UFC Fighter Declares “Michelle Obama Is a Man” After Winning Match at White House

2d 14h ago by lemmy.zip/u/stumu415 in nottheonion from www.hollywoodreporter.com

Josh Hokit made the surprising comment in a post-match interview with Joe Rogan.

Man, the Idiocracy writers really gave up after the first one

the idiots in idiocracy are innocent and a bit endearing.

these idiots are s tier arse holes.

These idiots aren't plain idiots. They're the sociopaths, psychopaths, and pedophiles of society, who naturally gravitate towards the authoritarianism/fascism of white nationalist religious extremism.

They're the domestic enemies the cops and military were supposed to fight against, but didn't because they're also filled with sociopaths and psychopaths who naturally gravitate towards fascism, lol.

Scum of the earth

Yeah more like Don't Look Up

They are cluster B monsters

It was supposed to be a comedy

The satire to prophecy to documentary-in-progress pipeline is real.

It's horror the first time. Comedy on re-watch.

Mike Judge never thought he was making a documentary and not a parody.

Lifetime of getting kicks to the head will make you think like this.

Its okay cause she is black and rascism is the official policy of the US government apparently.

Always was.

People really need to start adding "overt", "unfettered", "rampant" or "criminally insane" before "racism", as qualifiers to this take.

Always was

Always has been.

also mysogyny.

Hilarious that Bud Light is a sponsor after MAGA canceled them. Everyone involved is a degenerate.

It's almost like these beer companies don't give a fuck about humanity and just want to poison us for profit.

Kinda fancy a beer now

Like most companies.

The companies obviously are after profits, but it is that this White House started a war against it and now accepts sponsorship.

It shows that all this outrage is just nothing more than a spectacle to control the base.

Budweiser? You mean that shit ass beer brand that screwed over the LGBTQ+ personality that they hired to sell their crap ass beer?

I wouldn't drink their fucking piss water if you paid me.

Well they kind of have to since Americans are the only people that will drink that stuff.

the biggest drunks are conservatives.

what is this “Michelle Obama is a man” obsession?

MAGAs want her to peg them.

Or suck her cock

Remember that the GOP and its base are so incredibly racist, that the fact we ever had a black president is quite literally traumatic to these buffoons.

They quite literally still cry about it and shake in fear every day, especially knowing it could theoretically happen again.

The real question is how are there still so many dipshits in America who aren't MAGA but still can't see its 10000000% a white supremacist movement.

They have to add on that obviously Obama was not just black, and not just half black and half white, but he was also a foreigner, he was also Islamic, he was also married to a trans woman, that his kids were manchurian candidates specially trained by some sort of secret three-letter government agency in another country to destroy America and he was also some secret agent....

The stories they have made up about Obama elevate him far beyond the level of mythical. Their brains simply will not accept that he simply won the vote.

They have to wrap so many levels on top of it. It must have been a conspiracy. Otherwise, how could a black man have become president?

When you say, hey, you know, maybe it's a little racist to think this way. They go, oh, I'm not fucking racist. The guy works for the devil, that's all.

That fuse in their brain has been permanently short-circuited.

I know it's kind of sad, but I feel like a lot of these people would be more mentally healthy if they would just go ahead and admit that deep down in their hearts of hearts, they "can't believe a n-word was president".

They want to say it with all of their soul, but their puritanical American self-repression is what's got them trapped.

They want to say they're not racist while hating black people with a deeply fundamental part of their spiritual makeup.

I'm sure they even see the craziness that the Orange Cheeto has been pulling and are deeply ashamed of it.

But because they can't come out to themselves and admit that they are racist, they hate black people. They want black people to be underneath them so they can feel better about themselves, they are venting that energy in wild and uncontrolled ways, and very intelligent people in the GOP are taking advantage of that.

Admitting that they are racist is part of the solution.

They could cure that racism afterwards, but first you have to admit that you have a problem.

