    This is honestly the most american thing I’ve ever seen, I can not imagine a more american thing than this.

    I bet they do a military fly over.

      I would be ecstatic if we could get a president who could realize someone smarter than him should handle things.

    Oh shit I didn’t know they were demolishing part of the white house to build the ballroom, makes more sense why libs are losing their minds now but also that makes the whole thing much funnier.

    i saw this news item the other day and after confirming it was real, dismissed it from my mind because it still seems so satirical.

    as someone else posted, DC in summer is fucking hot dog shit. so swampy and hot/humid. i saw this written growing up in the deep south, working outdoors there, and figured it was just northern b’suited princelings complaining about warm summers of the mid atlantic. then i was there for a conference and wandered around DC on foot on my day off. can confirm: it’s pretty fucking miserable. thank christ the metro is deep underground and the free museums with AC rolling kept my brain from cooking.

    anyway, i thought all these UFC events were like indoors with industrial AC. this event sounds very uncomfortable. if you paid me 1.5 million, i might go hoping that it ends quickly.
