Everything today is mildly to completely insane, but the fake tough guy thing still at least feels normal or perhaps funny or tiresome depending upon one’s mood. Therefore, I’m fine with it. I grew up watching pro-wrestling, so I enjoy masculine characters, also violence, and I respect someone’s sense of theatricality. If your insult or belittlement of another man is hilarious, or you’re able to conduct a troll to undermine his emotional state into a freakout, I respect you. Weak sauce, however, I don’t respect. Case in point:
Let’s break this down. First of all, those nachos at a stadium like this probably cost around 15 dollars. Obviously, the morbidly obese man would buy these nachos but is that the best look for voters who want to elect someone who won’t keel over in office? Why not put that money aside for the stomach surgery? Or, maybe put it into a CD or something.
Second, Chris Christie is flanked by two bodyguards in plain clothes. This is like Joe Biden touching someone’s wife or daughter surrounded by the Secret Service. Everybody in real life knows anything could happen to a regular guy for doing this, and then a jury might shrug and say “well, he did grope that man’s daughter.” So, yeah, Christie is belittling this dude in front of his woman, but his target is going to try and keep his cool due to the security situation. Everybody gets this.
Third, the physics of probable violence in this scenario. Christie is on the precipice of a very steep incline while standing. The other guy is seated with his back to a firm surface. All that guy would need to do is suddenly get up and shove him. Christie and those nachos go flying. This would’ve been epic. Instead, he kept his cool, with a “bro, are you serious?” look on his face. I get it, but the other outcome would’ve been much more entertaining and ended this fat fuck’s political career. I want to be entertained.
Christie is still at it, trying to deliver one liners that don’t work. In terms of voters, the Republican Party is Trump’s party. Nobody else matters. Again, everybody gets this one, it doesn’t matter what you feel about Trump. So, you show up to a debate that was a waste of Trump’s time, so he didn’t show up, and call him some totally facile nickname?
WWF had story lines and wrestlers with natural charisma who could sell what they were doing, this is what I want to watch IRL. Rome was in decline and people got free wine and bread while watching gruesome carnage in the Colosseum. Heritage Americans deserve this; I don’t feel that my sentiments are unreasonable. To be honest, I’m really exasperated with this country.
All Trump would have to do at one of his Nuremburg rallies is ask to the crowd: “Who is Chris Christie, I can’t remember?” Then the crowd reacts with hysterics, and he replies: “Oh yeah, that guy who can’t stop eating. I tried to give him a job, but he just wasn’t good at it he was just eating, eating all day folks, I wouldn’t eat that much, with some folks you’ve just got to tell them they’re fired…it’s just you’re fired and good luck to you, you have to do it folks. It’s sad but as the president, you have to do a lot of things, many important things to do, really great things, he was just eating and eating. I said, Chris, why don’t you just stop eating? Always more eating, we could have done some terrific things, people were saying the best things they’d ever seen” and then some guy in a MAGA hat yells “that fat fuck” and Trump says “Oh, that’s terrible I wouldn’t say that, we’d never say that, but I’ve heard a lot of people say that, it’s true folks” Then the crowd erupts. There’s no script, Trump is just doing his thing. Do you think that Rick Rude read a script before he went out to the crowd?
Trump got to the Oval Office doing his character and won more votes than any incumbent in history, you can’t beat him at this game. If you wish to attack a man at his strength, you’d better match his strength at least, this is pathetic:
This one had me more entertained. First of all, you have the characters. Labor Unions in America, traditionally, can be rough and tumble. Nobody can really definitively figure out what happened to Jimmy Hoffa, for example. So, Sean O’Brien, president of the Teamsters, has the character. Like an edgy, Stone Cold Steve Austin thing going on. I want to see him brawl with the white-collar asshole, like when the Texas redneck Austin turned on the Yankee robber baron Mr. McMahon. Yes, this is what I enjoy.
Nobody likes the generic GOP types except some rich dickheads. The party’s voters who work for a living are just stuck with them, but actually they hate them and deserve better. Please observe the following: O’Brien pre-trolls the senator and demeans his masculinity ahead of the showdown. The vignettes were a very important part of the wrestling drama. It’s not just the match itself. This is really great stuff, I respect the hell out of O’Brien. See below:
Personally, this senator strikes me as a generic GOP type and is clearly, in the WWF story line, the heel. But, you need to have the heel or there’s nothing but a match, and I expect nothing out of our politicians, so for me, this is fine. I’d much rather have this guy than Mitch McConnell. This is spicy:
The other thing in wrestling is that it’s not just the guys in the ring, there are a bunch of ancillary characters. For instance, the guy behind O’Brien with the crazy grin who looks like he’s ready to throw down, too. Also, the ancient Bernie Sanders who’s attempting to calm the situation in his neurotic New York Jew voice and reminding Sen. Mullin that he’s a senator.
Unfortunately, this didn’t come to blows. This whole lead up was great, and then what you’d see in WWF was the violence start. So, this feels very unsatisfying for me, personally.
As a post-mortem, it’s clear that O’Brien was the winner. Everybody is making fun of this chump Mullin and so now he’s threatening random people from the internet with shooting them to death. Nobody on the internet is scared of a photo on the internet of a man with a gun.
I’ve received death threats on the internet. Do you think I give a shit? No, of course not. Essentially, with this meltdown, Mullin is conceding that he lost. Everybody knows there’s not going to be a shootout, and if anybody agreed and showed up to challenge Mullin, there’d be a massive federal law enforcement response.
If Mullin had leaped over that senate bench and gone at O’Brien like an irate black customer at Burger King, he could’ve a least retained some dignity and given us the show we deserve. All we get in return for experiencing the collapse of America is to watch race mixing on Netflix.
Important people in DC used kill each other in duels across the river in Maryland. Rep. Preston Brooks beat Sen. Charles Sumner nearly to death for his hypocritical insults. His people cheered and considered him a hero, I wish I was there to cheer him on. This is what the people deserve.
America has failed on so many levels, I don’t know what else to say.
I’m proud to officially announce my candidacy for the office of Dogcatcher.
What do you reckon Tim Burchett should’ve done to McCarthy?
My Marxist revolutionary ex was in fact intimidated by a picture of a man with a gun. When ex started into harassing me again, second husband AKA my real husband the big scary biker sent him a picture of himself, armed, with just two lines: “She’s my wife now. You will leave her alone.” Lo and below, leave me alone is exactly what ex has done.
Smiles.
“Chris Christie, I know a lot of people, believe me, I do, I meet a lot of people. Tremendous people. But I also know a dozen fat people, really big, and you happen to be 11 of them. Sad!”
I left a post at Senator Mullin’s YT channel asking him to contact Dana White to arrange a grudge match in the Octagon with O’Brien. The PPV’s would be the through the roof! I’m sure Dana could and would love to make it happen. But so far no response. Maybe I need to call his office.
BTW, great summoning of the spirit of Trump. Nailed it.
