Lawsuit filed to stop UFC fight on White House South Lawn

design3.bsky.social66

We Americans want our White House Lawn back fk'n trumpers Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

patfeb55.bsky.social48

Halting an event with fighters bailing out left and right. Donnie may have to step into the ring. In his shorts.

Josephine Imperato45

We're already a country at war with Iran. There are millions of people protesting in the streets, at ICE facilities, one protestor was rammed by a car. Do we really need more violence in our lives? A cage fight on sacred ground, by the People's House! We,The People, do not want this. It is vile and

Rabbitfire36

It will be interesting to see how far this goes. I would love it if it got shut down and everything has to be removed and the lawn restored.

The Evil Otter31

I mean, yeah, his whole argument for his gaudy "ballroom" is "security," yet he wants to have a circus and knockoff gladiator matches out in the open on the front lawn.

Jameslet16

Potentially sneaky to file it so late after all the rigs have been put up.

imhereareu15

This set up has no doubt already killed the grass on the once beautiful lawn. He destroys everything he touches. There is no good in him. None.

Jack Brand14

I want the UFC fight to happen. The more ridiculous and corrupt Trump looks, the better. The perception of corruption may be the only thing that will sway a populace. (see: Hungary)

Appalling. Dana White interview on New Yorker radio. He chose to frame the White House in one view & Wash monument in the other. Fighter weigh ins are on the Lincoln memorial It's absolutely appalling & disrespectful of places that mean so much to many

My Snowblower can beat up your snowblower13

It’s also undignified. Trump is making a joke of the U.S. Government. He has no respect for the People’s property, and less respect for the Constitution. He shows this daily. The courts need to protect the People’s property. Make the move the UFC match to Mar-a-Largo. It’s corrupt as hell.

Sandy 💙🌈🌊12

I hope they shut the whole disgustingly ugly thing down!

sandiego_cindy 👣🐾11

honestly when this regime is taken down i think the WH needs to be razed to the ground and some other residence built for the next national leader. preferably with money seized from the assets of the tried, convicted, and jailed members of the 🍊💩family

hawkhawkins1.bsky.social9

The world knows that this 21st century “Al Capone” runs our country. This UFC thing is nothing more than Trump’s “fuck you- I am doing whatever the hell I want” to the country.

Andrew M_Founder 🇬🇷 🇺🇸9

Who is bringing the suit? Just to read your article I have to subscribe?

Democracy USA9

They could get Donnie jr. And Eric in the ring?

Teri Cloth 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🦋 🫘9

Trump invests in UFC, then sponsors a giant fight at the White House for his birthday. How is this NOT corrupt?

Hudson Nash9

Criming in plain sight Hallmark of Donald Trump

Pixburghgrrl9

"Federal law tightly restricts private use of the South Lawn & Lincoln Memorial, administered by the National Park Service... whose standard permitting regime allows NO special events of any kind, including sporting events, be held on the South Lawn." So, there goes the Park Service.

Katie Oliver8

Hmmm not worried about security any more?!

Wiley Kann8

Of course, it's the party that was always against "picking winners and losers" until magically changing in 2017, in 2021, and back again in 2025 I'm old enough to remember the shit storms over Carter's self-admitted "lust" and his brother's "Billy Beer"

daves211.bsky.social8

Why did it take a private citizen to do this? Why didn’t a congress person take the initiative?

GRobbins7

Our country and it's Whitehouse have become the subject of ridicule and jokes throughout the world. Americans suffer the humiliation.

John Scott G7

Corruption is just part of the GOP problem.

olympic52.bsky.social7

It's costing UFC $60M to put on this garish celebration. They must be expecting it to result in huge profits.

BecKay6

This should be made to.move to mara lago. Take it to his home, not ours. This is a disgrace.

AmeriPat706

Trump’s motive is to always look as stupid as possible.

starman0067.bsky.social6

Are we sure Trump isn’t the one suing through an intermediary? The only way he’s getting out from underneath the embarrassment of it all is if he can blame it on someone else.

AgentJoeMcJoe 🇺🇸6

Of course this a corrupt scam. What else does Trumpy do? Ever? He bought stock, they're selling $MILLION DOLLAR TICKETS and using the White House and Lincoln Memorial for a profit making scheme. There is no other alternative than it's a scam. It will be EPIC if the Judge ends this insanity.

Sheena Queen of the Jungle 🇲🇽🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱5

It should be halted just because it cheapens our nation's capitol.

Ennuimageddon5

White House: We need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars installing a ballroom for security reasons. Also the White House, And we're raffling off 85,000 free tickets to watch a UFC fight we're having on the White House lawn.

Always Katy5

Nothing trump is involved with is honest, aboveboard and grift free.

MasterpieceCafe5

Too little too late. All the gross is already built. We are yet again the laughing stock of the world. We will never be a super power again. This garbage will always be in our history.

