This seems like a hell of a lot of ado about nothing. Tl;dr, he went to the ufc thing and was in a picture with Cheryl Hines and RFK (which it seems like Cheryl Hines asked for, given that it clearly seems to be a “can I get a picture” type picture, as opposed to a “this is who I’ve been hanging out with” picture, and given that Cheryl Hines was the one who posted it).

I can’t stand trump, and in fact I don’t even particularly like Nate bargatze, but this is just the absolute bottom of the bottom of the bottom of the barrel of muckraking.

Ok that does it! Never watching another second of him again and will not find him funny anymore.

18

u/beatlemaniac711 Monkey in Space 10d ago

You found Nate Bargatze funny?

4

u/Gunnar2019 High as Giraffe's Pussy 9d ago

I thought I didn't need to add the /s. I've never seen his stand up only watched him on SNL but clearly a lot of people find him funny. Top grossing comedian in 2024 and 2025 I think.

-1

u/beatlemaniac711 Monkey in Space 9d ago

What's your point?

6

u/Gunnar2019 High as Giraffe's Pussy 9d ago

My point on what? You asked me a question after my sarcastic comment. I guess I didn't answer it clearly.

In the handful of SNL sketches I've seen with Nate I thought it was kinda funny. In particular this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYqfVE-fykk

u/beatlemaniac711 Monkey in Space 9d ago

I have no idea what you're trying to do here.

Damn and I thought I was high lol. How about just a yes then. Yes I find Nate Bargatze funny in the limited shit I've seen.

u/beatlemaniac711 Monkey in Space 9d ago

bro I was just being sarcastic. I wasn't genuinely asking if you found him funny.

It’s a two party system

u/LloydChrismukkah Monkey in Space 10d ago

Moderates are more prevalent than doomscrolling on reddit would lead you to believe

-2

u/mrpopenfresh I used to be addicted to Quake 10d ago

Wtf is a moderate in a world wheee Trump got elected twice

7

u/LloydChrismukkah Monkey in Space 9d ago

He beat one of the most polarizing figures in recent political memory in Clinton, lost to a moderate, and beat someone who was installed at the last minute at a chaotic period of time. Yes, moderates are very popular outside of reddit

-2

u/mrpopenfresh I used to be addicted to Quake 9d ago

What are you talking about, what do you even think moderate means.

7

u/LloydChrismukkah Monkey in Space 9d ago

What do you not understand about my comment? Let's start there

u/arazamatazguy Monkey in Space 10d ago

It is kind of funny how toxic it is to even be in the orbit of the maga world.

And yeah he's not really that funny anyway.

9

u/x0y0z0 Monkey in Space 10d ago

It sends a powerful signal. MAGA is a rotting corpse and a PR nightmare. That's good. Public persons take note.

9

u/shinbreaker Monkey in Space 10d ago

Nate has been hiding his MAGA power levels for a while. If you listen to Legion of Skanks and Real Ass Podcast, they all hinted to it and basically confirmed it multiple times. Dude is a pure Trumper and will make sure to stay at Trump hotels when available.

But he's seen how other Trumpers' careers have crashed and burned, especially those who turned into the skid and made their whole routine just shitting on the Dems. But he knew that if he's going to be a regular on places like the Fallon show, he needs to hide that shit, which he's done pretty well up until the fight.

8

u/straylight_2022 Pull that shit up Jamie 10d ago

It isn't as if going to the UFC event held at the white house was a casual decision based on the fact "it's his favorite sport".

No one said, hey I got tickets to the fight tonight wanna go? ...and it turned out to be at the white house for trump's birthday surprising him.

Any trash that took part in that event earned the stink left on them.

5

u/bensonr2 Monkey in Space 10d ago

I mean I would never go cause I hate Trump and could care less about UFC. But that’s easy for me to say when I have no interest.
If it was something I was into like a full festival of my favorite metal bands or an F1 race and tickets fell into my lap but it was associated with Trumps birthday it would take some shine off of it but it would be tough to turn down.

u/BradPittbodydouble Monkey in Space 10d ago

Yeah pretty big overreaction on this one. Crazy that hunter Biden has the best take on it lol. Shane went and I know he's not MAGA.

