  • The man pictured being arrested is Sean Strickland, a current champion of his weight class in the UFC. He was supposed to attend the event as a spectator, but had his invitation revoked about a week ago due to publicly criticizing Israeli genocide and Israel’s control over US politics. (It’s unclear whether Strickland has a meaningful moral compass or if he is simply reading the room and saying what he can for social media engagement, my guess is the latter but that’s aside from the point.) Strickland decided not to waste his flight ticket and went to the event anyway as a form of protest, showed up and started riling the crowd up a bit before the event started, and then got arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

    As someone else pointed out he wasn’t actually wearing the Epstein shirt, but he has criticized the Epstein coverup in addition to Israeli meddling recently.








  • The way he answered the question, translated to English from dipshit, sounded to me like he was trying to say he likes where the number is and thinks it’s healthy for the economy; ie, downplaying fears.

    The actual response just comes off as completely out of touch though, which he is. It’s also something no sane politician would dream of saying under any circumstances.

    I too am looking forward to the ensuing mental gymnastics by the sycophants and pundits to try and spin this one. Frankly I don’t think it matters - Israel isn’t letting him pull out of the war, and staying in it will absolutely wreck the economy. I predict that once that pain extends to the oligarchs in any meaningful way, Trump will perish under mysterious circumstances explained away by old age and bad health. Then Vance can begin his run in earnest by trying to pump the brakes on Israeli colonization and land theft. Good luck to him I guess, he’s gonna need it.



  • Oh for sure. It’s a sad process to watch unfold, because even that bought loyalty will never be enough for Trump. He can and will dumpster anyone in his orbit as soon as it’s convenient, often ruining their lives. Michael Cohen, mypillow guy, Jeffrey Epstein…the list is quite long this is just to name a few. Just desserts I suppose, but what a terrible waste and awful way to live life.




  • Yeah they’re trying to go after Platner for alleged sexting too. Still trying to Anthony Weiner style cancel these politicians, when we literally have Mr. “grab em by the pussy”, convicted and not just hearsay mind you, elected twice. The moral right is as ridiculous as it is hypocritical, who gives a shit.

    If their partners have a problem with it then that’s between them to figure out, I don’t see how it affects their politics at all. Certainly didn’t matter for notorious playboy JFK, and doesn’t matter with convicted orange rapist either.
