Francis also responded to a fan who tried to knock Triple H by posting a photo of he and the rest of the McMahon Family with President Trump.

Francis responded with a photo of Trump shaking the hand of former President Obama and writing, "Meeting with Trump doesn't mean that you believe with every single thing he believes in. Grow up."
Motherfucker, that's not the same loving thing!

"Hey can you sign this thing for a charity auction, the same charity that me, one of your best friends and most everyone else in our bible group has been talking about for the last month. The same bible group your other best friend is part of it too. Oh wow you didn't hear about any of this? The group that's been going viral the last two months?"

You are right he definitely didn't ask what charity and has managed to not hear about it at all. He wouldn't even be mildly curious despite the group lining up with his own political beliefs.

He also thanks HHH for the support in the text that got cut off.

It's 1000% more likely HHH got wind of Drake doing an auction of a signed WM 34 ref shirt and suggested they'd raise more money if he signed it instead of Drake.

People dying on the hill of “HHH will be better though” each time he does poo poo like this, at what is now at least the thirtieth time he’s done terrible poo poo now, just tells me they’ll let anything slide. editing the rest out because it borders on rant, but this is an obvious pattern (for him and for his defenders)

Thanks for responding to my post. I appreciate the support.

I'm all for fairness. If HHH says "Oh, I'm sorry, I had no idea that charity was actually some insane rear end conspiracy theory about Democrats running pedophile rings and Trump secretly being the sole force combatting them and also antisemitism" then ok. Maybe you weren't the bad guy on this one.

But like... there's no reason to make the excuse for him especially given all that other stuff.

If it were like Ruby Riot my reaction would be "Man, I hope that's just her being sucked in by misleading poo poo." But like I would have no idea if it was or not. I'd just hope and kind of put it on her to correct the record.

But like... HHH? I have no expectations of a better person there.

Yeah he's already shown he's on board with all of the terrible poo poo that has become WWE protocol and not only will he be just as guilty when Vince dies but he might even be worse being that he has the opportunity to change things when he's gone and very likely wont

HHH will always be the guy who chased away people by allowing assholes like Bill DeMott and the rest of those monstrous fucks treat trainees like garbage, his judgment is dogshit and WWE will always be bad as long as the Vince, Stephanie, and Haitch are in power.

Triple H has done enough specifically verifiable awful things that there's no need to conspiracy theory up new reasons to hate him

People want to believe that Triple H will make WWE better because WWE is important to them and they don't want it to be unsalvagable, especially when the message every single shoot interview even unto this very month pounds into their heads it "EVERYTHING BAD IS VINCE AND VINCE ALONE." When that's the message its easy to make up excuses in your head like "Triple H HAS to say they did a thorough investigation, but Vince is the one who made the call to keep pushing Velveteen/Riddle," no matter how big the holes in those excuses are.

I don't blame them for hoping that the red flags are red herrings and once Hunter has the actual power things will change overnight. Even I carry a tiny, withered torch for a day when WWE isn't horrible, and Triple H is unfortunately the only practical vector for that torch to continue existing for my foreseeable lifetime

Luckily the last few years have done enough damage to my love and enough alternatives have been made available to me that I can easily let go if the day comes and nothing gets better because he was exactly as bad as the red flags indicated.

(There's also the fact that NXT was really good for a long time and the decline in its quality was so much worse once Vince got involved in it its easy to forget it started faltering before that. Which makes it easier in general for people to ignore the bad signs.)

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I also see HHH being more smiley/chummy to peoples faces and then doing the lovely things behind their back and blaming Vince and otehr higher ups. And he is better at deflecting blame off himself and claiming that he didn't know, or wasn't informed.

As an example: look at the way he deflected the blame on the racist ACH shirt. He claims he consulted ACH, he claims he took that feedback into consideration, and then he claims that he had no idea that what eventually came out of that consultation and feedback turned out to be racist. "it's not my fault fellas, I did the right thing." Just like with the "investigation" into real life paedophile Velveteen Dream. "I did the right thing in making an investigation. It's not my fault if because of some magic corporate stuff the investigation was weak as piss." It's not my fault.

Which is different to Vince and his "I'm Vince McMahon dammnit. I say jump and you say how high without sneezing!" Which is a lot easier to point the finger at and blame.

So when HHH does take over, the horror will still be there, and maybe even some extra bits because of HHH's "am I going over?" personality. But the blame will be deflected off of his shoulders due to his weasel ways.
