I really wonder how much they were paid for that endorsement...

I'm guessing a lot.

I remember back when him and his creepy wife we're up there at the Republican National Convention saying that if we elect Obama we will usher in a thousand years of darkness. I laughed at how stupid it seemed. Doesn't seem so silly anymore...

Right. I just didn't stick around to hear the second part of that statement where he said "Obama's election will usher in 1000 years of darkness... AND WE ARE TOTALLY HERE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!"

As far as I'm concerned, Chuck Norris died in 2006 when Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White, Monty Python and the Holy Grail's black knight, and Benito Mussolini and the Blue Meanie, and Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie, Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader, Lo-pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan all came out of nowhere lightning fast and kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass.

Of all showdowns ever, that one was indeed the ultimate.

Head them off at the pass with one of Chuck and Hulk double-teaming Charlie. One gets the mouth, the other gets the neck-hole.

What a terrible day to be able to read

I had no clue he was in the same category as Hogan... i must have missed that one. That sucks.

I don't keep up with celebs and Chuck seems to keep to himself mostly, so easy to miss. Overall I don't get the celeb worship either.

He was always happy to lend his fame to the GOP.

And, I mean, it's not exactly surprising that a rich White meat-head is MAGA. It's only surprising when they aren't.

Ugh. Dotard steals another rightwing celebrity’s life force.

[–] 1dalm@lemmy.today 3 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, I'm generally having a hard time being sad when someone over 60 dies anymore.