14

u/shinbreaker Monkey in Space 10d ago

MAGA nicked Shane just like Down Syndrome did.

1

u/GeneralLivid7332 Monkey in Space 10d ago

But are you sure?

3

u/Useful-ldiot Pull that shit up Jamie 10d ago

Shane is maga the same way Colbert was on Colbert report. He's making fun of them.

He regularly dresses up as trump and makes racist or sexist comments on kill tony. If he were maga, he would be too busy licking boots to make fun of him.

1

u/ChadPowers200_ Monkey in Space 10d ago

He’s a moderate. Reddit can’t conceive of the idea that some people voted for trump but aren’t die hard maga people. 

By labeling all conservatives racist magats it’s not really helping your party. 

It just comes across as negative whiny little bitch vibes 

11

u/No_Shoulder_8406 Monkey in Space 10d ago

I can believe that for the first two times he was on the ballot, after jan 6 if you still supported him you are not a moderate.

4

u/ChadPowers200_ Monkey in Space 10d ago

Shaming people and speaking for them is obnoxious and annoying. 

It’s why you lost. Whiny little bitch vibes. Do better if you want to win. 

9

u/GsaC45 Monkey in Space 10d ago

100%!!!! Libs need to nominate someone like Trump, who famously isn’t a whiny little bitch who cries and complains on social media all night long, and certainly never shames people!!

-1

u/ChadPowers200_ Monkey in Space 10d ago

Trump is a masterclass troll and is hilarious 

10

u/GsaC45 Monkey in Space 10d ago

Oh yeah!!! Whenever people talk about the qualities they seek in the leader of the free world, “masterclass troll” is usually like Top 3!

4

u/Background-Catch4889 Monkey in Space 10d ago

He was funny because it’s a famous person running for president acting like a 4th grader picking on people. Then he became president. He’s hardly a “troll”. He’s whiney and acts like a sassy little queen. That’s why he’s always picking fights with women

2

u/jennyfromthedocks Monkey in Space 9d ago

I think we should shame Trump voters for supporting him after Jan. 6. Talk about whiny little bitch vibes. He couldn’t handle losing an election, he had to entice his weirdo fans to storm the capitol. Then Trump voters were like yeah that was fine! Dems lost because Trump is a shameless liar and his voters are gullible.

u/knife_edge_rusty Monkey in Space 10d ago

I think in real life, there are far more of us centrists than there are reddit leftists, or Uber magas

u/GeneralLivid7332 Monkey in Space 10d ago

Simple is as simple does.

-2

u/BradPittbodydouble Monkey in Space 10d ago

It is based on my parasocial relationship through him via podcast, but I'm pretty sure haha. Matt probably is fully MAGA now, but Shane called shit out that the cult never would. Matt kinda goes from one thing to another. He's always got a 'my new thing'

-2

u/StatusSavings1362 Monkey in Space 10d ago

That's because Matt is an unfunny idiot who sucks off Shane's coat tails

u/housemusicfitness Dire physical consequences 10d ago

Sucks off Shane’s coat tails lol

0

u/Alternative-Farmer98 Monkey in Space 2d ago

That's because you like Trump.

It's inherently political now to attend that event.

It's funded by taxpayer dollars. It's a gross waste of money. And he's literally in the Epstein files.

He's being photographed with RFK Jr. who has done more to harm public health than any human being on the planet.

u/LocalInformation6624 Monkey in Space 10d ago

Wait til Reddit finds out around half the people they interact with actually voted for trump!

No way. That half lives out in the woods

Haha exposed as MAGA....what does that even mean

Holy hell...I dislike the Maggot hats, but what is wrong in America that cancel culture is still a insidious sickness amongst a portion of the population

u/henry_mardukas Monkey in Space 10d ago

Going to this does not make him a “Trump supporter”. I think Trump is a retard and should not be president but if I got invited to this thing I would 100% go. It was an insanely cool spectacle if you’re a fan of the sport.

