‘He’s the coach, and we’re the players’: Senator pitches wrong metaphor on Trump, GOP In sports, players are expected to carry out coaches’ instructions. In government, Congress is supposed to be a separate branch from the White House.

In China, the party runs the government. I’m not seeing much of a difference here.
Add in Trump’s Supreme Court minions and you have an American style authoritarian/fascist-like regime. Definitely not a representative democracy.
Trump is the Conservatives’ God, we know this.
Another GOP sheep who is also a dumbass. What a shocker
Just this guy’s name screams ignorance and stupidity. Markwayne? Is he friends with Jimbob?
Only senator without a college degree continues to be a complete numbskull, resorts to sports metaphors.
The GOP is complicit in the crimes, is the deepstate, swamp, enemy from within, weaponization of government, pedophile protectors, economy killers, traitors to the American people and our allies, and etc.
Mullin has about the same IQ as trump. There should be minimum stds that you have to pass before you can even run for a seat.
The drover’s dog would have a higher IQ and be more independent than this butt licking idiot.
These dumbasses simply want to keep their jobs so they can keep grifting while in and out of office, so they kiss his ass so he doesn’t primary them. Conservative voters are such damned Lemmings they truly think Trump gives a shit about them, so they’ll vote for who he tells them to.
Hey go easy on him. He’s from Oklahoma.
It’s more like the owner of the team…..and the players he’s bought.
It’s perfect to him. The GOP in the other branches of government answers to Trump. It’s not debatable.
This idiot doesn’t understand how our government is designed to function. The President isn’t king. He’s a public servant.
I think he meant to say he’s the Pitcher and we’re all catchers.
Markwayne Mullin is dumb as hell, and I can’t shake the feeling that this man has some absolutely gnarly skeletons in his closet.
It’s a lack of Senate leadership that makes them go elsewhere. Their constituents are the team owners, and their contracts are almost up.
He’s speaking as a contrite cult member.
The traditional Roman dictatorship was a condition of state that was bestowed by the senate upon the Consul. Likewise, when the US Senate refused to impeach Trump, he was granted a de facto dictatorship by removing all checks on his power despite his naked corruption.
Congress is simply a non-factor right now. They relinquished their authority
This guy is dumb as a rock. When he speaks, nobody with an IQ over 10 listens. The same as with Trump.
There have been times in US history when Congress has been strong and the executive branch weak. It’s not inconceivable that could happy again (if we survive Trump et al).
How fitting he uses this metaphor. Considering the way idiots like him played a role in turning American politics into a sporting event.
He’s the cock and we are the suckers. That’s what he was trying to say.
Yeah. It is basic civics. It isn’t sports.
They’re not only supposed to be a separate branch. They’re supposed to question what the presideent does and advise, before giving consent.
Imagine that, MarKwanYe doesn’t know how the branches of government are supposed to work.
>Senator pitches wrong metaphor on Trump
No. He was 100% correct, and he is telling on himself and the GOP as a whole. They have abdicated their power to kiss the boot of the Trump dictatorship.
The GOP is 100% complicit in the destruction of US Democracy.
As a plumber Markwayne should know shit rolls downhill.
He meant what he said.
Coaches would normally get fired if they were doing as terrible of a job as Trump
Sport is a game of entertainment that is sometimes, but not always competitive, with various levels of direct and indirect incentive.
This is not a game, you are not being paid for entertainment purposes. The government are civil servants, not athletes or coaches. Not even the front office.
Even if this metaphor worked, what coach leads their team to hurt the fans (this includes all citizens, not just the boot licking ones that think this is a way to win).