They're claiming Michelle is a trans woman actually. I don't care enough about their delusions to figure out how they think the kids happened

Fixed, thank you.

HEY! Only I'm allowed to talk about my mom that way, buddy. Even if it's all true.

they had the same problem with Brigitte Macron nô?

Think they did yeah.

You could just attack her for being a creep who groomed someone 20 years younger into a relationship?

It's not just Michelle. This is a very common racist meme against black women in general. It's widespread among fascists, etc.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/for-women-athletes-of-color-outsized-scrutiny-over-gender-is-nothing-new-historians-say

Ever notice that most of MAGA's material was cribbed from the liberal side? There was a running joke 15-20 years ago about Ann Coulter being a trans woman, due to her prominent Adam's apple. They applied the "I'm rubber you're glue" rule, and have been trying to make this a thing since then. As usual, they've missed what made the joke funny, as cringe as it was.

Ann Coulter has an adam's apple? I missed all of that. Ben Shapiro is a trans man by the way, it's true.

sorry, who? never heard of him.

He's a fascist influencer/interneter. Very anti trans and all that, very pro israel. Anti anything left or woke, pro president. He's a piece of fucking shit.

sorry i was just negging him.

the worst thing you can say about these people is that you have no idea who they are.

Ha ha, I actually don't know who most of them are. I had no idea who Charlie Kirk was before South Park had Cartman be him that episode just a bit before kirk gave that full throated performance in Utah. I do happen to know Shapiro because of his Israel bullshit though.

copy/paste:

the worst thing you can say about these people is that you have no idea who they are.

Everybody has the same anatomy in the neck, yeah, so I don't know if culturally you'd call it an Adam's apple on a woman, but hers is somewhat visible.

Confidently incorrect.

As a rarity, woman don't have adam's apples generally, just as woman don't have testicles and dicks, although a few do.

unless they take lots of roids.

If women don't have larynxes, how do they speak?

You are too dumb to respond to further. Ha ha ha, are you for real? Jesus Christ, hates you.

This unhinged reply non-figuratively made me laugh. Legit thanks, I needed that today.

I do know what it's called when the larynx is prominent on a woman's neck? (Might have to gimme a lil' hint.)

"When someone tells you who they are, believe them."

Why do you think they're so obsessed with who can use which restroom, obsessed with who may or may not be a man or woman, make posts about getting married or engaged during pride month, etc, etc, etc it's because they're all collectively jealous of the LGBTQ+ community and in many cases are closeted homosexuals/transgender. Which is an insult to the LGBTQ+ community and does them a disservice. They want that life so desperately but are terrified that everyone in their circle will ridicule them for it meanwhile those in said circle also want the same thing.

I would say it's their upbringing. They were told that gay people will go to hell and that gay people will all get AIDS and have horrible diseases and will suffer and everybody will hate them for being gay and that it's bad to be gay, or LGBT+ in any way.

Therefore, if you're LGBT+, you're a bad person.

And whatever horrible things happen to bad people is perfectly okay. It is their just desserts.

They have been programmed to treat LGBT+ people the same way they treat pedophiles.

Laugh at them and cheer when they die, pray for their death, keep your family and children away from them, physically attack them if they get near you, prevent them from getting jobs, make them feel unwelcome everywhere they go.

And because, at a fundamental level of their own hearts, they have designated LGBT+ people as bad people, they are perfectly okay with this.

The only real cure for it is to change how they see those people.

She's more of a man than they are, and more of a woman than they'll ever have.

Pretty sure it has something to do with Grindr popping off every time there's a conservative event.

I first read about it, then finally watched the video.

The way he says this sounds comically feminine, it is only missing a little girl giggle at the end.

She's a powerful black woman whom they dislike and so a lot of them have convinced themselves she's trans to make her even worse in their eyes and to try to convince others she (and her husband) are bad.

The sheer right wing derangement over the Obamas is fucking nuts

they also called her gorilla, and claim shes a man of the relationship.

