    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.

        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.

        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.

    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.

      A labor leader with 18 years in union administration has admittedly probably gotten soft, but I got 10 on a teamster every time.

        Nah they're probably, like, training in secret to be a badass old person, Iroh style, so they can specifically do violence. I choose to believe!

    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

      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.

    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.

      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

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