Jay B Personne4

It is corrupt. We know this because it’s a Trump event.

Sunset Cove4

Shut it all down! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

🦭🫍ᑭᒪᗩIᑎ ᒍᗩᑎE 🫈🌲4

This is nothing more than a violent, misogynistic, testosterone-filled, grifting money-making scheme for trump and his buddies…to celebrate OUR country’s semiquintessential. So depressing and infuriating. Are republicans really OK with this? If not, it’s way past time they do something! If so, omg.

FuzzyPissyKitty4

@macfarlanenews.bsky.social Raw Story thinks you’re still a CBS employee 🤨

Lisa Schiff4

stop the fight! oh that would be lovely

bizarreman.bsky.social4

Will the president be safe attending the event? It’s not being held in the most secure ballroom!

Roz4

Everything Trump does is transactional. He's 'hosting' this event to make money...first, last, and always.

johangrills.bsky.social3

May they all rot in hell.

Integrity733

THE "RENTER" IS FINALLY GETTING SCORNED BY CONGRESS. HIS DAYS OF DESTROYING USA PROPERTY OF THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE REIGNED IN BY LEGAL!

Carl Darwin3

If the pedo in chief wants oiled up dudes grinding each other on his front law, then who are we to stop him?

Don't Ask, Won't Tell3

This makes me physically ill. But, the topic is absolutely spot on for an insane OLD man who delusions himself as everything he is NOT. Except for his penchant for violence, humiliation of others, and GRAFT. I hope his kkkult is so broke from buying groceries that they CANNOT attend.

Karenmia🫣3

Surviving in Trump’s America is the REAL cage match! Join us in DC June 14th to protest Trump’s policies as well as his spectacle. We’ll conclude in time for everyone to enjoy the NoKings concert! #nokings

Yvette Tapptico3

Halt Insurrectionist Bunker, aka the "Ballroom".

BlueSparkler3

It was deeply ridiculous to begin with —aside from deeply corrupt. 🙄

Pascals Wager3

It’s a CBS/Paramount TV broadcast so I won’t be watching, anyway.

bdublin420.bsky.social3

The bigger event will be watching his name getting stripped off the Kennedy Center.

Freeda403

IT SHOULD BE STOPPED! Weather forecasts aren’t favorable either! I hope it’s solid lightning, thunder & rain!

sandiego_cindy 👣🐾2

oh come on. don’t force me to use an app to read this. i don’t mind the email or a paid subscription but NOT another app, plz

CHRONIC CANADIAN 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🦋❤️🐶🇺🇦2

Corrupt, and unbecoming a nation that likes to think itself significant in the world. Oh, and a violation of a number of laws, proving if allowed that the UUS is no longer a nation of law and order.

Lottie LilleyColes2

What can we, as citizens, do to help this Vet succeed in this lawsuit? Should we get petitions signed? We ALL need to stand behind and beside him to win our White House back.

Debbi2

The only question I have about the lawsuit is why did it take so long to challenge the circus.

💙Joani in the sky with cubic zirconia 💙2

That’s because we have never had a regime as corrupt as this one among the 13 presidents in my lifetime!

FunkmasterP2

Seriously, everything being done by the current regime is 'deeply corrupt'. It's all they know.

jackson henry2

international sports betting next to the president’s under-construction bribe palace… what could go wrong?

PMG2

We all know damn well that tax dollars are being used for this.

gandaberunda.bsky.social2

Seems like it will be the perfect spectacle for Trump to announce that he's not leaving office, or that MAGA has won, or that ICE is coming for everyone now, or that the US is a "Christian Nation" & everyone must convert or get out, or for him to incite MAGA to attack liberals & minorities, etc.

CLJohnson2

I just saw a Paramount commercial on CBS which was a promo for "THE UFC LIVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE." Made it sound like the greatest event in history.

Mars Firestein2

obvious vs oblivious: did 'the don' clampett stipulate that these UFC varmints must oil themselves up before they git to rassalin' 'round with each other?

You should have outlawed this monstrosity BEFORE he put up that monstrous cage on the South Lawn!!

grebe2

I agree these margins are unreadable

Cookie Vargas2

All money made on this piece of shit display of incel closethood should be turned over to the American people.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿2

Deeply fucking embarrassing more like could you imagine a boxing match in parliament or at no10 lmao 🤣 😂 the times we live in

Old Dog, Vieux Chien - On Behalf of the Fool2

But. . . the hundreds of Porta-Potties?!

wheelman911.bsky.social2

This “show” is happening at “the peoples” house. How much are “the people” making off of this?

jakebuzz35.bsky.social2

I Love UFC, but can't stand Degenerate Gambler Trump Worshiper Dana White. Plus, Musical Artists who Bailed out have more Courage then any Fighter on that Card.!!

