When I first heard about this, I did not believe it was real, but a UFC fight in the octagon erected on the South Lawn of the White House to celebrate the POTUS' 80th birthday is almost too on the nose.

@kimlockhartga yup. Donnie wants to live vicariously and fantasize that he is a “strong, alpha man” and a ‘fighter.’

The only way his ego gets massaged is when he surrounds himself with people that are better than him because he thinks he’s part of the in-crowd.

Pathetic event for an equally pathetic person.

@rickf I mean, Idiocracy didn't go this hard.

@kimlockhartga seriously.

I wonder if they’re gonna be serving Brawno at the event so his rubes can stay ‘hydrated’.

@kimlockhartga

pity we can't do thunderdome style with all the current WH admin/cabinet, two enter, only one leaves alive style.

It's like the pope would set up a rave in front of the St Peter's Basilica. 🤡 including some food stands inside.

But go ahead MAGA patriots of the USA. Tear down all the obvious facades of all that you have ever considered honorable and admirable.

YOU have elected those greedy fraudsters who make the U.S. their own "self-service shop" and endless source of money and make this nation the frightening laughingstock for everyone.
Land of the free - Freedom of greed'n'stupidity.

@grootinside Hollywood has made a lot of films about deadly gladiator fights in dystopic scifis, so there must be some tradition? @kimlockhartga

@kimlockhartga Sounds like a mixture of The Onion's worst dreams and on so many levels like the worst US scifi disaster films! But is from AP.
So I think that it's legal to call that boss of disaster Caligula. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caligula

BTW, will the winners kill the losers? #pureDarkSarcasm

Convenient that they built large enough gallows for them all.

I first saw an unsourced reference to this and wondered whether or not it was satire but this reminds me satire no longer exists because it cannot compete with reality for ridiculousness.
