It’s amazing that these people will lie about anything and everything, no matter how obvious the lie. They expect the rest of us to either believe it or do nothing about it.

The narcissist thinks everyone else is dumber than them. They cannot comprehend someone being smarter so they lie and just assume we will believe it.

I disagree to an extent. I think a good number of them seriously think that whatever they believe is the default. Wherever they are on the political spectrum is dead-center. I personally know my ideas are political because I can compare and contrast them against other peoples' opinions. I am aware of the priveleges I have, and aware of how they affect my opinions. I am aware how the relative lack of priveleges may affect some others' opinions; and how the relative abundance of priveleges affects others'. People like White and Rogan think they're not political because they literally cannot empathize with anyone. They can't understand how or why other people have the opinions they have. So, if you are too far away from them, in either direction, only then you are being "political". They are broken people. They are deficient in their ability to empathize.

Him coming out and specifically saying that he’s “never political” is admittance, or at a minimum awareness, that he knows the Trump policies are negative and he doesn’t wanna get tainted. So he plays both sides.

Yep. And it’s crazy that so many of them came from non-wealthy families. They got their bag and immediately forgot what it was like to be “normal.” Even if they got government assistance THEY were different and just on temporary hard times so it was ok in their “rare” case.

It’s not just about Dana White. It’s about all the people like him that have a direct channel to whisper in the President’s ear. It’s the Bezos, the Zuckerbergs, the Musks of the world. “A government of the people, by the people, for the people”. These oligarchs don’t represent the people and they shouldn’t have access like this to the people “representing” us.

From the article: Dana White claimed politics didn’t play into his decision to join forces with Donald Trump and host a UFC event at the White House, and bizarrely claimed he’s “never” been political - despite speaking at the Republican National Convention. Dana White has also spoken on behalf of Trump at political rallies and has accompanied him to major sporting events, including several UFC cards and the College Football Playoff national championship game earlier this year.

Dana White's actual words were "IT TH NOTTT POLITIKULLL" followed by many loud slurping and snuffling noises, because Dana White had his nose shoved so far up Trump's butt that he met both Ted Cruz and Mike Johnson in Donald Trump's colon. Dana White, Ted Cruz, and Mike Johnson are going to have a steel cage match to determine who has control of Trump's colon.

It’s already started, his own VP is distancing himself from him. This Iran fiasco will end with Trump hanging Hegseth out to dry, pulling some shady shit in November to try to hold on to absolute power, and if that fails you’re going to see the rats abandoning him in droves till he either dies in the latter half of his presidency or else “retires,” to the Middle East when it’s done.

Dana put a ban on fighters walking out with their country's flag because he claimed it was too political. Meanwhile, at yesterday's UFC, this is the literal order of celebrities they showed on the big screen at one point: Ivanka Trump, Kamaru Usman, Donald Trump Jr, Justin Gaetje, Donald Trump. After every fight and in the middle of every round, the camera goes and stays on Trump. Trump gets his own fighter entrance when coming into the arena. Dana very literally made an additional fight for the White House card last night solely because Trump asked about a fighter. Dana spoke at the RNC for Trump. But no, he's right...."never political"

bawanaal 13 hr ago +2
Louder for the people in the back. UFC fighters are woefully underpaid. TKO/UFC shares a much lower percentage of revenue with their fighters, especially when compared to unionized athletes in other sports. UFC tightly controls sponsorships, limiting opportunities for fighters to make endorsement money. The fighters are also considered independent contractors, so they are responsible for their own expenses, taxes, training, so on. Let's not even get into the high risks associated with MMA (or any combat sport), such as brain damage and CTE. Getting hit in the head for a living is not conducive to a long, healthy life. All fight promoters (which White essentially is, in the vein of Don King or Bob Arum) are corrupt, scummy people who take advantage of fighters. Been that way for decades.
