At one point, a fighter [the 🤬🤬🤬filth] took the mic & made a nasty joke about Michelle Obama while standing in front of the house she once lived in with her husband, daughters & mother.
Even for a clown with a lifelong penchant for P.T. Barnum-esque gambits, this one was in a league of its own.
Much of the #WhiteHouse was given over to this production. Fighters were filmed walking out through various rooms inside the residence & warming up, barefoot….
@Nonilex
What utterly surreal classless insulting garbage. Anyone who was there is complicit in this utter degradation of our government. AGAIN, the White House is not his private playground. ☠️
This Caligula's true fantasy would have been to order the execution of the defeated fighter.
The White Trash House
Thank you Nonilex. Appreciate your succinct summary. Have avoided any other news or descriptions of this horror. It's all just too depressing.
Thousands more were there on the lawn beneath a 600-ton steel-arch contraption called the Claw. The White House dwarfed by the fighting pit packed with #billionaires, #cabinet members & #Republican “lawmakers”.
It was all such an astonishing sight for so many reasons: The use of the trappings of the White House for violent cage fighting. The corporate sponsorships. The eruptions of casual cruelty.
@Nonilex this is definitely the same kind of people that did jan 6.

@Nonilex It’s the culmination of the J6 invasion
…utterly revolting.
It's like they feel the need to remind us they're trash people.
The crowd included #tech & #media #billionaires #MarkZuckerberg & #DavidEllison. Sen #JohnThune (R-SD), the majority leader, was there, as was Sen #TedCruz (R-TX). The secretaries of #state, #Treasury, #defense, #commerce & #HomelandSecurity were there. So was the VP, the #FBI “director” & Karoline Leavitt, the #WhiteHouse #press Secy, who is on maternity. Kid Rock showed up, & so did Roger Clemens & Robert Kraft. James Dolan, the owner of the NY #Knicks, walked up to #Trump to pay his respects.
@Nonilex one small and well placed bomb could have changed everything.

Cue up Assholes on Parade....revised version of RATM's Bulls On Parade
… #UFC is wholly different from the boxing matches #Trump presided over in the 1980s. Next to it, professional wrestling is the New York City Ballet. The Octagon is a place of brutal entertainment, a raw pageant of pain. It’s #cockfighting with men as birds.
Between bouts, #women in skimpy #objectifying get-ups saunter around the edge of the ring. At one point, a triumphant fighter named Josh Hokit—the 🤬 who made the remark about Michelle Obama—…draped a chain over Trump’s neck.
On & on it went. More men beat each other. A video of Conor McGregor talking smack blared on the lawn. Pyrotechnics shot out from the appendages of the claw. #US #military jet planes flew low overhead.
There were several fights over the course of the evening. In one of them, a man from Philly with bleach-blond hair was down on his back, trying to fend off a fighter…when a gust of wind blew in & lifted up #Trump’s “hair”. He reached up to pat it back down around the sides of his head…
