@atrupar We are beginning to normalize this crap, we should not lose sight of the fact that this is THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA engaging in this demeaning bullshit
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.
@DaveInPa1469@Itswithan_s@MAGACult2 Harris made the statement about the little girl on the bus,not Biden. Your arguments are nonsensical. Go educate yourself and come back to the conversation.
In a new video, Jo Frost, aka Supernanny, warns that some modern parents are hindering their kids’ independence by choosing short-term convenience over teaching basic life skills.
The Instagram post featuring the video is filled with comments from teachers agreeing with her that it’s a growing concern.

@WalkFromDems@ChefAnthonyDC The beauty of America is we can pray to who we want,love who we want,eat what we want and live where we want. Freedom doesn’t mean I agree with what you do. It means I respect your right to do it. Many people don’t get to enjoy this because of people like you!
It’s not their flag - it’s ours. It’s a proud American symbol, and it doesn’t belong to Trump or MAGA. This weekend, take back our flag and share with us how you’re displaying your patriotism #TakeBackTheFlag
@realDonaldTrump You arrogant, silver-spooned clown.
It wasn’t you. It was never “guys like you.”
It was the deaf laborers hammering steel until their ears bled, the Black slaves whose blood, sweat, and broken bodies literally built the foundations of this nation’s wealth while your ancestors were probably counting their inherited coins. It was the indentured servants treated like disposable dogs, the starving Irish fleeing famine only to dig your canals and lay your railroads, the Chinese workers blasted apart building the transcontinental line for pennies and contempt, the Italians, Germans, Jews, Scots, and English tradesmen pouring their muscle and skill into factories, mines, and shipyards.
It was the pioneers and farmers who broke the prairie with their bare hands, buried their children in frozen ground, and fed this country through droughts, blizzards, and plagues. The fishermen risking their lives on wooden boats so your kind could eat lobster in Manhattan. The common men and women—the “complainers,” as you sneer—who actually did the work while robber barons and dandy boys with daddy’s money sat back, exploited them, and took all the credit.
You and your fellow trust-fund grifters couldn’t build a goddamn birdhouse without hiring real people to do it for you. You inherited wealth, stiffed workers, filed bankruptcies, and played golf while calling yourself a builder. Without those “ingrates” you love to shit on—the ones who actually sweat, bleed, and die for this country—you’d be nothing. A loudmouth real estate heir with a big mouth and zero calluses.
The complainers? Many of them are the descendants of the people who made America possible while your crowd was busy hoarding it. They have every right to complain when pampered elites like you lecture them about “building” from your golden tower.
This country was built from the bottom up by the forgotten, the immigrant, the laborer, the slave, the farmer—not by blowhard billionaires who think slapping their name on a building makes them Paul Bunyan.
Sit down, Donny. The real builders are still carrying this nation on their backs, and they see right through your nonsense.
There are credible allegations made against Donald Trump that he mutilated a child’s nipples while raping her.
Allegations so serious, his inner circle had to meet in the Situation Room to discuss them.
I mean, how the fuck isn’t this the biggest scandal in the world right now?
This racist piece of crap at the Karmelo Anthony trial is @iisisaldaiine (Isis Rose Akers). She is 22 and she must really be a lonely, pathetic, hateful person.
Make her famous. Make sure she never works anywhere where she has to deal with people who aren’t white.
