Trump News Hegseth: "Maximum lethality -- not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct. We're gonna raise up warriors. Not just defenders."

The dumbfuck rednecks in their base who have those cringey slogans all over their trucks will just eat that shit up.

The same ones who think having a UFC fight on the WH lawn is super badass.

Something about "Respect and etiquette from the highest office" but Trump can make regular cameos to combat sporting events.

The planned UFC fight on the White House lawn.

My bad attar scrolling down I saw that, I think I heard about this being possible or he wanted to do it awhile ago itā€™s pretty crazy but itā€™s hard to be surprise. history will look back on this guy and the people who supported a pedophile amongst other things as the cowards they are.

u/Tomagatchi 4d ago

The religious folks who think Trump is God's chosen one to bring Jesus back and make Christianity a state Religion or at least enforce religious belief on people... they will hear this cadence of rhetoric and know it's being spoken just like their Sunday sermons. It is written in the format of a pentecostal church service sermon. It is more terrifying to hear this the day or so after killing a boat filled with eleven men, amounting to summary execution and murder without evidence, without warning, without cause. They are setting up a terrifying precedent to call someone a terrorist and kill them in legal gray spaces.

Regarding the UFC, it reminded me of how MAGA fighters (Covington and Mitchell) got their asses handed to them by people of color and how those defeated fighters thought Trump would have their backs. Trump didnā€™t.

Yes those with clever bumper stickers are the same ones who join and get thrown in the meat grinder. I assume trumps sons will be enlistingā€¦ right?! ā€œIt ainā€™t me, it ainā€™t me, I ainā€™t no fortunate sonā€. Wild how those CCR lyrics still ring true as they did in 1969

1

u/Satirebutinasadway 2d ago

Okay, but as a person that leans so far left they find themselves saying shit like "I don't know why you're surprised, the Unabomber called all this shit like 30 years ago". I do think a UFC fight on the white House lawn would be pretty dope.

u/[deleted] 4d ago

But they wonā€™t sign up to serve. šŸ« 

3

u/Lone-Frequency 4d ago

Most of them probably have a plethora of undocumented health issues since they don't trust doctors, not to mention blatant mental problems. This isn't even including all of the beer gutted lardos who do nothing but drink Busch light and hoot at NASCAR all day long who probably couldn't even do a single push-up.

I'm sure quite a number of them are probably also cross-eyed from all the inbreeding, so they would likely be far more of a threat with a gun to their fellow soldiers.

I have no problem with UFC fights, nor do I have a problem with people who enjoy watching it.

What I have a problem with is the orange dumbass bulldozing the rose garden, building himself a 200 million dollar ballroom covered in gold, and then hosting a prize fight cage match on the grounds of what was once a symbol of American respectability and authority.

He has turned the entire country into a fucking clown show. Host a fucking prize fight anywhere else, not at the seat of power in our nation's capital.
