Maybe Paul, Weiss should have set up a booth advertising their expertise in handling slip-and-fall cases.

A solider in uniform is handing out free cans of Phorm Energy, an America250 sponsor co-owned by Dana White. A rep from the company was taking a selfie with the soldier handing the products out.

1. Probably a bad place to be promoting that crap. No real exposure at a low turn-out event ...

...
Just sent this to them .....

If I hadn't heard of your sponsorship of fascist dictatorship in the US, I would have most likely tried your product. Lay down with corrupt politicians, wake up with a smaller market.

I am a vet. I shop with my conscience, You might consider your marketing with some conscience yourselves.

3. I wouldn't be surprised

I saw a product placement somewhere else during the run up to this but I forgot what it was.

6. But quite like the Italian fascist symbol's axe blade ...

10. Ah, that's it. Thank you.

[marble falls]

13. The symbol itself originated in Rome. It meant to signify the strength of being a citizen of Rome. That the ...

... state supported and was supported by citizens. When FDR used it, it was to signify that the the state was in the embrace of the people and the state operates in the people's will. Il Duce meant it mean the state can cut people to bits if they don't support the state.

5. trump will sell America to

the highest bidder as long as he gets the proper cut. So the military is ok with this. What has happened to us. Anyone who sees this from around the world knows we are for sale and can't be trusted. MAGA my ass.

Yeesh. He degrades everything. EVERYTHING.

Boy, they're sure trying to memory-hole the one time they were supportive of a transgender influencer, aren't they.
