Markwayne called Rand Paul a �freaking snake� last week and said he supported his neighbor beating the crap out of him. Let�s see who the chair of the Senate Homeland Security committee is�oh goody it�s Rand Paul.

And she's out, not even an hour later.

Trump is presenting Mullin's appointment as automatic, but he still has to go through Senate confirmation hearings like everyone else. They're usually deferential to their colleagues, but I think this guy for this post in this election year might prompt issues

Yeah, this is a pretty good indication she's on the way out.

Markwayne Mullin will be even more incompetent, but his confirmation hearings should be hilarious at least.
