Somebody please explain what this means?

When I was at ND in the late 60s we were sometimes bored enough to go to pro wrestling shows in northern Indiana (including with the real Dick the Bruiser)... just to laugh at the crowds.

I am passionate about genuine athletic competitions... but hyper-masculinized men grappling in tights in scripted and phony bouts was never my gig.

And now it's on the White House lawn!

McCain's characterization of MMA as little more than "Human Cockfighting" hasn't improved much.

After all, someone like yourself - high-estrogen, effeminate, anti-2A - couldn't defend anything. How could you possibly grasp what it takes to compete in combat sports?

The confirmation on your part was unnecessary.

Unlike soft, weak people like you, I respect the guts and balls involved. I know what it's like to cut weight, train while depleted, and fight one-on-one with no one to stop it until submission or knockout with all eyes on you.

You could never understand this. But it's gutless and weak to dismiss the competitors who make the sacrifice to earn a living this way.

Every time I think I can't respect you less, you find a new bottom.

The Trump Administration reflects who we are as a nation approaching our 250th birthday: classless, shallow, undignified, and aimless.

It’s what the electorate signed up for in 2024.

This is about as much of a "genuine athletic competition" as there is.

I don't say this to question your guts or toughness- I'm sure you've got it. But if you've ever been in a ring or a cage with the objective of physically disabling or submitting another man through skill, endurance, and strength before he can do it to you, you wouldn't compare it to the W.W.E.

I always turn off whatever I'm watching when people start hitting one another on the head.

I mean this is the seat of our limited consciousness.

It's literally who we are.

It's as gross as gladiators in the Coliseum.
