CEO Dana White has long been an ally of President Donald Trump and his administration. Agents would be trained in hand-to-hand combat.

The FBI plans to offer the Ultimate Fighting Championship an exclusive one-year contract to train its special agents in hand-to-hand combat, according to a document released by the agency in September.

The UFC, according to the bureau, is “the sole qualified vendor” capable of providing tactical training that meets FBI standards. The justification for the contract cited the “expertise” the multibillion-dollar global media business has in mixed martial arts, striking techniques, grappling and takedowns.

The bureau said that market research determined that “no other vendor can provide comprehensive training encompassing all required skills at the necessary expertise level within the required timeframe.”

    , and now he wants to privatize health care, public transit, among other things.

    I don’t care whatever other word vomit you typed out, I stopped reading here. No one in the Federal Government wants to privatize healthcare or public transit, especially “among other things”. If you want to spread your American ignorance, take it somewhere else. I’m aware that the Average American has a 6th grade education, you don’t need to show me your personal example.

    I’m enjoying watching your country fucking crumble while morons like you claim “There’s nothing we can do about it” while criticizing other countries. Ignorant idiots like you deserve everything that is happening. I just wish your own moral failures didn’t affect the rest of us.

    But sure, keep on blaming the voter. It’s the easiest way for you to remove complicity, isn’t it?

    Just caught this while I was proof reading my comment. Yes, I will 100% blame the voter. Because when people like you blame billionaires, corporations, and misinformation, that takes the onus of the issue from the voter. “I didn’t vote because billionaires control everything so why bother”. You are literally just as much of the problem as all of them. You’re taking blame away from people. People, like you, who blame every problem on something else or someone else, and not take any responsibility for their own actions. Not voting is a CHOICE. A poor choice but a conscious decision.

    If you want to blame everyone else for why you don’t vote, you’re an ignorant, uninformed, lazy piece of shit who shares all the blame with the rest of the billionaires and corperations.
