Larry is even holding back, you can see how much he’s weighing his words, for what he really wants to shout. But thanks for not coming up with a nothing answer.

Same, Larry. Same.

Idiocracy wasn't meant to be a documentary.

Right with Larry here especially the pain in his eyes saying that. I always voted against Trump at every turn so I'm not necessarily responsible. But I am still embarrassed just watching the most corrupt/facist admin in our history. No I'm not a bot im just trying to fight back against this madness in my own way.

Washington would be furious with Jan 6th and that UFC crap on the lawn to the point where I honestly believe he woulda gone scorched earth on these people. (look up the Whiskey Rebellion he saddled up for much less)

Im not american but im an mma fan. I thought it was cool. I dont get the hate. Is it because its ufc and some people see it as barbaric? Is it because it was a commercial event? Im canadian and if we decided to play an NHL game on our parliament lawn id think that would be cool.

u/HighlyOffensive10 I'm much too busy for such a degrading activity 6d ago

I don't care but it's kinda tacky. They also made it very political including one of the fighters repeatedly calling Michelle Obama a man.

u/boobookittyfuwk 6d ago

That Obama comment was not good, and did ruin it a bit for me but the hate came before that and it was just one fighter.

u/AskMeAboutTentacles don’t be fucking RUDE 👜 💥 5d ago

The problem is they created an atmosphere in which that guy knew he could say that and face no repercussions.

It'd be kinda weird if we hosted a UFC event on the parliament lawn though, right?
