Markwayne Mullen? Are you f'n kidding me??

In 2010, Mullin received an associate degree in construction technology from Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology. He is the only currently serving senator without at least a bachelor's degree....

2017, Mullin drew criticism when he was recorded during a town hall meeting telling his constituents that it was "bullcrap" that taxpayers pay his salary. He said, "I pay for myself. I paid enough taxes before I got here and continue to through my company to pay my own salary. This is a service. No one here pays me to go."[33] As of 2022, Mullin still collects the U.S. Congress base salary of $174,000...

August 2022, he came out against President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, but subsequently received criticism after the White House Twitter account pointed out that Mullin had benefited from $1.4 million of federal PPP loan forgiveness...

2022, Mullin introduced resolutions to remove the first and second impeachments of President Trump from the Congressional Record...

2025, Mullin voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill championed by the Trump administration after it passed the House. The bill cuts funding for Medicaid and adds a work requirement for those receiving benefits. The bill added $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and a projected $3.3 trillion to the national debt over a decade. An estimated 110,000 Oklahomans lose healthcare coverage.[81] Oklahoma doctors spoke out against the cuts to Medicaid...

Because Trump really thinks he's just president of the viewers of one news channel.

An awful lot of horrible lawyers have been involved in the criminality of various presidencies.

But a personal and professional history of helping communities, and concerns about society and major world-wide issues should be considered important. I wouldn't mind an intelligent person with no degree if they had demonstrated a commitment to serving the common people and environment.

Republicans and especially T**** are always busy “making the little king smile”, if you know what I mean.

They can’t see beyond their “little kings”.

1. He's a plumber.

2. When he was first elected to the House in 2012, he said he would serve three terms and that would be it. Then he was elected to the Senate. He obviously didn't keep his word.

3. NOBODY LIKES HIM.

Not being qualified for a position really doesn’t matter when you are highly qualified in what matters most to the boss…do you show enough praise of him.