Obama Derangement Syndrome

How would you even apply satire to this caricature of a man?

Have him say something intelligent

I think about this often. The Onion can't hit it anymore, and all they'd need to do would be to write stories about Trump donating to children or reading books to elderly or basically anything make a wish foundation or your local superhero teacher does. Or, just copy anything that he's actually doing, but since it's the onion, people would be shook to anger by reality but laugh at the cleverness and saddened by the pain.

The trouble is, it isn't symmetric that way. MAGA hypocrites would simply gleefully shout it from the rooftops as fact and it would end up being a propaganda coup in their favor, satire be damned.

See also: the bullshit asymmetry principle, The Card Says "Moops", that quote by Jean-Paul Sartre, etc.

How about this:

Trump jumps into UFC ring, reveals he was faking his old and ugly the whole time

President Trump surprised voters on Sunday by stepping into the Whitehouse UFC ring and challenging Joe Rogan to a kickboxing match. Rogan at first refused to fight, citing concerns about the president's poor health, flabby physique, and deteriorating cognitive ability.

In response, Trump tore off his wrinkled, orange-stained face to reveal it was a mask the whole time. He then released hidden buckles at his shoulders, allowing the fatsuit he had been wearing for the last three electoral cycles to fall to the ground. The POTUS then yelled to the assembled crowds, "The people, they love a heel, eh? But let's set aside the act for today, because I'm feeling ready to rumble."

Trump, now revealed to be an athletic 30-year-old, then backflipped behind Rogan and suplexed him, while singing the Star Spangled Banner at the top of his lungs. He then challenged the crowd, but no members of the electorate were foolish enough to answer him. Sighing, the president put his fatsuit and mask back on, and slowly waddled back inside the white house while audibly shitting his pants.

Lmfaooooooooo YESSSSSSS

They could have him read to children at a drag book reading.

That's Babylon Bee-style humor, that is, ideology dressed up as humor. It's "funny," but doesn't make you actually laugh.

Yeah I was thinking about that. The Onion would say "Trump saves puppy" and magas would just believe it..

So no only is it not symmetric because of the bullshit-proof rule or the confirmation biases..... But these people are not normal. They're some of the dumbest and most belligerent people in existence. Literally, a special breed of stupid.

Dude literally just cage matched for a pedo. Who gives a fuck what he thinks

“Melania Trump was a prostitute for Epstein.”

There both sides can do it. Only our side is factual.

I think sports team thinking might've gotten us here in the first place, I don't think it'll get us out

“They go low, we go high” thinking got us here.

Turning the other cheek only to get slapped on the other cheek doesn’t do you any good.

I’m all for slugging it out and making them feel the same pain.

I'm not talking about that. It is telling that that's where you went, though.

No, you see, there are rules and none of us are above the rules. Rules that are unimportant must be dropped (not prosecuting cause it "could look bad", not using the majority in the senate "cause what if they get the majority?") and rules that are important must be enforced (antitrust, holding people in power accountable).

Kindergarten insults just reinforces us vs them thinking. They, the people elected to rule, are not us. We, the people, we're the us. I don't care if your propaganda exposure made you pick team blue or team red. Largely, neither of those fucks want to actually lead, they just want to sit on the heap. If the red team makes someone actually interested in leading, great, but they're too busy indoctrinating racists and religious nut jobs so they don't actually have to do their jobs. Team blue is similar, but their vector of control (minority groups who "have no other choice" and white people who are scared of seeming racist) at least makes them attempt to do the job they're elected to do. But they will wiggle their way out of it at their soonest convenience.

We have almost 50 years of examples of Republican Presidents, Congressmen, Senators and Supreme Court Justices ignoring the rules and societal norms to further their right wing agenda. While the left adheres to those same rules.

This last President has shown we can’t afford anymore of your line of thinking.

