I'm sure his motorcade driving THROUGH the Reflecting Pool had NOTHING to do with the damage "being caused by vandals and people walking up to it and 'adding algae'"... 🙄

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.
All these "Surveillance... *ahem* "'Data Centers'", combined with an interview with one of Elon's exes, where he bragged about 'having 10,000 lasers in space'...
I thought those satellites were for "global internet"? 🤔
What do LASERS have to do with internet connection? 😡🤬

I hate to admit this but Trump was right.
He said that if I vote for Kamala Harris gas prices, groceries prices and my utility bills will go through the roof.
I voted for Harris and my gas, groceries and utility bills have gone through the roof.
I, like other Democrats, "feel 'aggrieved'' from his 1st term, compounded by his ongoing 2nd term... 😡🤬
-- Where's OUR money?!? 🤔
(Oh yeah, I forgot...
We're Dems who weren't there on "J-6"...🙄)...
I'm tired. And not sleepy-tired, I get enough sleep. I am simply drained.
With everything going on in the world, and in life, it seems like I can't keep up 😔
Does anyone else feel this way?
@SarahIronside6 I totally agree, but the "pawns" are already being put in place to steal the midterms, and if THAT fails, steal the next Presidential Election like he did LAST TIME with Elon's $, but THIS TIME, there's "NEW $" instead, for LOTS of "favors" in exchange...
@NancySinatra Only if he stops breathing, after raping our country for every billion he can get for himself and his family members and "Inner Circle"... 🙄
-- Other than THAT? Unfortunately "no". 😡
Thankfully, #KarmasComing 🤬
