'YOU'RE A F**KING PLUMBER! YOU'VE NEVER SERVED!!!'

Nothing exposes modern politics faster than a senator role-playing as a battlefield commander… on Twitter.

You’re not storming a breach.
You’re posting from your phone...

[Walleye]

1. Living a comfortable life with a good salary and benefits

[Turbineguy]

2. Sad really.

[surfered]

3. He inherited his father's plumbing business

[dalton99a]

5. +1. His vocation was fighting

[Boo1]

19. He only had 3 fights

And 2 were against the same guy.

That's not a vocation. At best it's a hobby.

[DET]

58. And...

…the same guy has a record of 1-12.

[MarcoZandrini]

64. So....

…..he’s a loser!

[mpcamb]

84. Yeah. Fighting sewage. Now he's spewing it.

[Omnipresent]

7. That makes perfect sense.

Daddy had some brains, much like trump’s dad.
Nobody has to raise themselves up by their own bootstraps in that party, as long as their family gives them the resources to have better lives.
So much for the self made man scenario they always push.

[OldBaldy1701E]

65. Well, most of that 'self-made person' crap is just that... crap. (n/t)

[eppur_se_muova]

67. If it takes a village to raise a child, what does it take to create a billionaire ? A heavily capitalist society.

NO ONE makes it on their own.

Even hermits need goats.

[calimary]

72. OMG!!! I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this part:

“NO ONE makes it on their own.

Even hermits need goats.”

That may be my new Quote of the Week!!!

[dalton99a]

4. I wouldn't trust that asshole to fix a toilet

[3catwoman3]

6. "Go clear a drain of your own bullshit."

That’s a very good line.

[BattleRow]

26. Call Roto Rooter to ream him out...

His septic lines are backed up and spewing sewage out of his mouth.

[LSparkle]

29. LOL! Almost spit out my coffee!

[HuskyOffset]

38. It's a good thing he has health care

It's a good thing he has health care, because that is a pretty severe burn. Ouch!

[Bengus81]

82. Two things he had to know as a plumber. Shit runs downhill and pay day is Friday.

Other than that I doubt he could install a sink stopper.

[kairos12]

8. Another MAGA chickenhawk. Typical Bone Spurs warrior.

[LoisB]

16. "Bone spurs warrior" is a good one.

[peggysue2]

9. That's a brutal take down

And well-deserved from what I've seen, heard and read of Mullin. Another fake warrior.

[Goonch]

10. ;-{)......

[dalton99a]

13. +1

[louis-t]

39. I've been saying this every day. He has the name of

a serial killer.

[IbogaProject]

11. He also crouched in cowardly fear as his party's supporters were attacking

Never forget he is an actual coward on top of being a chicken hawk.

[dalton99a]

15. +1

[MoseShrute]

32. SkidMarkWayneMullin

[ret5hd]

33. stealing that.

[hvn_nbr_2]

44. Markwayne Mitty

Markwayne seems to be having a Walter Mitty type day.

[BannonsLiver]

12. That'll show 'em.

[Hope22]

14. Even my sister who served in the Air Force and sent many troops to Iraq

Had the decency to send herself to Iraq as the last duty she did before retirement. Pack your bag and head on over. I assume exposing yourself to enemy fire to communicate means wagging your dick from a very safe distance away. Think about educating yourself in defense, war and terrorism before accepting a job completely out of your league. Save us all from the heartache!

[usonian]

17. Sticking up for plumbers in peace and war.

At war, they make the best pipe bombs.

In peacetime, they make the best birth-control devices.

A STOPCOCK

[popsdenver]

21. He should feel right at home in the MAGA CABAL

mucking around, up to his neck, in nothing but Shit and Shit heads.............Knowing the whole time, that he, like all of them, are nothing but sub-human, humongous piles of excrement........

Just like the sewer, grease trap, CACA, cleaner guys he works alongside who say:............"Smells just like............MONEY !!!!!!!!!!"

