New York Times: “A political activist and a Vietnam veteran represented by an anti-corruption organization filed a lawsuit on Saturday challenging what it called the ‘night of cage fights’ that President Trump planned to hold at the White House as part of the celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary.”

“The lawsuit argues that the transformation of the grounds was never authorized by Congress, and that the event will serve as an extraordinary use of government space to benefit both the chief executive of UFC, Dana White, and Mr. Trump, who is an investor in UFC’s parent company.”

1. I hope the Vets win and that monstrous carnival thing comes down immediately

2. Issue: Trump doesn't really care what Congress thinks!

The bastard tore down half the friggin' White House without authorization from Congress. He painted the Reflecting Pool blue without authorization from Congress. Why the hell would he ask for permission to have a fucking cage match on government property?

6. He wants a modern day GLADIATOR event

Chicken shit mother fucker and clan.........

13. In that case.

Can we put some lions in the cage and throw him in?

16. His body would

probably be toxic meat and kill them....

[Justice matters.]

9. Yes, but Courts rulings stop him (once he destroyed what he doesn't care 'bout Congress).

Pedo doesn't care about Congress but he knows he has to care about Judges orders to him.

Either file appeals and sit down sleeping after the Judges order him to tear down things he does without permision.

3. I actually think it's better that the UFC slop goes ahead

and turns into a sad debacle.

4. This

they cannot plan their way out of wet paper bag. It will be worst then the casual military parade last year.

12. Not so sure. It'd draw all kinds of riffraff WAY too close to the White House.

It’s already junked up too much by Trump’s attempts to crown himself king for his birthday.

I’m sure he doesn’t bother to remember that the White House grounds belong to THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.

14. The riff-raff already occupy the White House

Let 'em fail.

[calimary]

15. Sure can't argue with you there, my friend!

5. Wouldn't that be the 🍒 on top!

Happy birthday sir. Sorry to have spoiled your day.

7. Isn't this

thing supposed to happen a week from today? Or is it July?

[Totally Tunsie]

10. Yes, June 14 - Flag Day and ID 10 T's 80th Birthday

[MustLoveBeagles]

11. I think it's on his birthday

[FakeNoose]

8. This is what needs to happen, shut the whole thing down

17. I have a hard time believing any of these plaintiffs can establish standing
