And this guy think he's the second coming of Steven Segal:US officials 'unsure' of whereabouts of GOP congressman who went rogue to rescue people in Afghanistan: reporthttps://t.co/eTrfRxRVAJ

Mullin's efforts to travel to Afghanistan come a week after Reps. Seth Moulton (D-MA) and Peter Meijer (R-MI) also journeyed to Kabul to witness the rescue efforts and returned on a military flight, drawing criticism from congressional leaders. Unlike Moulton and Meijer, Mullin is not a veteran, with a pre-congressional career as a mixed martial artist instead.
Yeah, he's a real "hero":
"Mullin told the [Tajik] embassy that he planned to fly from Tblisi, Georgia, into Tajikistan's capital, Dushanbe, in the next few hours and needed the top diplomat's help, according to the two U.S. officials familiar with the incident, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose private conversations about a sensitive matter," reported Tayler Pager and John Hudson. "Embassy officials told Mullin they could not assist him in skirting Tajikistan's laws on cash limits on his way to visiting one of the most dangerous places on earth."
The Post's sources said that Mullin was "outraged by the response" and even threatened U.S. ambassador John Mark Pommersheim and embassy staff and "demanding to know the name of staff members he was speaking with."
According to the report, Mullin previously attempted to fly into Afghanistan through Greece, but was rebuffed by U.S. officials on that occasion as well.
When he gets in country, what does he do? Take Americans overland to the border with...Iran? Pakistan? China? This clown presents a more immediate threat to more Americans than Madison Cawthorn ever will. We don't even know where he, but he'll be grateful for the Marines to show up and haul his ass out of the trouble he gets himself into. If we can find him, and then get to him.
Maybe the Taliban will help us. They set up a secret gate at the airport to get Americans onto planes. They might be glad to get this guy out of the country. Whether we really want him back is another question.
I'd almost say it's not worth it; but that would be sinking to his level. Rather, we rescue him, then hand him the bill. He can take it up with the IRS.
His office (now) says he’s fine:
There is a lawyer representing several Jan. 6th defendants who has disappeared. Various stories have come out about him, but he’s not in a local hospital and his office phones have been disconnected. Still, the story is that he somewhere alive. But who can say, without a corpus delecti at least?Rep. Markwayne Mullin's spokesperson Meredith Blanford: "Congressman Mullin has been and is currently completely safe."

For my own humor I am taking that "Congressman has been and is currently completely safe." as code for his being institutionalized.
