    MMA fighters are all loose cannons. You don’t just decide that your life’s calling is to knock the piss out of another man by any means necessary. That’s psycho shit. So is threatening violence on a union president. If only Republicans understood that hatred isn’t a political ideology and doesn’t cash checks.

      I dunno. My boss at my current job is a former MMA fighter and I don’t really consider him to be a “loose cannon”. He’s actually really chill. I mean, if you push him, maybe, but in general he’s a really cool and supportive guy.

      It does seem to be the undertone of other things though that do cash checks. Unfortunately.

      I have limited experience but I had a former MMA champion as a customer and he had been childhood friends with one of my coworkers and he was super nice and respectful

        No, they are all already like that, and their constituents eat it up. It’s not a charade, they’re not playing 5D checkers or whatever, they’re literally cognitively challenged bullies and that is basically the whole Republican voting demographic.
