(Originally appeared in The Progressive Populist) Comes today a story about Oklahoma’s 2nd District Congressman (a plumber by trade) Markwayne Mullin — and this took place before he decided to Rambo his way to Afghanistan to single-handedly save the nation’s reputation. It was dangerous, buffoonish grandstanding, but nobody ever lost an election in Oklahoma’s 2nd Congressional District by channeling his inner (or outer) Rogue Plumber/Cowboy/International Man of Cluelessness. I live in Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District — Kevin Hern, former McDonald’s maven, is my rep — so I’m 95% scar tissue before factoring in Mullin. Hern, incidentally, was one 16 GOP House members to vote against a bill to help Afghans who helped American troops because, well, who the hell knows? All of which is to say northeastern Oklahoma will be a grand place for the capital of Trumpistan, or whatever the former president names the new breakaway republic.
You know how hard it is to get a house built or renovations done these days? The world needs more plumbers who stick with plumbing and stay the f--- out of politics.
