Boooooo!!!

A federal judge rejected a request from 2 Virginia residents to block #Trump from hosting an unseemly #UFC fight at the #WhiteHouse for his birthday this weekend.

The order came in a case brought last weekend by 2 people in Virginia who argued the #private event cannot be lawfully held on the White House’s #SouthLawn or the #LincolnMemorial, where other aspects of it are expected to take place Friday before the main event on Sunday.

Judge rejects bid to stop UFC fight at White House

#Trump Builds Himself #UFC spectacle more than #cage fight: it's #monument to #corruption, self enrichment, imperial Roman #politics of bread and #circus #WhiteHouse has 92ft 600 ton tangle of steel and floodlights squatting on the #SouthLawn like a #carnival ride that ate a cathedral. The UFC calls it “The Claw.” It’s taller than the White House itself, tricked out like a Fourth of July beer can, and bolted down right over the patch of grass where Marine One usually lands #democracy #maga
