Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura Trashes Trump, Threatens to Run for Governor Again After Minneapolis ICE Shooting

Jesse "The Body" Ventura threatened a potential return to the Minnesota governor's office following the shooting of a mother by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.
I don't want him to run, I was a bit embarrassed he was governor when he was, but I do like what he says here.
Americans in position of visibility and authority need to normalize talking about the Republican party as a domestic enemy to the Constitution, in particular. Not calling it what it is just normalizes it.
Considering everything about him, Jesse regularly has far better takes than you’d expect. And as far as former pro wrestlers go he’s practically woke
Vote red and become dead. Might as well take what you can get at this point because any non red will be better.
Oh, agree completely. He's a slightly unhinged mountain man grandpa who happens to be very very right on this issue. But beggars can't be choosers at this point.
Jesse really wasn't that bad of a governor, all things considered. He pumped a lot of money into education across the state and focused on reducing class sizes. He made public transportation a priority. He also supported LGBT rights and abortion.
His hostile relationship towards the press really bothered me, but even that was never as bad as Trump's outright war on journalism and at least he was very consistent in speaking to the voters directly when he felt he was being misrepresented by said press rather than just screaming FAKE NEWS like that's a valid rebuttal...
He wasn't perfect by any measure, and there's a lot he can be rightfully criticized for. But compared to any Republican governor (at least in my lifetime)? Far better.
Yep, at the very least he was governing trying to be good, and had/has a conscience. No comparison to the outright evil for evil's sake going on now.
i dont think people have forgiven him, at least the wrestling fan community over him ditching the wrestlers, because they wouldnt unionize with him which he started, he practically asking to "out to wrestlers to be fired" . he felt safe to do it because had sag-afta money as a backup plan. hulk hogan and vince wouldve retaliated against the wrestlers.
While Trump was avoiding the draft, Jesse stood against the Predator.
He didn't have time to bleed.
Ah, about time to rewatch an old classic. :)
he dint stand with the wrestlers, when he was with raw/wwe when they tried to unionize.
draft-dodging coward:
"You know, if you're young, and in this era, and if you have any guilt about not having gone to Vietnam. We have our own Vietnam. It's called the dating game," he said during a discussion of Trump's well-publicized germaphobia and the ongoing AIDs epidemic.
"It's pretty dangerous out there Robin. It's like Vietnam," Trump said earlier in the interview.
"It is, it is," Stern said. "The dating scene is like Vietnam."
"Dating is like being in Vietnam," Trump said. "You're the equivalent of a soldier going over to Vietnam."

Dodging the Vietnam draft is actually one thing I can't fault Trump for. The whole war was horse shit and had nothing to do with protecting the country.
But comparing it to the risk of getting AIDS is definitely the stupid bullshit I'd expect from him.
i think it's more about using one's privilege to negate the consequences of being poor that everyone else had to suffer
most of the wars were/are bullshit, but yes--vietnam especially
I still do because we all know he didn't do it for some "war is bad" mentality.
Hell even without that mentality he was bitch about it claiming he had bone spurs. Meanwhile a similar tier of shitheel in the form of Ted Nugent had to at least shit his pants.
That's probably part of why he preferred to rape children, he thought they'd have fewer stds.
trump has been trying to embody the "i'm dominant" character for his entire life, as evidenced by pretty much every bullshit thing he says, and the fact that he actually paid people to bring him news articles that praised him.
he's a weak, cowardly, insecure fucking loser who still hasn't been able to convince himself that he's literally jesus fucking christ, even though he's brainwashed millions of poor and uneducated incel degenerates (which he explicitly can't fucking stand either) into thinking that he is.
"is that your bible?"
"ITS A BIBLE"
i've said it before and i'll keep saying it: when he finally kicks the fucking bucket, that day will be my own new personal holiday
I will be setting fireworks off with you when he dies, and on each annual after
his grave will need 24/7 security to keep people from shitting on it
If you read some of the victims' statements, it sounds like he was very paranoid about germs and demanded they use rubber gloves when forced to jerk him off.
nah. being drafted into the military and having no option to say no (unless you're senator's son) isn't the same as hitting the night scene and taking strangers' bodily fluids into your own body by your own volition
For some reason, I thought he had passed away, but I must have been thinking of Rowdy Roddy Piper...
We've also lost the Macho Man Randy Savage.
Hell yeah, come on back up from the Baja.
(Will Sasso impressions have supplanted most of my reference to him these days.)
That impression is the funniest shit to me. The way he says ‘Baja’ just hits right.
you did abandoned the wrestlers when they couldnt unionized with you, for fear of retaliation from vince and HULK HOGAN.
He was leading the unionisation wasn't he? Until Hulk Hogan ratted him out?
yea he was, when the other wreslters were to afraid to join him, he said fuck them and left the company. he had no forethought, because he was financially secure because had acting income from sag-afrta union. the wrestlers did not. hulk was the snitch, thats why he was getting all the spotlight in raw and wwe, he was pratically like the rock when it comes to acting contracts.
Solving problems in USA 101! Maybe you could run for mid term election, but lots of time tor final exams elections.