Yes, and while you're dutifully keeping track of the other team, during those same 50 years, the Democrats have backslid into conservativism light. I'm not saying "they go low, we go high" I'm saying that the rules need to apply to everyone. I'm saying thinking of politics like sports ball makes everyone kind of suck. Go out, talk to your conservative friends, make them understand that it doesn't matter who leads, we need them to actually talk about and do the action of leading. If their politicians choose whipping people into frenzies about literally anything other than the job of running the country, they need to go.

Who said I was rooting for the Democrats?

Jesus, man. What the fuck are we doing here?

Melania Trump is the only First Lady in U.S. history whose pussy you can see on the internet.

Wait really? How did i miss this?

Considering the company she keeps, it is probably the most gangrenous thing. 0/10, would not watch in the first place.

So, guess Rogan is cool with the pedophile in chief again? Just zero fucking self respect, anything for mooooooorrreee.

again

I was never aware he stopped being a maga fan.

Maybe not as far as "stopped being a maga fan", but I just seemed to remember seeing numerous headlines over the last year of his increasing problems with him. Here is a bit, but honestly never have listened to the schmuck, so it was just from seeing random stuff online about it.

He just had an old buddy on his show a few days ago who was talking to him about how Trump had turned on Republicans, specially about selling out federal land. Rogan agreed, starts ranting about the Epstein files, but then immediately talks about how great Trump is, and how cool he is in person, and just how much he "loves america." His pal then talked about how the upcoming whitehouse fight was shameful, and that government should lead, not put on entertainment, and Rogan just fully stopped pretending to push back at all.

Rogan rants and raves, but he is close friends with Trump. He won't turn his back on him.

When you're selling yourself it doesn't ever pay to have scruples.

he will lick whoevers ass will give him money and attention, trump, magat base, Putin.

If he dies

He dies oh no, anyway.

I hope before the next fight.

It's such a low-stakes conspiracy theory. What would even be the benefit of going through all the trouble?

racist edge lord

fash signalling.

There is no logic to it, just some sort of aesthetic. Obama is Satan, transgender people are Satan, I'm so 9000 IQ I can see Michelle Obama is trans hence Satan. It's a way of feeling good about themselves. Some sort of hatesturbation if you will.

Does he just randomly say this out of the blue? Or what kind of contrived prompt is used to steer down this path of dialogue?

Was there a Kalshi bet on him saying it or some shit like that?

This is probably the right answer, and I can't fully describe the ennui it provokes. It's like seeing the neighbor's kid you watched build a treehouse with his dad when he was 10 grow up to be repeatedly arrested for drunk and disorderly.

Fuck kalshi. I hope that shit burns to the fucking sub basement. Their shitty adds alone are enough for every cunt involved to deserve a curb stomping.

Id bet the trump administration/trump himself told him to say that, and he'd get something for it. Be it money or something else.

This is what happened: 100%.

Donald wanted another distraction from the Epstein files and he got one. Another little bit of script for his reality show presidency.

that's what those worthless crypto "bonus" payouts are for.

Big "I'm going to disneyland" vibes here

Sure. But still, was it out of the blue, or did they come up with some kind of script to force it into context?

Probably wasn't money. They're not even getting any of that for the fight.

I watched it. This was the post-fight, in-the-octagon interview. He just said it to capture headlines. The cameras then panned out to the huge crowd full of shirtless morons whooping it up.

This is worse than Idiocracy.

Probably promoted by repeatedly getting hit on the head.

....what a fucking loser

"Regularly concussed man has stupidist possible opinion and tells it to a rich clown"

Did anyone expect anything better from the White Trash House?

The media said nothing about it. The so-called free press is 100 percent complicit.

Yeah well, did you see how quickly that stupid moron reporter backed down after she actually asked a challenging question to stupid Trump. Now she's begging for another fucking interview and promising to be a good little girl. Anybody who watches that bullshit is stupider than she is.

“Mmmm yeah, I mean it’s humiliating enough, but isn’t there something, like, more you could do to embarrass the nation?”

