      This gonna be the real “jumping the shark” moment.

      That was right after the peak of Happy Days, that was when it got so ridiculous that it was undeniably a shadow of it’s former self.

      Just like how they thought Fonzi jumping a shark would be cool, they think this will be cool.

      But they’re gonna fuck it up, and it’s gonna be a cringe fest.

      As disappointing as it is, this will have a significant effect right before midterms.

        here’s the problem with that… the salary for most offices is abysmally small. Like, poverty line. So, who can afford to run for office? People who already have wealth and a safe income. You can’t just quit your job to run for local office when it pays $15K yearly.

    I mean, I get it, Steven Seagal isn’t available because he’s playing grab-ass with Jcvd in Russia.

    You make due with with what you got.

    There are subsets of BJJ created specifically to help law enforcement subdue and cuff a suspect. But that’s not what MMA fighters know. It’s substantially different.

    Kash Patel is a UFC fanboy.

    Just like everyone else on the admin payroll, he is just using the position as his personal entertainment budget and holiday fund

    Next he’ll pay George Lucas to come visit him to “advise on Star Wars defence systems” while he gets his collectibles signed.

      It’s fucking wild that right after attacking the largest support of global terrorism, they’re holding this event at the WH and you know security will be a shitshow.

      I’ll be shocked if it’s not attacked

          I’m kind of hoping the rest of the world wakes up and realizes that sending teams to the US to compete right now us just as bad as sending teams to Russia. The world should boycott it, and let the US claim its trophy after the Saudis field the only other team.

        Largest supporter? I would have thought that was Saudi. Most of the groups US were fighting or dealing with originated from strict Sunni groups. Iran was working against many of those groups.

      That’s already happened. Ronald Reagan was a big fan of SciFi and created a think tank of SciFi authors to advise him on potential threats of the future.

    So are the bad guys also supposed to attend this training as well so everyone’s on the same page? Like, what do they do with the other person has a gun, or is actually fighting to win rather than to be entertaining.

    Might as well get Hugh Laurie to teach medical students.

    Train them to… what? Get their shins instantly broken by someone with capped boots and realise real fights don’t have rules like UFC does? Cops have guns and tasers and stuff because they’ve already learned this won’t work.
