    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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

          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.

        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.

        Any rule (legal, moral, social) is only ever worth as much as its enforcement. Beyond that, it’s a mere suggestion. If people obey him, whether his commands are legal is academical. They certainly are effective.

        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.

          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.

    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.

    This really is disgusting and goes back to a general question for all Americans. Around the world politicians and celebrities by and large strive to represent the best of the nation they are from regardless of where on the political spectrum they lean.

    Do you feel this best represents you as an American? When you want the world to think of America do you want them to think “they think black people are apes and black women look like men”? Does a man say “Grab women by the pussy” and that’s a valid opinion? Is it acceptable for men to rape children?

    You don’t need to answer. It’s rhetorical. You all made your choice it is what you think.

    If you voted for him or didn’t vote, or voted Republicans in general, listen to Rogan, watch UFC, etc. Get your shit together. We are all laughing at you not with you.

            It’s almost like you are purposely trying to negate gerrymandering and the many reasons why people don’t/can’t vote which does not mean they support or agree with something. The world and choices are grey. Always has been. So, can you, and others, stop with the black and white camps you paint the world (or the US) in?

            Less than half of the population got Trump elected.

              Less than a third, actually. There are ~244m eligible voters and ~77m Trump ballots in the popular vote. I voted for Harris and my state went blue, but the armchair revolutionists are going to keep telling me to do “something” about it like I swore him in personally. Dummies gonna dum.

                You’re correct. I didn’t want to get that specific, but it’s an even better point than the less than half that I said. I also voted for Harris and have been part of groups that combat ICE and help those in need locally.

      What obviously instantly gets me about the “grab em by the pussy” is this and other brags is not just “locker talk”…he’s literally admitting and bragging about sexually assaulting women. “When you’re a star they let you do it”… Like i guess im preaching to the choir but to me is super easy to draw the line at someone overtly proud of sexually assaulting women.

      I’m listening to alot of Norm Macdonald and a popular joke is about Bill Cosby being a hypocrite and how most rapists are hypocrite…Meanwhile we have a president who’s literally open about his abuse of women and thats not a dealbreaker for Christians - he’s actually sent by god somehow.

        That line is what immediately turned me off of Trump and the vast majority of Americans. The fact that didn’t bury his political career speaks volumes on the nation the level of acceptance of that type of behaviour.

        Politics aside, that is a disgusting human being to be able to say that like it’s cool, lockeroom or not. Yet here we are.