I really don't understand these kind of people. Like, ok, you won. You can afford not to say that shit. It costs you nothing.

Saying that shit makes Trump morons want to give them money, so they can literally profit off of bigotry.

When have you ever known a redneck not to say something stupid when given the opportunity?

There are so, so many people these days who would have been much better off if they'd just shut up and fucked off to enjoy their fame and money.

Guliani, Musk, the idiot this headline refers to, Tim Allen, Roseanne Barr, Kevin Sorbo... etc. etc. on and on and on. I'm sure I'm forgetting another dozen or so examples.

If all of these people had just stayed out of it, kept a low profile, and just not said the quiet part out loud, they'd all still have a legacy and probably still be on Trump's good side. But they just can't do that. It's pathological.

Edit: The MAGAts will only like them as long as there's not a more successful celebrity who backs Trump. The support they get from his cult is as a consolation prize. It's not recognition of their achievements or talent, it's just for being someone who says nice things about their guy.

those celebreties you mentioned had brain damaged from strokes and drug, alochol abuse, those things dis inhibit your true colors. tim allen seems to have became that after P45, like MIKE ROWE.

Rent fucking free.

Is that a compliment since being a woman is "bad" and everyone knows that being married to a woman makes you gay (per Andrew tate).

So from that perspective they may be complimenting the Obamas. 😅

Who can know these things.

Was Andrew Tate the one who fisted himself on live cam to prove he was straight? I'm sure I remember hearing something like that about one of those guys. Kinda respect a move like that, TBF. I hope it catches on.

Gavin McInnes, Proud Boys founder.

Had to look this up. This fucking world man.

Ah, my mistake, thanks. Still, they're all kind of a type, aren't they? Not that there's anything wrong with the fisting, it's the militant bigotry that's the problem.

tate has inclination hes into something other than women.

your thinking of proud boys owner, he used a dildo to penetrate himself.

Well, that's just embarrassing. And Rogan stands there grinning like a monkey. The world thinks we're stupid...because we are.

Rogan takes everything as a joke so he doesn't have to think too hard.

I lost respect for him that I didn't even know I had left.

Did he lose a fight to her or something?

He probably realised she’s more centered and at peace than he is and that threatens his toxic masculinity.

Imagine you have to explain that headline to someone in 2015.

Imagine having to teach it in American History in 2035

Future American history will be like Roman history, where they talk about Caligula making his horse a senator

Nah, aside from the WH UFC fight, the "Michelle Obama is trans" bullshit has been floating around since 08 when Obama was running the first time.

While being true, surprisingly enough, this is not the weird part about that headline.

Unfortunately, this stupid bullshit existed then too

UFC fights at the white house with the pedo-president's son wanting to rig it and a fighter calling a first lady a man? In a single day. Nah, I don't think so.

Don't forget raging at The Weather Channel because they predicted a 60% chance of thunderstorms. Even the weather forecast is woke, apparently.

You juat tell them that "Idioceacy happenned"

Were you not here for everything that happened after 08??

Joan Rivers said it in 2014, it was all over the place in 2015.

Trump has no class.

Before anyone says "what does this have to do with Trump?" - This is an event hosted by Trump for his birthday using tax payer money. Admonish the fighter all you wamt but this is an environment fostered by Trump. As stated in a comment above, the fighter was probably paid to say that, with Trump in the audience, on his birthday. Probably paid him in Trump coin or something.

This is an event hosted by Trump for his birthday using tax payer money.

I still can’t fucking believe that’s legal. How is it that he gets to spend $60 million on turning the White House into white-trash trailer-park ghetto cage match on the tax payer dime.

The US 1% finally went mask off and don't care what the general public thinks of them now. Trump was the permission structure that allowed it.

Uh, wait for autonomous crowd control before it gets really mask off. Then those people fighting in cages will not do it voluntarily anymore and certainly not getting paid.