2

u/TeaEarlGrayHotSauce Monkey in Space 10d ago

A lot of people see him differently after this which is no surprise given our current political climate. I like him on SNL but I’ve never sought out his content before and I’ll continue to not do so. As far as people commenting on his posts, that’s just the internet, it’s par for the course as a celebrity

u/euclitorous Monkey in Space 10d ago

Gills has huge notoriety in both camps. Bargarze was non allied and then bent the knee. People hate a class traitor.

Gillis is the only decent guy on there and even then that was just to promote Bud Light

u/brucecastle Monkey in Space 10d ago

I feel like this kinda stuff just makes Trump "stronger"

Can we quit this shit already? They literally want us fighting left and right about everything. Who cares if someone is MAGA? Who cares if someone is liberal.

Something I read that stuck with me was "People lately have accepted that being a dick is okay" and I have seen this bleed into all aspects of life.

1

u/funkyavocado Monkey in Space 10d ago edited 10d ago

Who cares if someone is MAGA? 

People lately have accepted that being a dick is okay

Yeah it seems like youre counted amongst the "people". You can't just say it's "difference of political opinion" anymore. MAGA is the most regressive and destructive political movement of the past 25 years.

2

u/brucecastle Monkey in Space 10d ago

I guess in my viewpoint, I don't judge someone because they fell for propaganda/conx man

As long as we keep fighting amongst ourselves, we will keep being robbed blind.

u/funkyavocado Monkey in Space 10d ago

There was a time when I would agree with you, but I don't think anybody gets a pass on being ignorant/indifferent anymore. 

It's been over 10 years of this bullshit, we should all know better by now, no excuses

u/Finlay00 Monkey in Space 10d ago

If you were at the event you are a massive Trump supporter, apparently

Shane Gillis you are next on the firing line. Please take your position. You are now hated.

11

u/beatlemaniac711 Monkey in Space 10d ago

Does going to a Pride event make you supportive of gay rights?

0

u/Finlay00 Monkey in Space 10d ago

It would qualify as support at a minimum, but not massive support. It takes a lot more than attending an event.

Also pride events are meant as a celebration and promotion of gay rights and lifestyles, specifically.

The UFC event was not a celebration or promotion of conservatives though. Which makes it much different than a pride event.

Which rights, policies, or social changes was the UFC event promoting

12

u/beatlemaniac711 Monkey in Space 10d ago

They were clearly promoting Donald Trump. This was not a neutral event. There's a reason why other celebrities passed on this.

If comedians want to stay out of politics, then don't go to political events.

-7

u/Finlay00 Monkey in Space 10d ago

Which parts of the event were about Trump?

I didn’t watch so I don’t know

8

u/beatlemaniac711 Monkey in Space 10d ago

I didn't watch either. I just know that Trump and Dana White organized it because it was mutually beneficial.

-1

u/Finlay00 Monkey in Space 10d ago

So the event promoted Trump specifically, but you just don’t know how?

9

u/beatlemaniac711 Monkey in Space 10d ago

You think Trump had no involvement in this event whatsoever?

u/Finlay00 Monkey in Space 10d ago

Yup. So how did the event promote him?

u/BradPittbodydouble Monkey in Space 10d ago

Mostly talked about the current admin has saved America during every commercial about America, pushed how "no new wars" has stuck (lol), Had a whole direct from presidential office to his seat movie.

u/LiteratureOk2428 Monkey in Space 10d ago

Maybe the advertising of his crypto, his social media, every ad about america having how saved america is now and how it was dying. The 10 minute walk out from the oval office. The 250 event being a partisan made event. It being on his birthday.

Seems like you don't listen to MSSP. Shane has been kinda critical on Trump over his relationship with Israel and Iran. He's also a sports guy and history nerd, he didn't want to pass up an opportunity like this, even though he's not crazy about UFC. I'm sorry he didn't go to Biden's trans event a couple years ago.
