MAKE AMERICA FIGHT AGAIN: Oklahoma’s menacing GOP Senator Markwayne (yes, one word) Mullins flaunted his neanderthal chops by threatening to brawl with a labor union boss during a Senate committee hearing and forced an adult in the room, Sen. Bernie Sanders, to break up the heated exchange.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) almost got into a fistfight with Teamsters President Sean O’Brien during a hearing Tuesday on labor unions. “You want to run your mouth? We can be two consenting adults, we can finish it here,” Sen. Mullin said to Mr. O’Brien. “Okay, that’s fine, perfect. I’d love to do it right now,” Mr. O’Brien replied. “Then stand your butt up then,” the senator said. “You stand your butt up,” Mr. O’Brien shot back. Sen. Mullin then stood up from the dais and began to move toward Mr. O’Brien, prompting Senate HELP Committee Chair Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to intervene. “No, no, sit down! Sit down! You’re a United States senator!” Sen. Sanders shouted. Sen. Mullin and Mr. O’Brien then bickered throughout the remainder of Sen. Mullin’s question time.

LIFE ON THE MAGA LIST: During an appearance on Mary Trump‘s podcast, Queen Kathy Griffin didn’t hold back on how the one-term, twice impeached, four-time indicted, disgraced ex-president tried to destroy her & FAILED.
How do you SURVIVE Donald fatigue?
Tonight legendary comedian Kathy Griffin and I have a RAW, INTRIGUING and often FUNNY discussion on the personal impact Donald has had on Kathy’s life, how she’s bounced back, and keeps on fighting.
How in godz name is Randy Rainbow going to choose from this vast array of cultured and civilized neanderthals also known as a pack of right wing ”conservative” jerk offs.
Hurry Randy! It’s a wide open field. Do the biter from the south and the fat fibber from the north.
She is an amazing production, daughter of Indian immigrants, her name is Nimarata Ramdhara, and following the practice of millions of East European, Jewish and Hispanic immigrants in the 19th-20th Century, she must be deliberately “rebranding” herself as the Next Great White Hope! First, her nickname of Nikki replaced Nimarata, and her married name of Haley promptly replaced Ramhara. I thought that it was no longer I thought that the overt anti-Anglo prejudice of a century ago would have made it obsolete for Steins to become “Kings”, and Patrowicz to become Paltrow, and Issur Danielovitch to change his name to “Kirk Douglas”. Did Martin Sheen really have to change his name from Estevez to Sheen for his success, or Raquel Tejada to become “Raquel Welch”?
Even if they had, surely the “ancestral pride” and authenticity could have persuaded Americans with invented last names to reclaim their historic names in the 21st Century?
Obvious, to appeal to “Republican” voters, one has to whitewash one’s image. So, Ms Ramdhara seems to be a heavy user of skin whitening makeup, a form of self-hate exhibited by some visible “minorities”. Has she even one recorded speech in Punjabi or Hindi, most likely her first spoken language being not English? There are several millions “South Asians” in the US today, and you would think that appealing to any segment would be politically useful.
However, this is not a uniquely American phenomenon. The British Royal dynasties have been entirely Germanic since the establishment of the U.K. in 1707, with prior monarchs or spouses being non-Anglophone European Protestants as of the 16th Century (when British Parliament kicked out the Pope’s clergy).
* The Haus of Hanover was on the throne until 1901 when Queen Victoria died. All of the Hanoverian monarch first spoke a form of German before learning English. Even Victoria had a mother, nanny, half her grandparents (to be checked) AND husband were all Germanophones. It is odd that she became to symbolise all things British – when precious little of her ancestry traced back to England, Scotland or Wales.
* Then the Haus of Saxe-Coburg-und-Gotha dynasty was on the London throne from 1901 until 2022 when QEII died.
* Lastly, King Charles III inthronation marks the start of the Haus of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, the birth ancestral name of Prince Charles.
Yet, WWI and WWII had such anti-German sentiment that in 1917, three years into WWI, the then British monarch changed his name to “Windsor”, the location of near London castle. He also “encouraged” other German aristocrats in Britain to also anglicize names.
Prince Philip of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg started “courting” Princess Elizabeth when she was only 13, and upon naturalization to a British citizen post WWII, he also took an invented anglicized name based on his grandmother’s name of Battenburg, which then changed to “Mountbatten”.
So, I can understand why non-Anglo immigrants may have found it to be an existential necessity to hide their non-Anglo ancestry until even the 1960s, but it just smacks, today, 2023, of an unfounded explanation for “whitewashing” one’s ancestry.
You almost can imaging that some visible (or cultural) minorities are so brainwashed into seeking “approval” from an imagined homogenous Anglo / White majority, while it is more likely that they have internalized self-hate, much like the Jewish skinhead who beats up “minorities” in a gang while taking great care to hide his Jewish ancestry.
@ Gadfeal
Lots of interesting facts, thanks.
But in this age of phalloplasty and double mastectomies, anglicizing a name seems like small potatoes.
Besides, look at Viveck. He goes by his actual name and is certainly the most dangerous freak in the bunch.
DeSantis should quit worrying about guys in drag and worry about the the new speaker who’s relationship with his 17 year old son is decidedly unhealthy .

Buying pornography is not the same as “a shopping blitz of gay sex workers”. I feel like a queer journalist should know the difference…

Surely lying by saying “I don’t remember” is just as much perjury as any other form of lie ! or is this an American thing ?