Too right

Trump was elected because of the permission structure.

No functioning republic would allow him past the primary. This is one of the unintended (joke) side effects of Citizens United and Super PACs, it just took a few years and billionaires are sharing the stage with Presidential victors, laughing. There's a huge amount of money behind him, and he got more "free" press than anybody ever.

Because it’s not legal, but it’s an oligarch take over so he’s getting away with it along with a many other things.

It's not legal, but since we are ignoring subpoenas now it's fine.

who knew the secret? Just don't go

The US government has been too unrestrained for generations and it's only getting worse regardless of who is in power. The people aren't ready to do anything about it yet either.

The people aren’t ready to do anything about it yet either.

It's kinda baffling. A country with a violent gun culture obsessed with rising up against any totalitarian government... And yet all of it is just a lie funded by the military industrial complex.

I don't see how any citizen with a gun stands a chance against drone strikes and SWAT teams. The best leverage American workers have over the rich is the same as everywhere else in the world:

  • Stop going to work.
  • Peacefully disobey the authorities.
  • Don't believe the narrative and create art.
  • Form strong local communities and alternative economies.

My 2c anyway.

Any rule (legal, moral, social) is only ever worth as much as its enforcement. Beyond that, it's a mere suggestion. If people obey him, whether his commands are legal is academical. They certainly are effective.

The whole government is occupied. There are not enough sane people left in this administration to do anything.

Disobedience takes a lot of courage. Unfortunately, that seems to be in short supply right now.

Has there ever been a point in history where the entire white house needed to be hosed down in Purell after a White Trash president finally dies?

My prediction? The entire White House will literally be a smoldering crater by the time this administration is done. They'll do the same thing to the others parts as they did the East Wing, and none of the replacement work will be even seriously started before the end of the administration. The next president will be operating out of an old Vietnam-era surplus military tent.

Clinton?

For different reasons, yes

True.

it did get burned down once.

"your ex-president's wife/first Lady humanitarian attorney loved personality has masculine features hahahahaha"

"Bro, you're literally simping for actual Nazis, when this comes to a head, there's a good chance you'll be banished and depending on your actions, hanged for treason"

Don't banish him. Where the hell are you sending him, Australia?

Someplace with no protein, misery, and natural disadvantage for people like him.

...I suppose... that only leaves the one place... That... hasn't been corrupted by capitalism...

It's the void of deep space

In orbit around the sun, somewhere between earth and mars. (and you can't prove otherwise)

Yes. The bush, preferably.

What is this clown show timeline

Well, this sport seems to lead to significant levels of brain damage. I mean, attending this stupid shit show in the first place, then talking stupid shit like that, all while accepting worthless Trump crypto instead of payment.

Stupidity or masochism? You decide.

UFC has a big conservative following in general, especially for gymbros. im not surprised. colby(WHO IS A TRUMPER) was obviously the most vocal one for years prior to P47.

What a weird thing to say.

Super out of place for the occasion, regardless of whether or not there is any truth to it.

Let's say that, hypothetically, this is true. Out of all the angles to compare Trump and Obama, does this guy really think that Trump's relationship with marriage make him look better?

Its like Macho Man Randy Savage, but somehow trashier.

Hey! Whoa! C'mon now! Randy Savage wasn't trashy! He would NEVER approve of what's going on right now!

Hogan on the other hand.....

Yeah Macho Man always looked silly, but he was definitely classier than that

Comparing a trash ass UFC fighter with Randy Macho Man Savage is wrong on so fucking many levels. 😡

I'm going have to agree with this.

There are plenty of trash-ass wrestlers to equate this trash-ass UFC fighter to. Macho Man Randy Savage is not one of them.

Surprised he didn't salute and Hail Tr*mp.

More of one than this clown, for sure.

Proving they're trolls.

Then they're upset that nobody agrees with them "mma is an art". Just complete losers.

"Are you offended by this? Are you offended by this? You have TDS!" (Obama living rent free in their heads.)

