It's probably a good thing that he got his ass kicked in a ring, because telling a crowd of Canadians that they're no good at hockey sounds a hell of a lot more dangerous.
There is nothing that ruins a nice meal in a sports bar-esque restaurant than glancing up to see 2 young men giving each other multiple concussions with bloodied fists . Yuck 🤢
Ta, Andrew. I recognize that there are references to The West Wing sprinkled throughout this piece, but I have never seen that show. I'm just going to guess that they're spot on. JT is a Canadian national treasure, no mater what the MAGATs spew.
There's this great piece by The Young Turks about the intentional radicalization of the UFC by Dana White, so this tarzan goof is obviously in it. The most astounding thing to me is that their announcer (not Rogan) started getting death threats because "fans" didn't like the judges' decision in one of the fights...?! Just another grotesque, cynical macho death cult to rake in the bucks.
I have my own issues with Trudeau, but it’s been interesting watching right-wing troglodytes consistently underestimate him since he went into politics. And I just laugh my ass off at the MAGAts pretending he’s some kind of iron-fisted dictator. IMO Trudeau would be more effective if he occasionally channeled some of his old man’s legendary arrogance, but that’s a whole other discussion.
Nothing about Matthew Perry suprises me. Like with Roseanne, I just ended up with this weird vibe about them that turned me off the shows that they starred in. It could have been that my partner was emotionally ill a lot and I was hypervigilant about cues.
The stupid money that they throw at TV shows is well and truly to blame for all of this. And it's not even to bring us quality entertainment, it's to pad out the bits between the ads that keep us on the same TV station. Ugghhhh.....
Some insight into Sean Strickland: I've posted about him before, after he first started racking up wins and becoming popular. He's talked about his own upbringing, which was ugly and full of violence and hatred. He was basically a shitty neo-Nazi kid until he realized that his racist grandfather was a piece of shit just like his wifebeating father and disavowed those beliefs. He has tried to present himself as a role model for kids like him who are currently hooked on the Andrew Tates of the world. That's admirable, but of course not great because he's still a bigoted asshole who is now spreading the worst kinds of anti-LGBTQ bile that you can imagine. Oh well, the same night that he lost his title, Raquel Pennington and Mayra Bueno-Silva, both lesbians, fought for a belt vacated by the greatest female fighter of all time, who is also a lesbian. Hope he learned something, but I doubt it.
"Strickland, who looks a bit like if Ted Cruz and a bullet somehow made a baby"
Still a nicer description than he deserves.
"“I didn't take the cowards [sic] way out and tell the doctor I couldn't see and got [sic] a no contest,” a stricken Strickland wrote on Instagram shortly afterwards. “The only reason why you took a round from me is because I couldn't see. I won that fight, the world knows I won that fight.”
It's not so much that MAGAts make excuses it's that they're so BAD at it.
"The spectacle of a wealthy white guy WHO WAS ON THE SIDE THAT FAVORS EQUALITY AND HUMANE POLICIES knocking an Indigenous person FROM THE PARTY OF WEALTHY WHITE GUYS senseless en route to ruling the country "
There - fixed it.
Seriously, are we so kneejerk on identity issues that what people actually do doesn't matter?
Also Brazeau was later convicted of…I think assault? I think domestic but don’t quote me? Very troubled dude, much asshole.
Whereas Trudeau, who appears to have been cheated on by the former missus, is now swapping houses with her, one week off, one on, and vacationing together as they coparent.
"Come back to what you used to be.”
French?
"international cockfighting ring" LOL!
A perfect description.
Waiting for "MMA expert" Sean Hannity to weigh in on this fight...

Where does Strickland get his axilla hair done ?
Walmart.

I hope we're paying this guy in real money!

He’s eaten three Tory leaders by now. You’d think they’d quit underestimating him but they keep falling for that crap every. Single. Time.
Right? You'd think they might try something new since "Justin Trudeau sucks" hasn't gotten them anywhere. But they keep going back to that well...

His life is still devoted to ugliness and full of violence. Only he makes money from it.

assault AND possession of coke
Thx for correcting me! In my defence I am from SK so it gets hard to differentiate between jailed Tories we had so many go to jail.
Here’s what you do
Dilbert has to go several bone crushing rounds w the South African guy
Tarzan has to sit through high school again
JP has to write a funny comic strip every week
