    Just because you can run for presidential or other elections, doesn’t always mean you should. Sick of these damn celebrities and shit coming up to take a swing. Look at the damage caused by one ‘celebrity’ in two fucking terms! All it takes is one! And yes I know of the other guy.

    On reading the headline, I thought I must be misremembering who the name Connor McGregor referred to but apparently no. Granted, as an American, I’m not one to throw stones.