[highplainsdem]

18. Exactly what Markwayne deserved.

[Cheezoholic]

20. Him be MMA tuf guy. Him have HIMS life prescriptions. Him badass.... in front of a mirror n/t

[yellowcanine]

22. Talking military jargon he learned from a movie.

These guys are so transparent. An actual war veteran never talks like that.

[BidenRocks]

40. It is very difficult to get a REAL combat vet to open up.

Most of us never heard our parents talk of WWII. I looked through my Dad's Guadalcanal cruise book.
I wouldn't want those memories being freshened up every day. Later wars, same thing.
Only pretend soldiers like Mullin, Lindsey, Rubio and JD play daily war games. Crush, kill, destroy was a television Sci Fi line. Listen to Lindsey talk about Cuba.
Hegsbreath is a coward and chump is a draft dodger!

Vets talk to vets who can relate.
They don't grab a soapbox and pontificate to anyone who will listen.

Went to the VA yesterday. Since they are forced to display chump, vance and ? I saluted as I always do.
Single finger. I give them all the respect they deserve.

[Bettie]

23. He's not even a plumber

that's a skilled trade, he has an Associates in Applied Science in Construction Technology.

Becoming a licensed plumber requires a 4-5 year apprenticeship (8k-10k of on the job training).

[dalton99a]

27. +1

[Scruffy1]

31. Not in Oklahoma.

Two years working and you can start your own business. The "business" was sold for around $50 million.

[malthaussen]

49. "Associates in Applied Science in Construction Technology."

That... sounds right around as pathetic as a degree in Gym. And the best he could be bothered to do was a lousy Associate Degree?

-- Mal

[questionseverything]

53. Golly, i wonder why democrats are accused of being elitist snobs?

[malthaussen]

55. I dunno, but I sure-enough am an elitist snob.

An Associate's Degree is what you get if you plan on working for a living. Not if you're a rich-boy son of pampered privilege who wants to make a career of politics. It's wholly extraneous and valueless in that context. Why bother?

-- Mal

[questionseverything]

60. Insulting 65 or 70 percent of the country is not a winning formula

[malthaussen]

61. And I'm not running for anything. n/t

[questionseverything]

62. Sorry I assumed most posters on du want democrats to win, my bad

[popsdenver]

77. Has anyone checked with the state licensing

to see if he even has a Journeyman or Master's license?????? The last "Plumber" that Trump praised years ago.... didn't have either....

[barbtries]

24. i like that rant

and I like Fred Wellman.

[evolves]

25. Standing O

[BruceWane]

28. Dumbass can't even get the quote right.

The saying isn't "I will lead the breach", it's "I will stand in the breach".

It's a biblical quote (Ezekiel 22:30). Of course he would be entirely unfamiliar with it. It means to stand in the gap of a failed defense, to be willing to put your life on the line on behalf of a greater cause.

"Breach" = gap, or fracture. He's basically saying that he will lead the failure. So I suppose he could be inadvertently making an honest statement.

[malthaussen]

50. He's obviously confusing it with leading the assault on the breach...

... aka the "Forlorn Hope."

But even as I type that, I wonder if it's as obvious as I think. Maybe in his poor, overheated, confused mind, he was thinking of leading the defense of the breach. Which doesn't even have a name.

-- Mal

[Mblaze]

30. Lead the breach?

breach
/brēch/
noun
An opening, tear, or rupture.
A gap or rift, especially in a solid structure such as a dike or fortification.
A violation or infraction, as of a contract, law, legal obligation, or promise.

You are going to "lead" that? Trump already leads the legal violation of contracts, obligation or promises. Hegadeth is storming the rupture that Trump and Bibi caused.

The gap you are filling was left by Kristi Noem. I don't think you quite understand the complete inanity of your tweet.

[Smackdown2019]

34. Second grade?

This guy sounds like a second grader.... please tell me he is not a congressman or senator....

[Maru Kitteh]

35. That's your new Secretary of Homeland Security.

No, really.

[Smackdown2019]

59. Oh Lord NO!!!!

Bunch of freaking idiots!!!!! This year is going hell....

Five more years and I be able to speak my mind....

Here, I can atleast speak my mind....

