Jesse as Donald Trump's VP ! They are making the same Fing points !!!

[@joe-qo3qi]

Ventura relies upon and uses his intimidating persona with great effectiveness. My question is "Y" is he not stepping up to the plate in defense of the American people? He talks about seeking taking that next "Y" in the road when it presents itself? Would relish the day Trump debate's ventura on a national stage debate! Trump would destroy ventura piecemeal taking him apart on every aspect of what it takes to confront the corruption,demonic evil that permeates our current government. Ventura's cheap shots at our next president Trump for the 3rd time are just that cheap intimidating vs affronts to the American Patriots. Trump 2024🇺🇸🦅⚖️🙏

I can sit here, and listen to this man for hours. Very insightful, and genuine.

[@js6752]

He’s genuine to a point…when it comes to running for president, he doesn’t want to do it….”if a party wants to just nominate me without a primary and put me in the debates” - if that’s how he truly thinks things work, then he has no business running. Agree with you otherwise

[@greglinsmythe3375]

Then it’s a match made in heaven because he can talk for hours.

[@paulgiacovelli9754]

@@js6752 The way I see it, he wants to get right to the point. If he’s willing to debate the issues and is confident he’d win why waste time with the primary bs which is meaningless. It’s just a show for the sheep in this country.

[@js6752]

@@paulgiacovelli9754 why would it be meaningless - don’t the people have to right to pick their candidates? What Ventura is actually doing is bluffing and playing chicken…he doesn’t want to be president and knows he could never become president, so he makes everyone else responsible by saying he’d do it if all these impossibilities occur first. That’s doesn’t mean I approve of how primaries are run, but if a former president has to campaign for a nomination, then so should Ventura.

[@scottishdanny2432]

He still has that impeccable voice. WWE really should have him do voice overs.

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

They probably don't want to pay what he would ask for, and deserve. But I agree, for years he could have been doing voice overs with that incredible voice.

He is absolutely correct on the characters today. They are being molded by the companies and no input by themselves. No wonder they are so generic.

It was unprecedented back in the day. The whole WWF roster were all guys picked from territories they were the tops in and all put together in one company. The only other time in history a roster had been that stacked is a prime WCW in the late 90s.

Tennessee Representative Steven Cohen got the show yanked after Jesse stuck his bill HR 645(111) in his face & demanded answers to why there are I/R camps in full operation! Ventura just grilled the staff! Cohen claimed the information he was uncovering, that Cohen denied, was too much for U.S. people to know about. This was 2007! That’s why I didn’t fall for anything the last several years. Jesse warned me.

Jesse---I knew you when we lived in the same apartment complex in Clackamas, Oregon. I knew your wife and she is someone who is even more beautiful inside than on the outside. I saw what a good human being you were in your effort to help others. AND how the kids around you adored you. You are a hero to me, and I'm here to tell you that ---you might deny believing in a divine power------- but you have been the copy of Jesus in the way you treat others and for which you stand. If you were running for president, I would vote for you without having to give much thought about it. And---I am a 84 year old white Christian woman who sees how God-like your behavior is. This country needs you---desperately!!!!
