    Ten bucks says there will be some kind of “assassination attempt” that will happen at this event.

    I had to check three times - this is not The Onion. This is real, and humor is dead.

    I wonder about the streaming rights to this. Will this be publicly broadcast?

        I’d rather UFC and paramount not get money for this.

      Of course. UFC is more a TV show than anything else.

            That’s not broadcast to the public. That would be broadcast to a select few that paid for the rights to view it. Public broadcast television is exactly that, publicly broadcast to everyone for free.

              Public broadcasting and broadcasting publicly are not the same thing.

      Seinfeld is the worst part of Seinfeld. I always thought he was so annoying and was just constantly complaining. Like dude shut up and suck it up. Also, body positivity is a good thing, so yeah go stand on the wrong side of history, Jerry.

        I think that’s the point. Jewish humour is usually self deprecating. Jerry was a miserable ass that made himself the butt of the joke

    I don’t understand all the confusion and/or guffawing.

    Bloodsport is the most apropos way to celebrate the founding of America.

      Idiocracy is one of the most unrealistic portrails of the US executive brance (the house of representin is spot on) President Dwayne Elezondo MtnDew Herbert Camacho is actually the best fictional president. He had a problem,

      • found the most qualified person to solve it.

      • listened to them (reluctantly) then.

      • didnt take much credit for it, one it was solved

      No other president would have done any of those things… Perhaps Carter.

        I’d believe that would definitely make Comancho the greatest president the US had ever seen.

    Who would have thought that the big birthday party of the most powerful nation on earth would be reduced to something like this. They threw a good national birthday party back in 1976.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