Davis COYS2

They should let them do it. When it’s empty, and Trump is fast asleep in the front row, it’ll Be excellent campaign material. Let it happen, let them bury themselves further

Mary Carol2

And Trump must personally underwrite the cost of the destruction of the WH lawn for this unapproved & disgusting project.

clevrgirl2

Challenge everything he does. Every time.

Tony Gruenewald63

It should be at Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster. Let him trash his own property. He’s just our tenant at the White House. What if we rented a suite at Mar-a-Lago and tore it up saying that all the previous tenants wanted renovations and he should pay for them?

Chris⚖️Justice36

Deep corruption. Dana White repeatedly hitting his wife bsky.app/profile/chri...

John Novio19

It would be hilarious is the event was legally stopped & the ring & stands remained there for months in trump's field of vision as a reminder of another failure of his. Then again, knowing trump he or Hegseth will hold unofficial "events" for his MAGA fans, maybe like Pulte & Bessent event?

crustyone2.bsky.social15

"The peoples house" if you can afford it.

Keith13

Exactly, publicly owned property cannot be used for a private business venture.

Lyn Gianni13

Trying to stay sane while watching our beloved country be trashed while the guy in the WH lines his pockets bigtime.

vuduchyld12

I just want to know....what is Trump's cut? Apparently, there were lots of donations. Apparently, there are ticket revenues. How much will Trump pocket?

lorteeter.bsky.social8

I did not know this, you need a Paramount+ subscription. Wow, I would say it is corrupt.

davethenerd.bsky.social8

I think outside forces may stop it. The weather forecast predicts 90F temperature, high humidity, strong chance of thunderstorm and rain. So sit outside, during an electrical storm near a huge metal cage. What could possibly go wrong? MAGA!

tdanjterry.bsky.social7

Paramount owned by CBS/ Ellison’s

kdjacot.bsky.social6

Who wants to watch this in the first place???

Chip Marsh5

Literally everything Trump and company do is a for profit scheme. This Administration has been committing corrupt acts right out in the open since day one, and the Billionaire Boys Club known as Trumps cabinet have profited hundreds of billions of dollars off of all this corruption.

wkpeters48.bsky.social4

This makes me sick if they wanted this thing rent a fair ground. The White House is a symbol of the great things men died for, fought for and the minute Trump steps through the door it becomes a mockery of everything good and wonderful, also sad, in our past. Trump is the poorest excuse for a human.

BlueShifting4

An ultimate show of cronyism with a massive side order of corruption.

Petals4

There’s not enough bleach and fragrance to remove the stench of Dump’s corruption. Next to Hitler and his buddies, this regime is a very close second in vileness.

Welc 2 da JUNGLE!🦋4

A crook is gonna crook!

Flemming Madsen 🇩🇰3

Don't call it "Trump's UFC fight".. for a second I got my hopes up and thought he was going in the octagon.. 🤣

siligrl1968.bsky.social3

I pray it is stopped. Then I want this administration to have to pay out of their pockets for the damage to the people's house

thyroid-2303.bsky.social3

Hope floats but this will really anger him. Like his crappy parade thst was at least open to the public even though it was sparsely attended

Celiene O'Hara3

AND they are now forecasting rainstorms, thunder and lightning! Should be fun! IF YOU HAVE A PARAMOUNT PLUS SUBSCRIPTION, CANCEL IT NOW!

Steg683

Please please please find the for profit UFC fight on the White House lawn corrupt

Duncan Buchanan3

People want to watch that brain dead fake BS?! They will pay their own money too?! (not their own money for the VIP packages of course, that is corporate money and probably tax free too). World is a crazy place. Time to watch some proper sport.

alancorpe.bsky.social2

Doesn't the whole thing violate the Hatch Act ?

Bluebagger572

Nothing but grift from Trump. I hope his Colosseum get the thumbs down.

Stargazer2

Who would watch that corrupt crap?

Scotlady19🇨🇦2

Honestly, everyone should be boycotting it anyhow.

Toni2

Sounds like an EXCELLENT reason to CANCEL your PARAMOUNT subscription, if you have one.

paulapooh.bsky.social2

Kinda surprising there hasn't been more

KCresists2

Well thank goodness I don’t have Paramount because I would never watch that clown!

Sherry2

Here comes the rain. Come on karma.

JN Hall2

the Hatch Act is being violated in so many ways that the courts will be bewildered and say "nah just go ahead"

You fascists bound to lose2

We should stop everything he tries. But the photo of the people’s house showing a fake sport on the lawn is not a good look.

citizenape.bsky.social2

I’m gonna die laughing if this entire event gets canceled. 😂

Cookie Vargas2

On the plus side, it's predicted that it'll be 90 degrees that day in DC. Hope everyone has a blast fighting outdoors in that heat!

