Trump has no class.

Before anyone says "what does this have to do with Trump?" - This is an event hosted by Trump for his birthday using tax payer money. Admonish the fighter all you wamt but this is an environment fostered by Trump. As stated in a comment above, the fighter was probably paid to say that, with Trump in the audience, on his birthday. Probably paid him in Trump coin or something.

This is an event hosted by Trump for his birthday using tax payer money.

I still can’t fucking believe that’s legal. How is it that he gets to spend $60 million on turning the White House into white-trash trailer-park ghetto cage match on the tax payer dime.

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

Because it’s not legal, but it’s an oligarch take over so he’s getting away with it along with a many other things.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

It's not legal, but since we are ignoring subpoenas now it's fine.

who knew the secret? Just don't go

The US 1% finally went mask off and don't care what the general public thinks of them now. Trump was the permission structure that allowed it.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Trump was elected because of the permission structure.

No functioning republic would allow him past the primary. This is one of the unintended (joke) side effects of Citizens United and Super PACs, it just took a few years and billionaires are sharing the stage with Presidential victors, laughing. There's a huge amount of money behind him, and he got more "free" press than anybody ever.

Uh, wait for autonomous crowd control before it gets really mask off. Then those people fighting in cages will not do it voluntarily anymore and certainly not getting paid.

The US government has been too unrestrained for generations and it's only getting worse regardless of who is in power. The people aren't ready to do anything about it yet either.

[–] kablez@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

The people aren’t ready to do anything about it yet either.

It's kinda baffling. A country with a violent gun culture obsessed with rising up against any totalitarian government... And yet all of it is just a lie funded by the military industrial complex.

I don't see how any citizen with a gun stands a chance against drone strikes and SWAT teams. The best leverage American workers have over the rich is the same as everywhere else in the world:

  • Stop going to work.
  • Peacefully disobey the authorities.
  • Don't believe the narrative and create art.
  • Form strong local communities and alternative economies.

My 2c anyway.

Did he earn some extra Trump Coin for saying that on camera? I bet he did.

Then they're upset that nobody agrees with them "mma is an art". Just complete losers.

trump sure drags a lot of sludge around with him. He can have as many sycophants parroting him as he likes but we all know, deep down, that he knows he ain't above us, he's beneath us.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 90 points 1 day ago

Dude literally just cage matched for a pedo. Who gives a fuck what he thinks

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, this sport seems to lead to significant levels of brain damage. I mean, attending this stupid shit show in the first place, then talking stupid shit like that, all while accepting worthless Trump crypto instead of payment.

Stupidity or masochism? You decide.

Hilarious that Bud Light is a sponsor after MAGA canceled them. Everyone involved is a degenerate.

He said giddily while tightly grabbing the masculine hands of Slow Rogan.

Mannerisms don’t matter, hell I’m pretty fruity myself. But content and intent does.

Even if Michelle was, then what? Who cares.

Even as a woman she's a better man than any of these fucking losers.

Well, that's just embarrassing. And Rogan stands there grinning like a monkey. The world thinks we're stupid...because we are.
