@SlickmediaX You gotta warped perception of reality buddy. When two chicks fight you stay out of it. If she screams in your face laugh it off like a class act. She turned around and he chased her from behind to try and fight her when she wasn’t looking. Pussy shit.
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.
@CTDOTOfficial paid for the front row seat on the bus and even though the bus was empty, the driver singled me out as the only asian male and forced me to sit at the back. no explanation. emailed every member of corporate and no response. @GovNedLamont@FlixBus_NA
@gotrice2024 My neighbor called the cops on me 3 years ago for taking a leak in my backyard at 11pm. She could save my mother from a burning car and I would continue honking. Once that line is crossed you either live with your neighbors hating you or move
@KyleForgeard Was pretty obvious. Putting out content at that scale requires MASSIVE overhead. Someone had to be sacrificing personal profits for the company to have the reserves to grow. I didn’t think it would be THAT drastic though. Kyle really did all he could to hold things together
@Daveea321@BestfriendKick You also can’t harass mass shooting victims and witnesses after being told 20-30 times by police to knock it off. That’s failure to obey a lawful order. He also provoked multiple fights, a clear disorderly conduct charge if they wanted it. 🤡🤡
@Daveea321@BestfriendKick Let me refresh your memory since you were one of the founding fathers. Interference with Public Duties occurs when someone interrupts, disrupts, impedes, or interferes with a peace officer performing official duties (Texas Penal Code § 38.15).
