Trump's White House UFC Fight

This Sunday, Trump plans to host a UFC cage fight on the White House lawn. He’s calling it a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. It happens to fall on his 80th birthday.

Two Virginia residents—a Vietnam veteran and a civic activist—sued to put a stop to it, and now a federal judge is weighing whether to do just that.

The Public Integrity Project is leading the lawsuit, which says the regime skipped the legal permits and environmental review to build a massive structure on land that belongs to every American—not to Trump.

It also cites reports that Trump bought up to $50,000 in stock in TKO, UFC’s parent company, in May. Their lawyer, Brendan Ballou, laid it out: this is “a profound misuse of our sacred national monuments for private gain.”

Like a couple of guys inside a cyclone fence beating the snot out of each other while a bunch of people cheer them on. I’m feeling proud and patriotic just thinking about it.