[malthaussen]

54. He *was* a Senator. Junior Senator of Oklahoma. He's now the director of DHS. n/t

[Bo Zarts]

36. Bwaa-ha-ha-fucking-ha!

Markwayne can spew his military-wannabe buzzwords like a pressurized sewer line exploding, but it all blows back on him like shit hitting a fan (how's that for some crappy mixed metaphors?).

[malthaussen]

52. Hesgeth is worse, and he is supposedly in charge of the actual military.

These people have some pumped-up, Hollywood/video game idea of military service and war. Of course, it's also the vision that the media loves to promulgate. They have no concept of the difference between a soldier and a warrior, and think every one of the former should also be the latter. Yeah, there are actual military professionals who also spew the same bullshit, but most professionals must wince at such ignorant blowhards.

--- Mal

[Bob_in_VA]

68. There is a lot of confusion

with respect to the terms 'warrior' and 'soldier'. To me, the first term refers to someone who fights for his personal glory without regard to how his/her actions might affect the larger conflict. For them, it's irrelevant if their side wins or loses as long as they can point to some "glorious victory" they achieved on the battlefield. The soldier, on the other hand, is concerned with achieving victory for his/her side irrespective of their own efforts. So, for them, being tasked with hauling ammo to the front lines is just as important as the guys actually engaged in fighting. Or, to put it another way, the difference being a gloryhound versus putting your ass on the line with no thought of recognition beyond the thanks of your comrades. Or even more succinctly, the difference in George Armstrong Custer and Sgt. Alvin York.

[Skittles]

70. *SNORT*

stop it, yer killing me

[Initech]

37. This government needs to be purged of every single Murdoch stooge.

Mullin is one of the biggest out there. He only got to his position by appearing on that fucking channel every day. The biggest threat to America isn't Iran - it's Rupert Murdoch.

[gopiscrap]

41. all hat

no cattle

[democrank]

63. No hat, no cattle

Pretend tough chicken

[gopiscrap]

74. better yet

[Diamond_Dog]

42. Are all republicans batshit crazy?

[stage left]

43. Yes.

[lonely bird]

79. What have we got against bats?

Bats are calling it Trump shit crazy.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

45. .

[Six117]

46. Pinnacle of "Didn't Earn It"

This entire mal/mis-administration is a cruel pathetic joke on America.

[Wonder Why]

47. Pogo, directly from the swamp: "We have met the enemy and he is us".

[FadedMullet]

51. Certainly the most quoted of the eminently quotable Pogo comic strips. Swamp dwellers before........

......anyone proposed draining it. Nice post by you.

[malthaussen]

48. "Fucking joke" is right. The man has some kind of video game vision of war...

... and last time I looked, DHS wasn't a war-fighting organization anyway. On paper, that is.

God, these chickenhawks make me tired.

-- Mal

[vapor2]

56. Bring back integrity??? rotflmao

The only way this will happen is if everyone resigned and/or went to jail

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

57. Touche'

[liberalla]

66. Fred Wellman! I love you!

That was beautiful! I love you !!! ❤️

[Mariana]

69. ...

[markodochartaigh]

71. I cannot, in good conscience, allow this to pass.

Surely General Plumber Mullin served in the Obama-Biden War on Water Pressure. I urge you to follow the link to an official document of the US Whitehouse.

[C Moon]

73. Trying to come up with a rallying cry, i.e., "Over there!"

[Martin68]

75. The ideal Trump appointee.

[Devilsun]

76. He googled greatest lines from war flicks 🙄

[Clouds Passing]

80. Stolen valor

[Jacson6]

81. Being a plumber is sort of like serving in the military.

Both are working in sh*t up into their elbows.

(I'm a vet. I can complain.)

[LetMyPeopleVote]

83. This guy is an idiot

Link to tweet

[Heftylefty]

85. Markwayne Muffin

He's such a masculine alpha male fighter that he carries a pink rubber ball around with him as "a pacifier". How could he "lay down cover fire" without letting go of his "pacifier"? (https://www.rawstory.com/markwayne-mullin-2672502897/)