Joe Rogan would have instantly made himself a million fans if he had reacted by socking the bigot in the face. Just BLAST. No regerts.

Why would Rogan hit one of his fellow MAGA bigots? He probably agrees with him

HE FOLLOWS where the grifts is at.

Or make a sieg heil pose and get 3 million more fans

Fuck you Dana White and the fucking horse you ride on in.

How it was funny thinking back UFC was then seen as an alternative to WWE, but instead it does get to be an unofficial government department... uh, the "Department of Distractions".

you realize UFC/WWE are 2 peas in a pod. both have pretty much conservative leaning, at least for the owners.

I mean, Linda McMahon is literally in Trump's cabinet…

And it wasn't even the dumbest thing that happened there that day.

How can POC put down other POC? You're not gonna be a white guy no matter how hard you try.

Martin Luther King, Jr.: 'I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.'

Judge him by his character.

racist whites/poc only ever judge people by thier skin color.

they think they wont be the first target of white supremecist when they decide to finally purge them.

POC? He looks white to me.

Looks like he's half Mexican from his mother's side.

Also, only the best people for this trash fire:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Hokit#Transphobia_and_transvestigation_conspiracy_theories

In August 2025 in a post-fight interview at the Dana White Contender Series, Hokit again espoused violence against transgender individuals, stating that "there’s consequences for these types of behaviors in America." In January 2026 at UFC 324, Hokit stated that Olympic gold-medalist and WNBA All-Star Brittney Griner "is a man"

Are all Mexicans considered POC in the US? Mexico has white people who descent from Europeans are those also POC? Ignore my ignorance I'm from Europe.

"POC" isn't really a strictly defined term, so I'm not really sure if Mexican counts as POC. There are plenty of Caucasian presenting Mexicans and there are Hispanic presenting Caucasians. When I looked at this guy for the first time, I really couldn't tell, so I looked him up.

Did he earn some extra Trump Coin for saying that on camera? I bet he did.

trump sure drags a lot of sludge around with him. He can have as many sycophants parroting him as he likes but we all know, deep down, that he knows he ain't above us, he's beneath us.

That website is a pile of toxic javascripts that I'm not willing to navigate, but I'm vaguely curious what kind of spin or context Hokit was trying to add. I could actually see it as some kind of bumbling compliment, but my confidence isn't super-high on that for the time being.

Btw, that fight he just had looked abysmal, with his opponent Derrick Lewis looking like he completely skipped training camp, but did make to sure to hit an all-you-can-eat buffet on his way there. Holy hell, that was bad...

Are fucking kidding? The "Michelle Obama is trans" bullshit has been circulating online for like 15+ years.

There is no "spin" or "context"

Huh. I never heard that one.
Or maybe because it was a case of rubbish in-->rubbish out? *shrug*

So, no... I wasn't fucking kidding. 🙂

yeah I quickly switched to reader view, but the headline is actually enough

Aw... FF browser doesn't seem to have a reader mode, but there is some kind of 'preview mode' that I'm now checking out. It seems to generate bullet-points from the text...

Firefox does have reader mode. It is the little page icon in the address bar

Ah, okay. It's selectively appearing. I get it, thanks.

Some other info is suggesting that F9 can also work.

Yeah I'm not sure what determines it but sometimes it isn't available. For me it is for the linked site though

Umatrix, noscript or libreJS would solve that for you.

uMatrix absolutely did not solve that for me, mainly because unlike others, it was never designed to do that automatically. Fact is, I simply got tired of fishing around for the right javascript out of ~two dozen to enable.

Now if it was more than just a fluff article, that might have been worth such persistence...

@JohnnyEnzyme @stumu415 this is a very typical alt-right talking point that Barack Obama actually married a man named Michael.

It started from the era of appreciating Michelle Obama's arms and her musculature. While the daytime talk shows we're talking about what's your workout routine, the alt right was saying that's mighty suspicious for a woman to be working out to have arms that big, probably just have man tendencies.

