I’d thought I’d never admit this but we’d be better off with Kristi Noem as the Secretary of the Homeland Security. But she’s on her way out and her possibly replacement isn’t any better by a longshot.
Since he became a U.S. Senator after three terms in the House of Representative, Markwayne Mullin has been walking around Capitol Hill like O’Bannion from Dazed and Confused. He thinks he’s a badass and constantly trying to start fights with people he knows he can’t win. It’s always the short guys too. At 5-foot-8, he’s the same height as Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson and just as pompous as they are.
He’s tried to start fight with Teamsters from the Boston area, which is basically suicide. He’s tried to start fights with Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Al Green. At the same time, he cried like a baby when saying Americans weren’t praising the President enough for starting an illegal war with Iran. The fact that both Mullin, Noem and Trump all look ridiculous wearing cowboy hats makes me wonder if this isn’t some Traveling Pants-style group thing.
But yes, the man who cowered down as Jan. 6 rioters tried to break into the Chamber thinks he can oversee Homeland Security. I mean, the look on his face says it all. He knew they didn’t know him from Adam and they were going to jerk a knot in his tail if he was lucky. Otherwise he would’ve been hanging next to Mike Pence outside the Capitol Building. None of these MAGA/Jan. 6 rioters know who’s who.
He also said some of the rioters and domestic terrorists deserved to be pardoned. I’m sure he wouldn’t have been saying that had the chamber been breached and he was physically assaulted or worse, killed. I mean, what the fuck was he doing there? He didn’t have a firearm or even a knife on his person. And typical of a lot of MMA fighters, they think they’re badasses.
But even more funny is that Mullin canceled a town hall meeting at Tahlequah-Sequoyah High School in 2017 citing safety concerns. Safety concerns? They have the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service, Tahlequah Police Department, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office and even Oklahoma Highway Patrol all who could be available.
Mullin is just scared of dealing with his constituents unless they are donating money to his campaign. They even had to reprimand him because he kept doing commercials for his company, Mullin Plumbing after being sworn in.
Like a lot of politicians, he says keywords like “traditional values,” “conservatism,” “Christianity,” “woke,” and “Obama” and people cream in their pants while going to vote for him.
He’s not due to take over until the end of the month if he gets approved. I know he didn’t get the job because a plumber (while a noble and honest job for any person) has little knowledge of criminal justice and law procedures to up hold the position. He doesn’t even have a bachelor’s degree. He received an honorary doctorate from Bacone College in Muskogee which was closed down in 2025 because they wouldn’t pay their bills.
But let’s be honest, Trump doesn’t choose people who are qualified, just people who are loyal to him. There’s even reports from his first term that he was quick to appoint anyone even if it was someone he was sitting next to on Air Force One. It seems almost fitting Mullin has participation trophy from a college that no longer exists in BFE Oklahoma.
He only got the appointment because he’s licked Trump’s boots enough and brown nosed him so much that even if he lives to be 109, he will never smell things the same way ever again. Or may he smelt too much methane and sewer gases that he’s lost his senses and can’t tell how bad it is.
That’s if he gets the job. After what has happened following the primaries, it isn’t the time to be too supportive of the Presidency.
What do you think? Please comment.
