Nah the other community labeled memes. I wouldnt complain about politics in a community called political memes. I’m not anti politics I’m just pro some places excluding them.

Ha ha funny meme… /S

Rule 2? I left the other memes community to get away from posts like this.

Ladies and gentlemen, HE’S DONE IT

Hell yeah

Aside from that blatently misinformed, ignorant and objectively false statement. Anything to say about all the times its been done on the past ? Or about how nearly all branches of the military and police hand to hand training is literally created by those “UFC douche bags” (Gracie combatives, GST, MACP and GRAPLE).

You’re saying the FBI wrote THE book on martial arts?.. Anything to say about the fact I brought up this has happened dozens of times in the past with different pro fighters or athletes under different presidents? This isn’t a new thing and its far from the first time the US government has contracted pro athletes to train its military and/or police force. Again this has happened WITH THE UFC prior under Obama, Bush, Biden and Trump… it’s just being extra publicized right now because its easy to farm engament/hate. You’re the gullible one for falling for the idea this is a new thing that Trump is doing and getting stirred up by it. You can google it, you have the power. Was it fraudulent corruption under the other presidents too? I hate Trump and hes doing plenty of corrupt, immoral and evil things. This isn’t one of them. Making a big deal about it just weakens the argument you have about his actual misdeeds if you were to try and argue with a conservative. I’ll say again because you’ve ignored it every other time, this EXACT thing has happened under the last four presidents you care now strictly because that dumb fucks name is associated…The US special forces used the Gracies (famous from the UFC) to assist in further development of their hand to hand combat program. You can look in the career section or google the modern army combatives program. Bas Rutten, Tim Kennedy, Matt Sera, Randy Couture and the Gracies have all made careers off running training courses or seminars for the US military or police since the early 2000s.

Thats literally what is happening for a seminar… This has happened dozens of times since 2002 at least. You can look it up. If they are getting paid an exorbitant fee, sure, like I said, that sucks. But these are some of the most competent people possible to teach a hand to hand combat seminar. You dont like Trump, thats fine, me either. That doesn’t make these guys a poor option for a one off training seminar and it definitely doesn’t make it fraud or corruption. If he was paying his son,daughter, hanger on or Dana White to teach the seminar, sure, I’d agree with you.

Did someone teach them or were they born that way? Are you considering the FBI a branch of the military? Do you think after the initial training they ever do any subsequent training? Have you googled if this has ever happened before? You’re saying dumb shit acting like its smart and obvious.

To coach/teach martial arts… yes… many of them have already been coaches/teachers for more than a decade. Thats how martial arts works. Definitely more qualified to teach that than an NBA/NFL player is to teach a leadership conference (the government has paid 6 figures for that many times).

Article doesn’t say anything about what anyone is getting paid or by who. Why is this fraud, abuse or waste? Seems like a seminar about hand to hand combat is being put on for a group of people who are/should be trained in hand to hand combat. With the trainers being some of the most skilled in the world. If it is explained that this is significantly more expensive than typical market rate seminars, sure that sucks. But, the article doesn’t specify anything like that. This exact thing has happened dozens of times with different athletes and different military/police forces in the US under different presidents dem and rep. I remember a long time ago Kenny Florian or Carlos condit was doing a training for special forces guys. The Gracies have also done a fuck load of training for various military/police organizations. There are tons more examples but nobody will feel any less strongly if I list them.

Edit to add sources of this happening since at least 2002

You’re disgusting again.

So Brandon Herrera very well may win. Wild world. I liked his gun videos but I have no idea if he’d make a decent politician…

What a backwards way of thinking.

For single family homes, sure.

I feel like we could chop that to 10 million in assets.
