Champion UFC fighter Ronda Rousey's Feeling the Bern...

[MrMickeysMom]

(cross-post from Bernie Sanders Group)

“I’m voting for Bernie Sanders, because he doesn’t take any corporate money,” Rousey said. “I don’t think politicians should be allowed to take money for their campaigns from outside interests.”

Holly Holm stuns Ronda Rousey with second-round knockout

Holly Holm rocked Ronda Rousey with a steady stream of punches, and rocked the world of mixed martial arts by knocking out the previously undefeated UFC champion in the second round. One last kick to Rousey’s head sent her to the canvas, as fans at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia, were treated to one of the greatest upsets in MMA history.

14. That's o k, Janey. I sent Ms. Holm a congratulatory e-mail and asked her to endorse Hillary.

8. On the same night Bernie got knocked out?

Ouch.

9. That is an incredible coincidence, isn't it.

4. It's the biggest issue in this campaign. That is why Hillary was so upset when she was asked about

her Wall St donors to the point of not answering the question but going back to 9/11 for some inexplicable reason

16. Speaking of 9/11...

Here's a ditty in today's paper about how much people care about its repercussions...

It took nine years after the attacks for Congress to guarantee health care for the firefighters, police officers, chaplains and others who fell ill as a result of toiling in the dusty ruins of the World Trade Center...
BUT, the Sept 30th reauthorization deadline for the Zadrdoga Act passed without action, sparking a fresh battle that is proving more bitter than the first.

For the first responders caught in the middle, the bitterness is compounded by the respiratory diseases, cancers and other ailments they suffer, and by the realization that money for their monitoring and health care will RUN OUT unless Congress acts before the end of the year.

So much for caring what happen to help the first responders. My own story in government figures right into these non-caring individuals who act so shocked to hear anyone complain that we didn't do all we should have for those responders. Right before I served municipal council, I signed a petition in the hopes of investigating the crime scene of 9/11. There has never been empirical evidence of the cause behind their respiratory disease from those first responder's HORRID exposure. When someone found it necessary to go data mining what I may or may not have had in my background before serving council, several hateful people decided to deride me for signing a document, and along with hurls of insults, threw out the same accusations of being a "truther" for my interest (I'm a respiratory therapist). I realized pretty quickly when serving local government that attacks like this was just a political ploy to destroy my chance of staying on municipal council. In fact, it's pretty desperate when people cannot distinguish the way governmental departments poorly act from those who try to hid their incompetence, such as the Bushies did during this time, which by the way was the perfect opportunity for Clinton to act.

So, the GROSSLY uninformed still think if they should throw the "truther" meme when IF day was questioned. News flash.. it's STILL in question. And, now, because we didn't care enough to do something then and now, these firefighters are still being ignored to their last dying breath...

You think any commenters in this thread were considering the first responders when throwing out that meme? Doubtful.

7. WHAAAAAT? Really?!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. I am not an MMA aficionado but it's my under sanding her whole brand rested on being undefeated.

13. In the interest of candor do you think the seminal poster should change champion to...

In the interest of candor do you think the seminal poster should change champion to former champion?

[wyldwolf]

15. She supported Rosanne Barr last time.

Knows how to pick winners.

[NurseJackie]

19. That cracks me up! For two reasons ...

1) that she voted that way, and b) that she thinks it's something worth bragging about.

[Township75]

17. So a 1%er supports Sanders. WOW!

!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. I was on a sports board and found this. Ronda got wrecked!!!

[NCTraveler]

20. Ronda feeling the Bern.

Immediately redistributes belt.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. I have no animus toward the young woman but she did get a whuppin.

But that's the life she chose.

[NCTraveler]

22. I think she is amazing.

I love her abilities in the ring. No one in this sport is going to go undefeated through a solid career.

That line I used was actually from a facebook post on my newsfeed this morning.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. As I said...

I am not a huge MMA fan. I like boxing. But a large part of her mystique rested on being undefeated. The big money is still in boxing and there is even less money for female combatants.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

25. She'll make a ton of money off the rematch and the rubber match (if she wins fight 2)

People were bored with her destroying everyone in seconds. Now it's a redemption story, like Ali vs Frazier.

[UglyGreed]

24. Funny how

so many women bash a fellow women who has done wonders for women being respected in a so called man's sport. IMO even though she caught a beating she still deserves respect.
