He was a famous (infamous) wrestler when it hit the big time on TV with people like Hulk Hogan etc.

He also went on to become 38th Governor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003.

 

 

He's the Wrestling version of Clint Eastwood 

(although not quite as famous and Jesse was Govenor of a State, Clint was only mayor of a town).

Who is Jesse Ventura, or is this another Americans only thread?

 

Jesse Ventura lives in Mexico, off the grid. Getting his electric power from the sun, he has never owned a cell phone.. He served in the military, was in sports entertainment, was a mayor, then governer, hosted TV shows, wrote books, and now has his own TV show on Youtube called "off the grid" where he sticks it to the global elete, and exposes corruption in government.

 

He said he will run for president, (of the US) but only if he can get 50 state ballot access, and get into the debates.

He has a bit going for him, I just don't think enough of it to carry him over the line !

 

He'd get a fair bit of the military vote for a start !

Military would never vote for him.  Remember he sued the widow of war hero Chris Kyle.  That tells you where his brain is located.

 Chris Kyle was not a hero, he lied about Jesse Ventura, You show me where Jesse said what Kyle accused him of saying, show me!

Did Chris Kyle Lie About Jesse Ventura?- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8UDsBTAtTE

 

Former Minnesota Governor and U.S. Navy Underwater Demolition Team member Jesse Ventura clears the air on his lawsuit against Chris Kyle, the late Navy SEAL sniper who defamed Ventura in 2012. Jesse makes his remarks following an especially vindictive media response to the lawsuit to clear his name and save his reputation.

 

Chris kyle is a bald face lier, it has been proven in court.

Joanie,

What did you do for Christmas? And what are you going to do for New Years? You need to get off the Merry-go-round, take a breath of fresh air. Clear your mind, kick start something that makes you happy this year.

Unfortunately Kyle didn't have an opportunity to speak in court........

Unfortunately Kyle didn't have an opportunity to speak in court .

 

Actually he did, look at the video, He had plenty of time and chances to proove what he said and failed. All Jesse Ventura was looking for was for them to admit the truth, they refused, they even offered him money, Jesse didn't want money, he wanted to clear his name. It's not Jesse's fault Chris Kyle died, Jesse didn't kill him. How can people put this on Jesse Ventura, is similar to how people go along with what the police say about me. No matter how much proof I offer to the contrary, I'm still lowlife criminal scum. You should know, your one of those promoting that idea.

I might if it was warmer, and if the bike had a kick starter, and if the sheriffs didn't take everything. including my bike after what they did to me. If I get on dad's bike, the cops would take that and dad, wouldn't be too happy with me, he would go along with police and blame me too.

Once again it all goes back to you...the center of all attention   Look around, there are others living in this world besides you....most don't wallow in self-pity though.

 

 

Why would anyone want to vote for an individual who has so little regard for his nation that he abandons it?  And speaking of liars, Jesse claims he was a SEAL..........absolutely untrue.  He was UDT. 

Much ado about nothing and not sure he ever made that big a deal out of it.

As someone else said, he earned his status. Hell, less than 1% of the world population could pass BUD/S and he did that.
