Democratic senators, he isn't even notable central. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/john_fetterman/456877
But that's okay, because none of you operate on facts. Just impulsive reactions to headlines.
GroverKerr
Fetterman is a brain damaged, dishonest, Trump appeasing goon, and he's still more politically savvy and capable than most people on this site.
psugab
I mean, at this point I'm not sure which was worse
GroverKerr
In that case you are stupid, but that's common here. All of you treat politics as a little social media game where you make a throw away comment like this without any thought because you know you'll get upvotes.
That's all you dipshits care about, not the state of our country or the world, but how many people agree with you on an image sharing site.
psugab
It was a joke mostly. Fetterman has also not backed the leftist ideals he originally ran on. Also, Dr Oz would likely have still been called up to serve in the administration
MeowWoof
Fetterman would have disappeared if he had lost while Phil is still currently sorta active.
mikeatike
Dr Phil is a different fraud than Dr Oz.
hightechpirate
Thanks to harpo for both of them

mjcherbert
ah, why didn't I think of doing this? I'd previously used archive.is and friends but heard recently they're a bit skeevy these days ...
rumandbass
.is should be your first indication.
mjcherbert
yeah, probably, in retrospect ... although they seemed to offer a bunch of different domains so it didn't stand out particularly ... the article I'd read was that the creator was doing some shady shit to the point that archive.org kicked them out - https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-bans-archive-today-after-site-executed-ddos-and-altered-web-captures/
Clockworkdancerobot
Also, consider donating a little to the archive.
JamieSays
I really need to learn how to find stuff in the archives...
Clockworkdancerobot
Easy way to see if they have an impression of the URL. Search the URL at the main page. Great to see if a site was taken over or changed.
JamieSays
Thanks!
PointsWhore
Hi, sorry, can you please more about the URL impression and the takeover thing?
Clockworkdancerobot
Sorry yes. Some of the tools that help evaluate sources/stories. Like doing whois of a domain, then using the archive to see how it was used and what versions a site went through. Also to show a story changing headlines later on. Sometimes domains are sold, become blogs, fake news outlets, etc. Sometimes they spin up only in election years. There's tons of tools one should consider in this age. Muckrack is great for seeing authors of stories and who they write for.
PointsWhore
Thanks, I love you!

Thanks for this, friend!
