made-it-the-fuck-up I didn't inject myself full of nanomachines to not challenge people to fights!

Obvious childish BS aside, this is cowardly as fuck. If any person hits a senator they're gonna get fucked legally somehow. It's like an NCO or officer in the military challenging a private to hit him. Even if you win, you lose. Cowardly shit. Would be a shame if he got Rand Paul'd.

Bring back duels on the senate floor.

We're currentl 0:1 in favor of slaver shits. We need a chance to even the score.

Honestly the chance to beat another senator to death with a cane is the only reason I'd even want to be one

Plus all the senators are fascist now so I could just close my eyes and swing away

On the other hand, the last political duel ever was won by a socialist, so we've got that

Would be a shame if he got Rand Pauled

What happened to that dipshit?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago

Rand was a bad neighbor and got the shit kicked outta him. Then his neighbor (the ass kicker) had his punishment increased because Rand’s a whiny little bitch with strong political connections.

Rand Paul's neighbor assaulted him with suburban rage over Rand's sticks being on his side of the property line. Broke a couple of his ribs, but because Rand's a senator he got sentenced to like a year in prison.

Didn't Rand also lose hearing in one ear?

Bet he didn't hear that coming

I think that gives the idea enough.

Rand pissed off his neighbor somehow and his neighbor beat his ass. Broke a rib apparently.

Rand, being the omega pussy he is, allowed prosecutors to slam the neighbor with a felony for "hitting a congressman" even though the assbeating was purely for personal, not ideological, reasons. Rand Paul is a sack of dogshit who happily weaponizing state violence: no surprise.

Rand wouldn't stop dumping lawn trimmings on his neighbors lawn so his neighbor beat his ass and then the rugged individualist libertarian got the government to charge his neighbor charged with political violence for defending his property rights.

Sucks for his neighbor but you couldn't ask for better proof that literally everything they claim to believe is horseshit.

Neighbor punched him a few years ago

There's a line that Sean O'brien frequently says: "Fighting for workers is a full-contact sport". He says it to conclude his speeches and he has it in his twitter bio.

Despite it being a clear violation of labor law, he's been on record advocating for "boston pickets"

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

boston pickets

Never heard that term, but based on what some of my family in Local 25 have to say about O'Brien, I assume it means getting physical?

Hell yeah. Labor Law is bullshit.

When I go to jail, my indictment will have the words "temporary injunction" and "tresspass" on it

Historically, challenging the Teamsters to a fight doesn't end well for whoever challenged the Teamsters too a fight. Hope you didn't need those kneecaps

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Teamsters don't fuck around. They had our backs when we did a strike years ago. Company caved once the Teamsters got involved. Love them forever.

Bernie: "Gentlemen! You can't fight in here! This is the war room!!!"

Sean O'brien

union-man

willing to fight a Klingon on the picket line

e: also this would be a great UFC promotional match, O'brien's proceeds could go to the union coffers even, probably the only way for this to go down without some federal charges

ee:

sicko-wistful

After continued back-and-forth on social media between the two after the original March incident, Sen. Mullin challenged the Teamsters president to a charity MMA fight. "MMA fight for charity of our choice. Sept 30 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'll give you 3 days to accept,” Mullin tweeted.

Bernie: CIVILITY!! NORM!!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Sean O'Brein is from Medford and was born into an Irish Catholic Teamsters family. I have family in Local 25, them boys can scrap.

2016 Bernie would have told O'brien to stand down because assaulting a US Senator is a Federal felony. Then he would have said, "I'll do it" and bludgeoned the shit out of Mullin with a podium, Via Getty style. punished-bernie

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

No, no, I want to see some asshole whose entire career is selling skidoos take on the champion of the Teamsters. Let them cook.

I'm high and mixed up who challenged who at first, I'm glad I reread the title before commenting "based"
