International Ambassador of Fitness and Health would suit him better.

Ukraine banned Seagal from entering the country for five years, citing national security reasons.

We should ban him as well, if we can’t deport him for his insane pro Russian views, then at least we could kick him out for the brain dead movies he’s been in.

WTF?

I guess they figure Donny will pay attention to Seagal because he’s “a star.” In the same way Donny thought he himself was a star.

Probably doesn’t rise to the level of treason, but damn, it seems to be only a few inches short.

Neither “Fitness” nor “Health” comes to mind when looking at this guy.

Is this a step up or down from being Arpaio’s deputy in charge of killing puppies?

So is there a reason he should still have US citizenship after taking a post in a foreign government inimical to us?

If this were any other Administration, this would be such a laughably stupid move that this would dominate the news for quite a while.

But it’s Trump.

Speaking of Bad Acting and Assholery, years ago Chuck Norris kept calling Seagal a phony, fourth-rate martial artist and repeatedly challenged him to a fight.

I was disappointed that they never battled, forever dashing my hopes that they would kill each other.

Our international alliances are Under Siege since the idiot president believes he is Above The Law. It’s Hard to Kill the idea that, with this appointment, Russia is Out For Justice.

This comment made possible by many, many hours of bad movies.

Isn’t he a fat slob now? And how much beard dye did he accidentally consume while trying to get that scraggly mouth-muff to look black?

Where is HUAC when you need it? Well as the occupant of the White House said “when you’re a star…”

This would be funny were it not so completely tacky and foolish and asinine.

He’s not a phony, but Aikido is pretty limited. As I understand it, its roots are in developing a hand-to-hand style for when you’ve been disarmed, lost your sword, and need to desperately go for a disarming/disabling/crippling move against your opponent. Norris would’ve obliterated him, but still, Norris got his ass handed to him by one of the “royal family” of Brazilian Jujitsu (the Gracies). THAT is the real shit and they are all JACKED from it too. They don’t break bones or snap necks in competition, but man, they’d have you tied up and broken in seconds in a real fight, and the stamina it requires is INSANE. Watch some on youtube…it’s nuts. Frankly, that’s what we should teach kids in gym class, instead of dodge ball. DISCIPRINE!!!

Where’s your dancy-pants kicks and strikes now, Chucky?

Ended up learning about it a bit playing on youtube and watching Joe Rogan clips. That dude is the real deal actually. Taekwondo black belt and a black belt in Brazilian Jujitsu. Actually, so is Ed O’Neil, who trained under the Gracies. Yep…Al Bundy could kill you quick haha
