Trump Blows a Kiss as Hulk Hogan Rips His Shirt Onstage in Surreal RNC Scene - Lemmy.World

Well that was upsetting.

Is this real?

It’s not hot!!!
This isn’t surprising. Hulk Hogan is a huge racist.
He did say brotha a lot.
Remember when his drunken piece of shit kid killed someone and hulk Hogan Said it was probably karma?
I thought he killed someone too, but now all I can find is that he left somebody brain damaged to the point of needing lifetime care. Fuck Mandela
He also ratted out the union organizers in the WWF.
union organizers his best friend Jesse Ventura
Jesse Ventura. Now there’s the only wrestler I would vote for.
Dude knew what the fuck was up. He found out it was Hogan after Vince had to testify in court. Fuck Hulk Hogan, but like, not in the fun way

MFW I’ve been comparing US politics to WWE for years

The Undertaker and Chris Jericho are endorsing Donald Trump to remain the President of the United States. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Calaway, and Jericho are the biggest donors to the Trump campaign in terms of pro wrestlers. 411 Mania noted that The Undertaker has donated a total of $7,000 to Trump and Republican causes this year while Jericho has donated $3,000 this month.

Republican fundraising platform WinRed has accepted donations from WWE’s John Gaburick ($100), Drake Wuertz ($10) and Kevin Dunn ($42). Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon is one of the biggest Trump supporters as she and husband, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, donated $5 million to the Trump Foundation from 2004 to 2014. Trump has strong ties with WWE as he’s a member of the company’s Hall of Fame. In WrestleMania 23, Trump took on Vince McMahon in a Hair vs. Hair match and won.

Donald Trump makes his Undertaker entrance at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on July 18, 2016.

Good. Now I have no reason to feel bad about laughing at the Undertaker when the Sci-Fi channel, for some reason, had him host a movie night, called “The Undertaker’s Theater of Doom” and he pronounced it “thee-ayter.”
Another connection is Vince McMahon and his wife, both of which are right wing pieces of trash. Linda herself served in the previous Trump administration.
Both Vince McMahon and Trump are also known for failed football leagues.
Too bad he didn’t bring Heather Clem up with him.
What is this timeline
We all know where this is heading.
The short coming of Idiocracy was that the characters had to be somewhat likable and the plot had to go somewhere. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho took proactive, positive action when he put the Smart Man Alive in charge of the problem. I would absolutely vote for him.
The 6 year old me is very disappointed to learn that Hulk Hogan is a dumb piece of crap.
IIRC he got canceled during or shortly after his reality show when he went on a racist rant over a recorded phone-call to his son who was sitting in jail, the context of which sounded very similar to a lot of Trump conservative meltdowns.

Almost. Hogan was a bull (I think), and was giving the old third leg drop on this dudes wife. The dude was secretly recording, and Hogan started ranting about how he didn’t want his daughter to date black guys. He used much worse language.

The call you are referencing was after his son crippled a man when he wrecked while allegedly racing, and all they were worried about was making the passenger look bad and a reality TV show when Nick got released.

I’ll be damned. Looks like Hulk and Nick did discuss racially insensitive things, to put it nicely.

Oh Terry… What have you become?
Peter Thiel funded Terry Bollea’s lawsuit against Gawker. It’s saddening (but not surprising) that he’s a real shitbird too.
Look BROTHA, it’s like this— The Hulkster is super rich and extremely racist, but mainly Hulkster just doesn’t wanna pay taxes
So is Hercules, and the Walker Texas Ranger. It’s all disappointing.

Hogan is famously a liar of epic proportions and shut down a potential wrestlers union in the 80s. I know many of us were hulkamaniacs at some point but he’s a piece of shit.

I haven’t kept up with ole Stone Cold but last I checked he was threatening people online for being racist and homophobic. So if you want a decent person that was once at the to of the business he’s a better choice

I know next to zero about professional wrestling, but isn’t CM Punk also a pretty good dude outside the ring?
John Cena too I think. At the very least he had the record for most wishes granted for the Make a Wish Foundation.
John Cena speaks pretty fluent Chinese when he needs to apologize to the CCP.
Didn’t like that but can’t say I’d do different.
There is no way the studio didn’t push for that.
He’s a massive star. He could have said, “no, fuck the CCP, I won’t do it.” It’s not like he would have never gotten work in Hollywood again. He’s worth way too much even if he doesn’t kowtow to the CCP.
TBF celebrities bigger than him have been cancelled for lesser offenses than taking on the CCP.
Such as?

I probably worded that poorly. I’m really mean in terms of scale. Spacey is for whatever reason coming to mind. Not to excuse his absolutely abhorrent behavior, but really old allegations of arguable “consensual” sex (with a minor) is just not comparable to sticking your finger in the eye of the CCP. Will Smith might be a better example.

I’m sounding a lot like an apologist when really I’m just trying to say it’s difficult for me to judge Cena for saying “I didn’t mean to offend anyone and love the Chinese people” when it isn’t my career on the line.

As you can see here, plenty of performers with less star power than Cena are banned from entering China for even mild criticism. He bootlicked.

He has less integrity than Katy Perry.

Ok? It’s worth applauding them for choosing that stance. I’m still not going to judge Cena too harshly for opting out of a conflict that he can’t really impact anyway, when by all other accounts he seems to be a pretty admirable person.

It’s not like he said “Taiwan must immediately surrender to the Chinese government”. He just chose not to get stuck in the middle of it. You may see that as cowardly but it’s easy to hold that position behind a shroud of anonymity.

Dude, he apologized in Mandarin. That’s pretty bootlicky.
General politics wise he’s publicly been pro women’s rights and supports LGBQT+ rights

He’s on the right side politically, definitely. Big believer in human rights, and has spoken up publicly in favor of abortion and trans rights.

I hear that he’s a nightmare in his personal life due to being a big huge ball of trust issues, but he definitely ain’t no fascist.

Punk has some issues for sure but he’s not a bad person
He didn’t lie when he said he was a racist though. Of course, he didn’t know there was a camera on him at the time.
John Cena.
John Cena defends serial rapist Vince McMahon
Well that sucks. Vince McMahon is a piece of shit.
Vince is arguably one of the biggest pieces of shit alive

Wait, you mean that the union-busting, back-stabbing, “I got mine,” racist piece of shit supports Trump???

Well, now I’m offended!

We’re only 4 years from recreating Idiocracy. Hell we might already be there. Save us, Luke Wilson. You’re our only hope.

President Camacho realized he needed to put the smartest man he knew in charge to save the world.

The current crop of Republicans, uh… don’t.

Some parts of the world are there, this one sure is.

Dear aliens,

If you’re reading this, please vaporize planet earth. There’s too much stupid here, we cannot be saved.

Looks like he snorted a few rails with Don Jr. backstage before his speech.
Big throwing-a-dog-in-the-water energy.
