President Comancho going to make an appearance?

We shouldn't be having a 250th birthday party for the nation.
We should be having a funeral.
Wait - there is a literal Ultimate Fighting event? Or have I been duped by the comments? Cuz that’d be the trashiest thing ever. Last person I personally knew who went to the White House 2 yrs ago was chastised for wearing open toed shoes, this is a whole new low for such a previously sacred place.
replies:
I haven't followed the UFC for years since I realized that Dana White was an evil man and the UFC is an exploitative organization which abuses all of its fighters.
But I am guessing that this event will be on Pay-Per-View like most of their events, and so the UFC will cover the construction costs.
But at for who is paying for it, I would argue that all Americans are paying for it as a weakening of the Constitution, as Presidents historically can't favor any specific private company using the White House, which if I remember correctly, are laws related to the emoluments clause of the Constitution.
And all humans everywhere are paying for it as a strike against basic human dignity and the progress of civilization. We're back in Ancient Roman times watching gladiators fight in the Colosseum.

Bread and circuses, now with 90% less bread!

Who's paying for this UFC bullshit that they're building at the White House?
Same people who are paying for the fucking ballroom.
Hey, the best way to defund the oligarchy is to live a frugally as possible, cancel all your subscriptions, buy the least branded, least advertised bulk products you can. Don’t buy from major chains when you can avoid it. Turn on an ad blocker, or even better adnauseam.
If you can’t get some digital media direct from the artists, pirate it. Fuck the ethics discussion, any money you spend through an app store or through a major subscription service is quietly getting funneled to this shit.
Deny them your dollars and put your money away till things improve. Be a consumer on strike if that’s the least you can do.

This isn’t for another couple of weeks what are they doing. Also, this is pure white trash.
President Violence is having his kink delivered to the lawn.
replies:
Does anyone not know the answer to this question? It's just like it was in the feudal era. If you saw something being built, it was either for the church or the king and you paid for it.
replies:
The taxPAYers
It's in your job description. Don't complain /s
Well you can have an Idiocracy President-Camacho-style-intro without lights and stuff.
That'll get trump all revved up for his post-fight, tween adventure. /s
Who’s paying
They voted it in
This is the US to its core. Half the other sides voters will subscribe to this pay per view.
Trump is a symptom.
replies:
The bread has gone stale and the circus is lame
It's not even a real sport. It figures Trump's favorite sport would be two guys beating each other senseless. He's nothing short of the American Caligula. He'd have them fight to the death, if he thought he could get away with it.
replies:
All we need is a NASCAR event on the White House lawn and the circus will be complete - modern gladiator battles and modern chariot races? How could the plebians possibly be upset?
replies:
I know the joke is already old but it's crazy how similar current US is to Idiocracy. The reality tv star pedophile president is building a wrestling cage, the minister of education is wrestling fantasy network CEO lmao the reality is so unserious.
If anyone thinks this is not peak decline of an empire I really don't know how. If not for all people that are hurt by this change it would be funny and I wish I didn't care because say what you want - this is incredibly entertaining. If I was a human hating alien I wouldn't skip a single US episode.
Oh! That wasn't a joke?
Was knowledge before the election no? Should have voted/voted differently
Next up, we turn The Ellipse into the Circus Maximus. I mean, it's already got the right shape for the chariot races.

Worshipping pedophiles and watching grown men smash each others faces in is more important to Americans than living.
Change my mind.
president Camacho will love this!

I don't expect this to do well and I'm really looking forward to it failing. Of course the Orange Jackass will brag about how successful is regardless, but that's because what passes for his brain is stuck in a loop.
Interm titles are not real titles.
Pussy-slapping contest
That made me snort my morning coffee. LOL
At least we'll see an American get knocked out cold on the white house lawn for the main event.

That's state fair. No, county fair, no, that's... Have you ever seen the way Filipino families throw huge parties for their kids? Like, two hundred people come over to watch a dude whose eyes can't focus drool onto a slice of pie, which sounds an awful lot like my average breakfast now that you don't mention it (drool and pie yum!), and celebrate the mother and father but really the mother surviving that first year. Honestly I've been a little jealous as soon as I learned about the cultural tradition, as the most I ever got did for my birthday was someone burnt a hotel. Okay that kind of is a lot. Well okay we were at a hotel fire and threw an impromptu gig, calming a panicky crowd and were given a promise that we could come back and book some for free if we ever wanted. I really should take them up on that, those rooms are expensive and not in the United States.
But anyways this bullshit up there looks like the chintzy end of the fourth birthday party a rich Filipino family threw for their two year old that year.
