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.

wow -- Tim Kaine demolishes Kari Lake

KAINE: She accused one of our sitting colleagues of being controlled by the cartels. You had no evidence then nor do you have any now that Sen. Gallego is controlled by cartels, do you?

LAKE: Well, we provided the receipts--

KAINE: This was rated pants on fire. You have no evidence. Isn't that right?

LAKE: I don't know

KAINE: How about an apology to our colleague?

@mynxvmarie @RachelTrue The dialogue is also insane. Odysseus talking his troops into battle: “Let’s go!!”

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

@RachelTrue lol truth. but at least that country has been around longer than couple hundred years. It’s a little hard to settle into the time and place of a movie in ancient times if we hear SoCal valley, or barely suppressed Boston accents.

@SkatingLesson That partnership will never work if it were to happen

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

@RCamposDuffy @thegailygrind nothing is free dumbass, and you’re an unrepentant liar. There’s no way you filmed a family road trip over 7 months and he was still doing the level and quality of work needed for a top gov’t official. And who tf can afford to drive cross country with gas and food prices now??

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

@SenatorCollins @SenKatieBritt Maybe your “concern” will help move things along? That’s your usual response to the horrors you make possible every day you’re still in office.

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

@SenatorCollins My god you’re an idiot - you think this makes you look good?

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

@enews Maybe she should think before declaring her loyalty to trump and expecting everyone to be cool with that?

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

@ZSharf lol saying this after being in Oppenheimer is a choice…

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

But what will all those fake journalists do when they’re not spending months pretending to do serious work talking about who they think will win Oscars?

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

It’s a shame Jennifer Welch decided to suck hasan piker’s shriveled baby dick.

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

@davidehrlich Still not watching it. I doubt it’s good enough to toss my moral compass into the trash

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

@THR He had his chance to be useful and he wasted it. instead he ushered in another Trump presidency and now he wants us to go back to listening to him complain about the situation he helped create while he sits safely behind a desk. 🖕🏽 Jon.

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

@storriephotos @sapphicslisaa Stay away from him Connor! Whatever he’s working on is going to flop!

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

At least we all know when to take a bathroom break and refill the snack plate.

(We need to have a serious conversation about the music branch)

@IngrahamAngle Says the soulless alcoholic who used to get drunk at gay bars and make a fool of herself while publicly calling them perverts who didn’t deserve rights.

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

Oscar nomination morning is always wild. Sinners was fun, but not worth 16 nominations lol (except for MBJ and Delroy Lindo, who better beat Elordi). Academy needs to stop throwing nominations away on GDT films already.

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

There are very, very, very few shows in the entire history of televised entertainment, as deeply unsatisfying as “Finding Mr Christmas” @hallmarkchannel

[Samiracles @samiraculous]

@Wilson__Valdez They engineered a far greater destruction and loss of life bc of their commitment to virtue-signaling and identity politics, instead of to the people at risk. It’s the most failed peace movement in modern history and it cost the US and the entire world so much more as a result.
