Very good! HH may never see it (but maybe he will!), but other people will.

So I’m on a couple MAGA forums, and one of the latest talking points is that the MSM is lying about the 1939 madison square garden rally. Because folks, MSG was built in 1968!

Of course they failed to read fully that the Madison Square Garden constructed in 1968 replaced a building called…Madison Square Garden.

Also the nazi rally has been a continuous part of history since it happened. Do liberal media have a time machine (in addition to a hurricane maker)?

Turns out it’s easier than I thought it would be, though I did tear a different shirt for practice first because I didn’t want to botch it on camera. 🙂

It’s quite the coincidence that Trump has a prominent supporter with a stage name that has the initials ‘HH’.

Hogan used to sign his tweets “HH” to indicate that he’d written them himself as opposed to when his agent would tweet for him, then stopped because people weren’t getting that it meant “Hulk Hogan” and not the other thing.

I’m not sure the distinction matters much any more.

Cornette has some really backwards opinions about wrestling (e.g. he thinks they should go back to the days of 100% pretending it’s real and making wrestlers live their gimmick all the time when in public), but he’s spot-on when it comes to politics.

I’m sure this video of a Trump person saying shitty/insulting things won’t make a dent, but if it motivated even one voter to switch to Harris and oppose assholes who think only males should vote I’d take it.

“Madison Square Garden” was called that because it was located – get ready – in Maison Square. (As a kid, it bothered me that Madison Square Garden was _round_.) In fact, the first two Madison Square Gardens were located near Madison Square.

The present MSG is the fourth of that name, even though it’s not near Madison Square. And it’s round.

No squares or cubes growing in Madison Square Garden.  
No good place to put a corpse in the Bier Garden.  
And, trust me, the chocolate eggs in the Kinder Garden taste like shit.

Guys, it’s really simple. _Barack_ Obama was pulling Biden’s strings, and _Michelle_ Obama was pulling Kamala’s. But Michelle has really been a Barack clone in drag all along, so once Kamala’s president they can retire the clone and just let Barack run things.

You can get really lost in there. Take the wrong door and you end up in a completely different part of the building.
