Two days ago, I posted about @Stubhub duping my family's w/r/t the @FIFAWorldCup. We were given a "Fan Guarantee," which can basically be refunded the day of a match (after spending lots of money on travel). Two days ago, @TeamStubHub promised to help, then ... silence.
Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
I wrote this last year in my nuked account. Everyone I repost it, it makes more sense than the previous time. Take a look and please share. It was only 6 days before the account was completely disappeared by X. But I always have receipts.
Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”

All right Michelle Obama, enough of the "we go high" shit. It's time to sue Trump, Dana White, Joe Rogan and the UFC into bankruptcy. For the intentional and malicious defamation of your person, that was streamed to millions of people..
FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.
BREAKING: Paolo Zampolli indicated if João DIVORCES Amanda all charges would be dropped. Also, Paolo would then set Amanda up in a NYC apartment. This is the work of a NARCISSISTIC PSYCHOPATH who wants to control those closest to him. The WH is aiding & abetting this criminal.
BREAKING: Amanda Ungaro’s phone was NOT given to Paolo Zampolli by the Aventura police. It was handed over to HOMELAND SECURITY and THEY gave it to Paolo who has possession of it in NYC now. This is corruption at all levels that must be held to account. Keep in mind Paolo used his White House connections to call the current Director of ICE, David Venturella, to ensure Amanda was detained while in police custody before she could post bond, as reported by the NYT. Paolo Zampolli is abusing the power of the White House. He works for us, the American people, not his own interest, or the president’s. This corruption must be stopped at all levels.
MSNow has begun a Tarpwatch—and understandably so.
Trump has now put a *barricade* around the scaffolding and had the tarp affixed to the *sides* of the scaffold so no one can see Kennedy's name on a building that *legally must have that name on it*.
This will go back to court.
