I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I am really interested in what remaining Trump-voting supporters I have left think about their tax dollars that they were apparently very concerned about being wasted, now going to heavily advertising for ICE recruitment during pro wrestling shows. That's a good use of tax money??

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Ubisoft had the chance to make something cool and they chickened out

Culture Crave 🍿 @culturecrave.co · 12h

Ubisoft canceled an 'Assassin's Creed' game set after the Civil War

• Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave

• Would fight the emerging Ku Klux Klan

• Leadership canceled it — concerned with US political climate & Yasuke backlash

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Remember the shit Eddie got for missing his finish on Big Bill? This is thrice as egregious but nobody will say a thing about it.. (mostly because nobody is watching TNA anyways)

That glass breaking sound effect being added in was hilarious 😂 #AEWDynamite

My legitimate reaction when I saw the long legged singlet

#AEWDynamite

A screenshot from the movie The Mummy Returns. Three men, with a hat or head dressing on, button up shirts and the man on the left is holding a gun while the man in the back is pointed at the man on the right who is holding a poorly photoshopped image of the wrestler PAC who is wearing long legged black singlet with the words THIS PAC IS CURSED overlayed

I was really hoping I’d get to see them wrestle each other at WrestleDream since I’ll be there and I haven’t seen a Takeshita match in person yet, but this is a good second option.

It’s definitely not the vibe I’ve been getting. The OC reign did this a lot better, they’re gonna have to do much more than that if that’s what they’re trying to get across

I’m not a “it needs realism” kinda guy when it comes to wrestling, but I think that made everyone just look kind of.. dumb?

I’m sorry but… Mercedes what the hell was that? The match was fine, but the last two kick outs she didn’t even roll at all to get her shoulder off the mat. That was kinda ridiculous #AEWDynamite

I was reaaaaally hoping we’d get Kenny v Fletcher at WrestleDream. I do not care for Mark Briscoe at all. #AEW

Oh god, please don’t tell me this is leading to a DCF vs Conglomeration match at AEW WrestleDream. A bathroom break is nice but nobody is buying a ticket to watch The Paragon be incredibly boring.