And they've been running with it for over a decade now.

He said giddily while tightly grabbing the masculine hands of Slow Rogan.

Mannerisms don’t matter, hell I’m pretty fruity myself. But content and intent does.

Even if Michelle was, then what? Who cares.

Even as a woman she's a better man than any of these fucking losers.

I thought this was a troll comment about trans people, nope, way stupider than that

And you're not.

roids/peds shrunk your brain and balls, so that makes him a woman?

Guess he got smacked in the head too many times

Why do I see 'banned' on the post?

Note that the ban was enacted later than this post here, so it was not directly affected by it.

Keeping up with current topics, I see. Give this man a job at Fox or in the Whote House ffs.

the obamas and trans people both living rent free in their otherwise empty heads

Has anyone checked to see if this POS put a bet on Polymarket to the effect of "one of the fighters will say Michelle Obama is a man"?

For the record, I hate this timeline. At least Idiocracy had some charm.

This really is disgusting and goes back to a general question for all Americans. Around the world politicians and celebrities by and large strive to represent the best of the nation they are from regardless of where on the political spectrum they lean.

Do you feel this best represents you as an American? When you want the world to think of America do you want them to think "they think black people are apes and black women look like men"? Does a man say "Grab women by the pussy" and that's a valid opinion? Is it acceptable for men to rape children?

You don't need to answer. It's rhetorical. You all made your choice it is what you think.

If you voted for him or didn't vote, or voted Republicans in general, listen to Rogan, watch UFC, etc. Get your shit together. We are all laughing at you not with you.

You all made your choice it is what you think.

No, we fucking didn't.

Sometimes the absolutism on Lemmy is exhausting. You’re 100% right.

Ugh can you just stop it already. They're mostly right.

It’s almost like you are purposely trying to negate gerrymandering and the many reasons why people don’t/can’t vote which does not mean they support or agree with something. The world and choices are grey. Always has been. So, can you, and others, stop with the black and white camps you paint the world (or the US) in?

Less than half of the population got Trump elected.

Less than a third, actually. There are ~244m eligible voters and ~77m Trump ballots in the popular vote. I voted for Harris and my state went blue, but the armchair revolutionists are going to keep telling me to do "something" about it like I swore him in personally. Dummies gonna dum.

You’re correct. I didn’t want to get that specific, but it’s an even better point than the less than half that I said. I also voted for Harris and have been part of groups that combat ICE and help those in need locally.

It's always amazing to see who the folks responsible for this naked fascist media are. 9/10 times it ends up being some random assholes with no economic or political clout in a third rate social media comments section.

Then fix it.

Go get shot by the Secret Service and leave your family without a home.

I'll get right on that

The bend over and accept it? You see the problem? If you're actively part of the solution what does that make you?

Sleep walking into Nazi Germany, American edition.

You're a plane ticket away from doing the "something" you keep crying online about us not doing. What's stopping you?

Because this is your mess not mine. Your answer speaks volumes. Reap what you sowed.

I didn't.

What obviously instantly gets me about the "grab em by the pussy" is this and other brags is not just "locker talk"..he's literally admitting and bragging about sexually assaulting women. "When you're a star they let you do it"... Like i guess im preaching to the choir but to me is super easy to draw the line at someone overtly proud of sexually assaulting women.

I'm listening to alot of Norm Macdonald and a popular joke is about Bill Cosby being a hypocrite and how most rapists are hypocrite...Meanwhile we have a president who's literally open about his abuse of women and thats not a dealbreaker for Christians - he's actually sent by god somehow.

That line is what immediately turned me off of Trump and the vast majority of Americans. The fact that didn't bury his political career speaks volumes on the nation the level of acceptance of that type of behaviour.

Politics aside, that is a disgusting human being to be able to say that like it's cool, lockeroom or not. Yet here we are.

She's no more a man than he is.
