CEO Dana White has long been an ally of President Donald Trump and his administration. Agents would be trained in hand-to-hand combat.
The FBI plans to offer the Ultimate Fighting Championship an exclusive one-year contract to train its special agents in hand-to-hand combat, according to a document released by the agency in September.
The UFC, according to the bureau, is “the sole qualified vendor” capable of providing tactical training that meets FBI standards. The justification for the contract cited the “expertise” the multibillion-dollar global media business has in mixed martial arts, striking techniques, grappling and takedowns.
The bureau said that market research determined that “no other vendor can provide comprehensive training encompassing all required skills at the necessary expertise level within the required timeframe.”
Shit like this shows that it’s not just Trump that’s the problem, but that the MAGA movement as a whole is based on grift and political favoritism at the expense of competent governance.
The maga’s are sheep, it’s the corporate gangsters behind him that are the problem, make no mistake. Also the evangelicals obviously.
No kidding?
I am sarcastic because the situation has been clear for 30 years at a minimum.
You are welcome. You say that, but almost nobody gets it still. Even on lemmy here. We are so fucked.
I was agreeing with you, and calling OP Captain Obvious. Sorry, should have been clearer.
You’re right. The Zombie Apocalypse hit the world hard in the 80s. Most of the zombies don’t know they’re zombies. Some of us do and are flabbergasted others can’t see it.
I’m tired of being a zombie. Time to eat some brains, no?
If the zombies are getting off on brains, maybe eating their brains would be really good no? I think we should look into that.
Agreed.
America is the problem. The whole country allowed (and is still allowing) this to happen.
MAGA isn’t the hero America needed, but it’s the one they deserve.
It scares me that Americans want to go back to life before trump, that should t be the goal. As an American it looks like the left just wants to be able to live in earned privileges again.
“Ignorance is bliss” IS their culture.
But if people would just vote differently and stop doing purity tests then the system would fix itself /copium
I mean little improvements at least. Vote for a candidate you can agree with on some and then keep moving the needle in that direction. But it doesn’t seem to happen in America and times are getting hard so people are shifting to the right.
