Holy shit. >Dana White, President and CEO of UFC®. He is Trump representative. Old friend and dirty businessman.

As if board directors are chosen for other reasons than connections.

You'll need to elaborate on your allegations to convince anyone here and what FB missed in their diligence.

We are truly privileged to witness the self-destruction and downfall of an empire. Take good notes so that future generations can learn what really happened and why.

I find the big push towards supporting and white washing a second Trump term fairly astounding because it feels like Trump is really good at scapegoating the people around him.

I don’t outright disagree with most of the things Mark says (his words not my impression of the significance of them), but I do feel like Trump is going to push everyone around him to cross their own ethical/moral boundaries. Not everyone who is supporting Trump right now can be a winner, almost definitionally.
