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 9 points 2 days 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.

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.

[–] kossa@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

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

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

who knew the secret? Just don't go

the idiots in idiocracy are innocent and a bit endearing.

these idiots are s tier arse holes.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 52 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

These idiots aren't plain idiots. They're the sociopaths, psychopaths, and pedophiles of society, who naturally gravitate towards the authoritarianism/fascism of white nationalist religious extremism.

They're the domestic enemies the cops and military were supposed to fight against, but didn't because they're also filled with sociopaths and psychopaths who naturally gravitate towards fascism, lol.

People really need to start adding "overt", "unfettered", "rampant" or "criminally insane" before "racism", as qualifiers to this take.

“Melania Trump was a prostitute for Epstein.”

There both sides can do it. Only our side is factual.

Has anyone checked to see if this POS put a bet on Polymarket to the effect of "one of the fighters will say Michelle Obama is a man"?

For the record, I hate this timeline. At least Idiocracy had some charm.

what is this “Michelle Obama is a man” obsession?

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 81 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Remember that the GOP and its base are so incredibly racist, that the fact we ever had a black president is quite literally traumatic to these buffoons.

They quite literally still cry about it and shake in fear every day, especially knowing it could theoretically happen again.

The real question is how are there still so many dipshits in America who aren't MAGA but still can't see its 10000000% a white supremacist movement.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 45 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

They have to add on that obviously Obama was not just black, and not just half black and half white, but he was also a foreigner, he was also Islamic, he was also married to a trans woman, that his kids were manchurian candidates specially trained by some sort of secret three-letter government agency in another country to destroy America and he was also some secret agent....

The stories they have made up about Obama elevate him far beyond the level of mythical. Their brains simply will not accept that he simply won the vote.

They have to wrap so many levels on top of it. It must have been a conspiracy. Otherwise, how could a black man have become president?

When you say, hey, you know, maybe it's a little racist to think this way. They go, oh, I'm not fucking racist. The guy works for the devil, that's all.

That fuse in their brain has been permanently short-circuited.

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

How would you even apply satire to this caricature of a man?

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (6 children)

Have him say something intelligent

I think about this often. The Onion can't hit it anymore, and all they'd need to do would be to write stories about Trump donating to children or reading books to elderly or basically anything make a wish foundation or your local superhero teacher does. Or, just copy anything that he's actually doing, but since it's the onion, people would be shook to anger by reality but laugh at the cleverness and saddened by the pain.

Does he just randomly say this out of the blue? Or what kind of contrived prompt is used to steer down this path of dialogue?

Id bet the trump administration/trump himself told him to say that, and he'd get something for it. Be it money or something else.

I watched it. This was the post-fight, in-the-octagon interview. He just said it to capture headlines. The cameras then panned out to the huge crowd full of shirtless morons whooping it up.

This is worse than Idiocracy.

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.

Is that a compliment since being a woman is "bad" and everyone knows that being married to a woman makes you gay (per Andrew tate).

So from that perspective they may be complimenting the Obamas. 😅

Who can know these things.
