1. Heh... Too funny

[Celerity]

18. good doc -The Sheik (2014) Full Movie Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Hulk Hogan Mick Foley

[ornotna]

40. Bookmarking to watch later

I didn't realize he was still alive.

2. Kick

[agingdem]

3. when I was a kid, we were told to behave or else

every shitty thing we ever did would be entered in our PERMANENT FOLDER..I knew it was bullshit but like God (is there/isn't there??), I toed the line just in case...but that vomit spewing asshole Madison Cawthorn and his past and present fuck-ups has me once again questioning the existence of the dreaded PERMANENT FOLDER..I'm leaning yes...

[stopdiggin]

4. Madison - there appears to be no evidence at all

that you've grown. Ergo ...

[sop]

5. At least G. W. Bush had the good sense to wait till he was well into his 40s before saying

"when I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible."

[Probatim]

28. IIRC, GWB suggested his DUI at age 30 was in his youth

It's been a while since I heard that story. I could be wrong.

[lambchopp59]

47. I didn't see the incident, but the Sunday mornin' aftermath was...

Mmm hmm.
Spectacular clean up scene... of a LOT of white stuff from a rubber side up Olds Cutlass.
I dare not say more on any "officially" perused site.

[ificandream]

6. Wow. I saw the Iron Sheik at Madison Square Garden.

[SergeStorms]

22. Is he the guy supposedly from Iran?

He'd wave an Iranian flag around and then some American flag waving guy would come in and kick his butt (or get hit in the head with a "foreign object" and lose)?

I think he owns a car dealership in Phoenix now.

"Professional" wrestling is a scream.

[ripcord]

26. Actually he was an Iranian olympic wrestler and former bodyguard to the Shah. nt

[SergeStorms]

29. No kidding?

I thought it was all an act. It's difficult to tell with wrestlers.

Thanks for the info.

[Cheezoholic]

34. If you get Vice TV

Their Dark Side of the Ring series is great.

[SergeStorms]

35. Yes, I do.

I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

[Polybius]

44. True, but every now and then they surprise you

This guy was a real mortician.

[SergeStorms]

45. Paul Bearer, right?

Used to be "The Undertaker's" manager in his early years, if I'm not mistaken.

The story lines on some of these dudes are sophomoric, but funny as hell.

[IggleDuer]

7. How old was he when he tried to take a loaded gun on a plane for a second time?

Oh yes, that was this week!

[SergeStorms]

23. That's part of....

his "American improvement plan".

[gratuitous]

8. Henry Hyde had an affair when he was 41 and called it a "youthful indiscretion"

The statute of limitations for Republican hypocrisy is remarkably short. Whereas there ain't one for a Democrat. You'll still hear the bullshit talking point about Sen. Byrd.

[Catherine Vincent]

15. Yeah, that was a good one.

[LiberatedUSA]

9. LOL n/t

[dixiechiken1]

10. *snort* 😏

[oldsoftie]

11. Everyone should read the iron Sheik's twitter. He's rough, but its hilarious.

Most posts are short like this one

[oldsoftie]

19. No, thats "The Sheik". This is "The Iron Sheik"; from Iran.

He was actually a bodyguard for the Shah before coming to the US.
The OTHER Sheik was a Lebanese American. And I think he was in the US Army in WW2.

[Captain Zero]

36. Oh Chin we would get along fine...

The Sheik, Bobo Brazil, Dick the Bruiser, Wilbur Snyder, Cowboy Bob Ellis....Those we're the days.

[magicarpet]

49. Hey,... What about Killer Kawasaki ?

Killer Kowalski: Bio

Inside the ring, Walter Kowalski went by a simple, yet painfully true nickname: "Killer." As anyone who ever stepped in the ring with Kowalski will tell you, his moniker was more than appropriate.

Known for his dreaded Iron Claw, Kowalski began his 30-year sports-entertainment career in St. Louis in 1947. Soon, however, he was competing all throughout the United States and Canada as well as overseas. Perhaps his most infamous moment came at the Montreal Forum in 1954, and it was the night he truly earned the "Killer" nickname. During a Steel Cage Match against Yukon Eric, Kowalski bit off part of his opponent's ear, cementing his already frightening reputation.

12. Yeah - MOST of us are at least twice his age

[d_b]

16. I deactivated when shithead bought twitter

but I might just log back in to like that.

FUCK THE HOGAN!

[greenjar_01]

17. The deal hasn't been completed yet

Just sayin'

[2Gingersnaps]

42. Yeah, but letting the future King of the Universe know how much you're looking forward to his reign

frees up some time to do more important things. I didn't walk away from actual friends and family who drank the Koolaid to have to take that crap from rank (really rank) strangers online.

[BobTheSubgenius]

20. The last time I tried to take a loaded gun onto a plane was WEEKS ago!

Are you people going to keep throwing ancient history in my face? I'm not even on a no-fly list.

[agingdem]

24. this isn't the first time that loathsome venal asshole

tried to bring a gun on a plane..February 13, 2021 Asheville Regional Airport..

[BobTheSubgenius]

31. I know, right?

And...STILL not on a no-fly list.

[sprinkleeninow]

32. He "made a mistake". Again.

[IronLionZion]

25. Youthful indiscretion. The past can hurt

Mad Caw disease

[AnyFunctioningAdult]

27. Sheiky Baby will humble all the jabronis

Especially the Hulk Hogan.

[NellieStarbuck]

30. Cawthorn is Jabroni!!

Tell him, Sheiky Baby!

[Cheezoholic]

33. Best tweet twoot twitt exchange of the year n/t

[Emile]

37. Bwhaha +1. Too funny

[Dukkha]

38. I met him at a con in Atlanta

Very nice guy led quite an interesting life. Needless to say he is struggling hard with health issues because, like so many from the classic 80's era of the WWE, he got treated horribly by Vince McMahon and casted aside when he was no longer profitable.

[newdayneeded]

39. Maybe

Does he realize that just in the last 2 weeks he's had pics of him getting his crotch grabbed by a guy, and wearing lingerie? I'm thinking the gop is done listening to even a word he says.

43. Call me crazy, but I like my lawmakers with a better education than "religious homeschooled."

I'm kinda big on that Separation of Church and State thing. If you are going to be a lawmaker, should you not have some knowledge of the Constitution in general and how that applies to the community you "represent" specifically? Maybe you should possess more emotional intelligence than the cast of Animal House, and they were only acting. A lot of what he does is performative, but this is supposed to be Civics, not reality TV.

[LakeArenal]

46. Hypocrite needs to hypocrite

[lambchopp59]

48. Uh Mary Cuh Furst

Damned meaningless utterance, designed to convince idiots they're voting patriotically.
Every time I've challenged the few RW'ers I have casual relations with to explain in concrete terms exactly what ideas their heroes are supporting I get either:
Meaningless rhetorical shit like 'Merica furst
or
Equally meaningless border security bullshit. Love that one, because they know damn well the politicians that blather that shit have no interest in losing cheap labor. At jobs citizens won't do.
So the fall back position is the ubiquitous "they" are bringing diseases.
The one I have to frequently deal with at work--
I'm getting there. Fact's are starting..... starting... to soak through the brainwashing.
I don't know how far I'll get with it. It is a co-worker, so I have to keep it on the down-low.
He operates from on a simpleton's politico/religious delusion not requiring much cerebral workout.
