All I ever think about when I see this goober is his interview with Jake Tapper - the one where he sat there silently, jaw agape, for what seemed like an eternity after being informed that you do not, in fact, have to swear in on the Bible.

I want someone to ask 2-name Mullin if the J6 rioters were paid protesters. A lot of them actually had buses paid for them to go to DC. I'm so sick of hearing that any protester who thinks it's not okay for armed masked thugs to cause mayhem in their cities must be paid. WTF

What a moron. He will fit right in with the rest of Trump's cabinet. He and big tough guy Hegseth should pair up.

Mullin is well liked among his colleagues. It does not speak well of the Senate and yet another reason Americans hate their government. I don’t know why anyone might expect anything other than swift confirmation.

Markwayne Mullin made a ruckus in the Senate that Bernie Sanders had to quell. I am female so guy to guy interactions are none of my business. But most guys, it seems, would be of the opinion that a man who is always on the muscle with men he doesn't know will eventually get a big comeuppance. Mullin's posturing in Senate Chambers lacked class very profoundly.

Relevant experience is not required. Trump just wants obedience.

What is disturbing is that Mullin and the GOP is ignoring that the country disagrees. The GOP may have won the election but they are delivering a hate for immigrants that the majority disagrees with. Most of us look at immigration as positive and want a fair immigration policy and system. We disagree with detention centers and Palantir, Corecivic and Geogroup and paying millions to keep good people jailed. And the children should not be jailed and treated inhumanely. Many of these people have been great workers and taxpayers - and they are our brothers. Mullin won't last long either.

This isn't about lipstick on a pig; it's about botox on the lips of the pig. For an idiot, Mullin seems to have absorbed regime talking points pretty well. This will come in handy when the masked marauders continue to do their damage in the streets of the country. Mullin's only as useful as his latest ass-kissing policies: cruelty, unaccountability and moral damage.

What credentials or experience support confirmation ?

Blair ... "told House Republicans to stop talking about “mass deportations”"

There really aren't words for these guys. Yo, buddy, take it up with that ugly bald guy in the office next to you.

How long has MwM been lobbying for DHS Sec? At least months, probably back into last summer. This guy has never spent a day in uniform but he's all about the stench of war. That's because his vision for American Carnage 2026 is so vivid. This guy is locked and loaded. The only time these fascists back off the chest thump (and lying) is when they're going in for confirmation hearings. Why? The show must go on.

Marky-Mark needs to be on the undercard for the July 4th White House Octagon. Cosplaying with WWE won't cut it. You need to at least come off the top rope stud.

Maybe Mullin will be the straw that broke the camel’s back; Republicans voting against his nomination. Any Republican who plans on running for reelection should think long and hard over what their vote means to their constituents. Vote Blue in November!

Mullin for Noem is a change in personnel and style (probably no cosplay) but no change in direction. Plus, Stephen Miller is still calling the shots.

Senators should point out to Mr. Milling that judges, juries, court bailiffs, prosecutors, prison guards all face criminals everyday and are not able to hide behind masks. If ICE agents executed their jobs as most other law enforcement do, they would not need to be concerned about being doxed.

Trump and his supporters have been doxing judges, prosecutors and many others for years. They have endangered the families of many of those they have boxed. Maybe it's just part of life in these crazy times. Why should ICE agents be exempted. Just take off the mak and wear a badge with name and ID number.

Someone needs to ask this Cherokee how he feels about ICE scooping up brothers and sisters from other Indigenous nations, apparently because their skin and hair are darker than his.
