1. Slob vs fleaon or fleaon vs president miller?

[electricmonk]

2. I saw a post on Facebook last night about it

I thought it was another fake story from The Onion then I saw parts of the insane speech in Iowa. I just can not believe this is our reality.

3. Idiocracy...

It didn't even take 600 years..

… The just-average, they'll-get-along majority took over the population. The average IQ now is 45.”

Actually, my oldest, dearest friend describes our current life as a combination of Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and Joseph Heller.

13. Kornbluth nailed it

[Wingus Dingus]

4. Stupid garbage people doing trashy things.

[Ocelot II]

5. Next up: Tractor pulls, monster truck shows, wet t-shirt competitions,

naked women's mud wrestling, hot-dog eating competitions and dwarf-tossing contests.

8. ...and wash it all down with an ice cold Brawndo...

It’s got electrolytes!

[EarthAbides]

6. The fascist pig thinks he can get 20,000 to attend

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

[Javaman]

7. You don't get the president you want, but the president you deserve

We are a nation of neglectful morons, who took democracy for granted

[DENVERPOPS]

9. Perhaps, that is what

Trump is building behind the White House..........A tiny version of the Gladiator days, or was it running man with ARNOLD.......
He will appoint FOX as the new State Owned/Operated PRAVDA type national media, and have a nightly reality show broadcast on it.....strictly for the entertainment of his MAGAot voters.......................

26. Pave paradise to put up a wrestling ring

He is paving over the rose garden.

[Retrograde]

10. What's next - a yard sale

so he can make a few $$$ by getting rid of all that non-gilded old stuff in the White House? Listing the Lincoln Bedroom on AirB&B? Renting out the renovated Rose "Garden" for high school proms? (Now that I think about it, this may be one of the reasons he's deciding to pave the garden - easier to set up a ring and bleachers if there's no grass). And need I ask where any proceeds will go?

[LiberalArkie]

12. Geez, they do use Idiocracy (the movie) as a how to guide.

[JoseBalow]

14. Keeping it classy

I expect no better from that degenerate philistine.

[Deep State Witch]

15. Let's Just Do the Hunger Games

And get it over with. May the odds be ever in your favor!

[Botany]

17. The man is klassy with a K.

Noticed a bunch of these ornate gold medallions slapped all over the Oval Office. We found em on Alibaba. “High-density Home Decoration Polyurethane Appliques Ornament PU Foam Veneer Accessories” from seller Guangzhou Homemax Decorative Material Limited.

32. That. Is. Hilarious.

Also freakishly, tragically, sad, but that's how it is nowadays.

[Botany]

33. Besides what I do think are his golf trophies (he plays a round on one of his courses and declares himself...

…. the champion) but those ugly ass gold plated scroll works* are straight out of a yard sale
tacky ass shit are way over the top bad. The man has access to great art, sculpture, fabrics,
and wood works and has the office decorated like shit. He has no taste.

* Filigrees .. a smart DUer posted what they are called.

[Iamscrewed]

18. Gladiator games are already out of hand

[rambler_american]

19. Next up

dog fights, monster trucks, hot dog eating contests at state dinners, This guy has all the class and decorum of a drunk vomiting on the curb outside the bar.

[Mosby]

20. Disgusting

MMA should be banned IMO. It's trash and the competitors are exploited by the league.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

22. The monopoly needs to be broken up.

But if you don't like martial arts, you can just not watch. I competed in regional kickboxing for a decade, and we never forced anyone to attend.

[GenThePerservering]

34. MMA is NOT UFC

UFC is simply an organisation that promotes MMA bouts, which is a shame because it IS trash.

MMA itself is simply what it is - mixed martial arts competition, some of these martial arts being thousands of years old.

[Mosby]

35. I don't watch any of it so i don't know the nomenclature

I was trying to refer to all the wrestling/boxing/street fighting/cage match garbage.

Call it whatever you want.

Oh, and FYI:

Mixed martial arts (MMA) as a formalized sport with a defined set of rules emerged in the early 1990s, with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)'s debut in 1993. However, the concept of combining elements from different martial arts has much deeper roots, with some tracing it back to ancient Greece's Pankration.

21. Why? NT

[herding cats]

23. This is just so nasty.

UFC, I don't care who here likes it, is a disgusting display of violence.

[llmart]

24. I agree with you but...

I would definitely go see it if they'd put his flabby lardass in the ring!

[walagor]

25. UFC

What room in the White House will host the cock fighting games, Lincoln room or the presidential upstairs quarters

[wcmagumba]

27. Instead of the Easter Egg Roll he'll have the Easter Egg Throw, chucking raw eggs at libs on the WH lawn...

[Attilatheblond]

28. Is he gonna add 'bookie' to his resume?

He must really miss all those oiled up guys in their short shorts. Is this why the Rose Garden was paved over, so they could have fake wrestling?

[usonian]

29. Warm up. Trump vs. Musk.

Winner take Tokyo.

[LoisB]

30. You can put trash in a porcelain bin but it is still trash.

[jmowreader]

31. I tell ya, nothing says America!...

...like a fake fight on the White House lawn. Is it going to be before the tractor pull or after?
