    It might be due to the fact that I have self awareness, but I would kill myself if I ever said something that stupid.

      How about if the Mars rover took a picture of the flag planted by Neil Armstrong?

      It’s 1000x harder to certify as a hairdresser than get elected into government.

    Is Rubio genuinely comparing the moon landings, which is one of humanity’s highest achievements, to UFC fighting?

    Did he hit his head on something?

      Bro is doing like 5 cabinet jobs right now, and Marco Rubio will never be president. Say that to his face if you want to make the poor little scamp sad.

          What’s interesting to me is that you look at him these days he looks miserable. Like he genuinely hates what he’s doing. All the idealism he had before has been sucked right out along with his soul. But clearly he still thinks if he just gets through it will all have been worth it.

            I think that sums up a lot of MAGA. They sorta hitched their wagon to a candidate expecting trickle down benefits. Now they’re stuck with no reward and all the consequences, but they can’t get off the ride because if they do they’ll be accountable. It’s Rommel 2.0. You enabled a POS, you were allowed to be a POS, you recognize the POS you’ve enabled is beyond your control. Do your duty, undermine and remove them, or die.

                I have a theory about why Vance was picked. If the Epstein files became something that actually would have resulted in Trump getting impeached, Vance is likely not in them and would be allowed to take over the presidency as puppet. As it’s become appearant that nothing is going to come of the files, or any of his actions really, Vance sorta faded away. He is also rather incompetent, a poor speaker, and doesn’t have the bombast to be Trump’s replacement so I can see why they brushed him aside.

                  it was discussed on another “site” yea he was likely picked to slow dripped the epstein files. of course you cant ignore that thiel is heavily involved with vance, i wouldnt be surprised if hes the one telling vance went to make noise or not.

      You’re right, this is almost more impressive. Did you see the arena? It’s probably as big as a rocket, I think, maybe. That makes it way more impressive.

    in John f Kennedy’s voice “We choose to go to watch these men beat the shit out of each other not because it is easy, but because it makes the president hard”

    Yup totally like the moon landing.

    Ah yes that very American invention of MMA.

    The sport that began when a Belgium taught a bunch of Japanese people an English wrestling style.

    We put two men in a ring and let them beat each other up. We did it America! We won!

    Now go pack your things up as we are done here. This is what true success is. Congratulations.

      I’ve heard the secret service had some interesting run-ins with a drunken Boris Yeltsin back when he used to stay there, so…maybe?

      Currently sitting in my bathroom on my rear, naked, choking on tears and pissing myself because I can’t afford groceries. America FTW!

    Yes, organized fighting certainly is new, and they certainly didn’t build some of the most impressive structures millenia ago to facilitate it, nope.

    UFC is founded on having bum fights, it technically is pretty much a bum fight co-opting martial arts of other cultures.
