'Let the games begin!'
In line with the most hedonistic traditions of ancient Rome, President Donald Trump is planning a UFC cage match on the White House south lawn for June 14, which is both Flag Day and his 80th birthday.
"We who are about to die salute you!"
In ancient Rome, the unwashed masses at least were able to attend gladiatorial events for free at a stadium that seated 100,000 people. But if you want a ringside seat at this tacky spectacle, it will cost you between $1 and $1.5 million. The rest of you can watch via Paramount.
NorCo Exec Tara Zrinski herself alluded to this at Thursday night's County Council meeting. America 250 is "really not about, you know, concerts at the White House or, you know, boxing rings or whatever they're called. What is that, in an MA thing? Yeah. We're not putting one of those on our lawn."
Translation: "Like you know totally you know like cool you know like whatever you know like."
ReplyDelete13 years of free education and this is the best she can do. Shouldn't we expect a modicum of communication skills? It's no wonder she can't speak sentences without ChatGPT tutoring her. Voting for imbeciles has a cost.
But employees in the courthouse get cupcakes!!!!! " let them eat cake"
ReplyDeleteThe event at the White House is free to all members of the military. It’s a once and done event not being paid for by taxpayer dollars. Calm down, everyone.
ReplyDeleteNo. It's not. A limited number of not fat military may attend fight live.
DeleteIt’s an embarrassment to all of us.
DeleteMost of the 4,000-5,000 tickets to watch the event at the White House will be given away to junior enlisted and junior officer service members. Another 85,000 will be given away to watch the event on a big screen at a nearby park.
ReplyDeleteIt’s amazing how far people will go to make something out of nothing.
BTW, all our cities already have modern day Colosseums. Many poorly-run cities (mostly democrat-run) have seen their stadiums and sports teams move outside democrat-controlled limits.
So this actually seems like a nice attempt to bring such residents a taste of what the democrats have lost for them.
It’s an insult to our country, Our Whitehouse, our history, and all of the normal people who don’t like clown shows.
DeleteIf only people actually cared about what Tara thinks as much as she thinks they care. No one does because there is not one bright idea that comes from her own thoughts. It didn’t take residents long to figure it out. It’s only June (sigh). Her apparent dislike of Donald Trump is disturbing.
ReplyDeleteYour liking him is worse.
DeleteExcept for one thing. In 1976, big county parade in Easton, multi volume books on the history of the county. Major Reenactment in Easton Center Square. With rebuilt courthouse. 2026, nothing! Not even free ice cream. At least a Roman athletic event would be something.
ReplyDeletemaybe I am off topic here but televised mma fights are considered having a mature audience rating. I can not imagine that it is healthy for a child to watch such a match. Those liberty moms should be out front and objecting to this spectacle to protect children from this type of violence. this whole thing is no more appropriate than a stripper contest. Many presidents had dumb ideas in the past but this one takes the cake and shows no respect for children and their parents.
ReplyDeleteSo they don’t have to let their kids watch it.
DeleteProblem solved without a government study or grant involved!
Ah, if the parents are anywhere around at the time of the event, and cognizant of what their kids are actually doing at all times, the PARENTS can do what PARENTS should do . . . . take full control of the situation.
DeleteThis reminds me of Back to the Future where Biff becomes mayor and the town is turned into a cheap Vegas knock-off. But then everything about this administration has coated the capital of the U.S. in sleaziness.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Trump. That said, Teddy had boxing matches on the whitehouse lawn. Lincoln and Grant used to get drunk and shoot up the Whitehouse crockery in the backyard. So...meh.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what right-wing station spouted this nonsense. First, Lincoln was abstemious and did not drink at all. Second, Grant never engaged in any shooting on the white house lawn. What he did do was engage in carriage races at high speeds. He was stopped and warned about it and was actually cited for racing inside the city. He paid the fine and did not sue anyone. Teddy Roosevelt was a fitness enthusiast and an amateur boxer and had a gym inside the white house, not on the lawn.