Leefeller2

I am waiting for the topless poll dancing ballroom./s

Allyson2

WHY wasn’t there an attempt to stop it long ago? Had plenty of time, way before the grounds were ruined.

Annala2

Wouldn’t it be funny if they won the suit!

DBerl090939

god I hope they prevail. Remember DOJ just said to a judge in court that if they move fast enough & work has started, no one can stop tRump from tearing down the Statue of Liberty. This admin is bottomless insanity.

Kelvin | Saved by Grace37

Imagine showing this sentence to someone in 2015.

Annmarie32

We can thank the Roberts court for us being forced to witness this monstrosity. They told him he can do anything he wants. They gave a toddler a blank check to toys r us.

PacifiCali 🟦🟧🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇸24

End stage Roman Empire where “bread and circus” kept all of the peasants entertained

Jax21

FINALLY. I can't believe it's gone this long unchallenged.

Cheekeymonkey21

Fingers crossed they take the stage down the same day they remove his name from the Kennedy Center. It can’t come soon enough!

Angeleno Bob19

It's amazing that they're going to allow 5,000+ people on the White House lawn after all the hyperbole about bunkers and alleged guns aimed at #47.

Rising Sun NorCal Man17

First the president urges an angry mob to attack the capitol & now he’s allowing angry people to fight for money on the front lawn of the White House. This is perversion of the highest order. Will we also have a late Friday night Ruling later this week from SCOTUS saying it’s ok to do this?

ladyracer71.bsky.social15

The White House, it's grounds & the surrounding Monuments BELONG TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...THEY ARE NOT HIS TO DESTROY, MAKE HIM RETURN THEM TO THEIR ORIGINAL CONDITION, PAID FOR BY THE tRUMP FAMILY

It’s absolutely true. It’s NOT for the troops. It’s not for anyone but Trump.

“Prestige of the presidency?” I know, I know, but still……..

bdelirious; 💙 #Leguminati. No longer on Twitter8

Seems like they could have figured this out before all the destruction of our White House.

Ya think?!? Did it just now dawn on the great legal minds?

Epstein6

Oh, I'm sure this p***** him off. He's probably going to blow his top.

🦋DonnaNextDoor💙💛❤️‍🩹6

And apparently, the soldiers they are inviting to fill the seats have to pay for the tickets as well as their own travel. Just think, the taxpayers are paying millions to build this. He owns a part of the business, so he will make money on it. And he's now saying it might be permanent. WTF

@White haired man5

I would laugh for a year if that were to happen 😂

Sirius Hauser - 🔥DEBUT 6/21!!!🔥5

cheyenne50.bsky.social4

It's kinda late for that, as the destruction of the public property has already taken place.

agrippa999.bsky.social4

I’m not holding my breath on this one. Heck, the GOP will ram through a special dispensation in case of a the court rules against their Lord and Master.

Richard Warnick3

Has everybody forgotten that Trump held the 2020 Republican National Convention at the White House and completely got away with it?

John Wills Jr. 🇺🇦🇵🇸3

Imagine if the UFC event at the White House does get blocked by a judge then you know Trump will have a meltdown of the century. He'll probably go on a national television and bitch and complain like a fucking baby.

Rev. John Terrio3

Its equivalent to strapping a pump to Old Faithful in Yellowstone and setting up a bottled water plant. It should have been clearly seen as irrational and inappropriate by anyone in office that takes their duty seriously.

Karenmia🫣3

Surviving in Trump’s America is the REAL cage match! Join us in DC June 14th to protest Trump’s policies as well as his spectacle. We’ll conclude in time for everyone to enjoy the NoKings concert! #nokings

Thunderdome. Two men enter, one man leaves.

My question is: Why didn't they start sooner? Like about the first time he mentioned it?

Anne-M. Picard 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇫🇷🇪🇺3

Lawlessness is Trump's motto. The toddler-in-chief cannot be stopped.

Rick H3

Maybe if you had a different president, a different Sec of the Interior, and a different Supreme Court, the lawsuit might have a chance, but I think that the odds are against it.

Joanne Belknap2

Yay! More of this, please!

Mark VDH2

Not to mention being white nationalist trash.

storgeta.bsky.social2

Sounds like a strong case, at the very least for a temporary injunction so it’s too late. It would not only be just but also fcking satisfying!

Gladiatoral distraction from all the evil he has/is committing. I would have never thought in all my years that the 250th birthday would be something not worth celebrating.

What a disgrace to the People's House where Lincoln once lived. If this lawsuit does not prevail, I hope there is an abundance of rain and wind in Washington D.C. on June 14.

HIGH DESERT JAZZ2

How else can the Orange Demon cosplay Augustus, with his thumbs up, thumbs down entrance from the second story balcony of the White House like a roman emperor meets slave fighting at "Candyland" meets the "Idiocracy" monster truck rally. I mean, what's a guy gotta do...?!?
