I know the joke is already old but it's crazy how similar current US is to Idiocracy. The reality tv star pedophile president is building a wrestling cage, the minister of education is wrestling fantasy network CEO lmao the reality is so unserious.

If anyone thinks this is not peak decline of an empire I really don't know how. If not for all people that are hurt by this change it would be funny and I wish I didn't care because say what you want - this is incredibly entertaining. If I was a human hating alien I wouldn't skip a single US episode.

Hey, the best way to defund the oligarchy is to live a frugally as possible, cancel all your subscriptions, buy the least branded, least advertised bulk products you can. Don’t buy from major chains when you can avoid it. Turn on an ad blocker, or even better adnauseam.

If you can’t get some digital media direct from the artists, pirate it. Fuck the ethics discussion, any money you spend through an app store or through a major subscription service is quietly getting funneled to this shit.

Deny them your dollars and put your money away till things improve. Be a consumer on strike if that’s the least you can do.

We shouldn't be having a 250th birthday party for the nation.

We should be having a funeral.

I don't expect this to do well and I'm really looking forward to it failing. Of course the Orange Jackass will brag about how successful is regardless, but that's because what passes for his brain is stuck in a loop.

Interm titles are not real titles.

Worshipping pedophiles and watching grown men smash each others faces in is more important to Americans than living.

Change my mind.

The taxPAYers

It's in your job description. Don't complain /s

The bread has gone stale and the circus is lame

All we need is a NASCAR event on the White House lawn and the circus will be complete - modern gladiator battles and modern chariot races? How could the plebians possibly be upset?

Wait - there is a literal Ultimate Fighting event? Or have I been duped by the comments? Cuz that’d be the trashiest thing ever. Last person I personally knew who went to the White House 2 yrs ago was chastised for wearing open toed shoes, this is a whole new low for such a previously sacred place.

Who’s paying

They voted it in

This is the US to its core. Half the other sides voters will subscribe to this pay per view.

Trump is a symptom.

President Comancho going to make an appearance?

Does anyone not know the answer to this question? It's just like it was in the feudal era. If you saw something being built, it was either for the church or the king and you paid for it.

Next up, we turn The Ellipse into the Circus Maximus. I mean, it's already got the right shape for the chariot races.

It's paid for by the UFC. The UFC can afford it because paramount. Paramount can afford it because we pay them every month.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Bread and circuses, now with 90% less bread!

I haven't followed the UFC for years since I realized that Dana White was an evil man and the UFC is an exploitative organization which abuses all of its fighters.

But I am guessing that this event will be on Pay-Per-View like most of their events, and so the UFC will cover the construction costs.

But at for who is paying for it, I would argue that all Americans are paying for it as a weakening of the Constitution, as Presidents historically can't favor any specific private company using the White House, which if I remember correctly, are laws related to the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

And all humans everywhere are paying for it as a strike against basic human dignity and the progress of civilization. We're back in Ancient Roman times watching gladiators fight in the Colosseum.

It's not even a real sport. It figures Trump's favorite sport would be two guys beating each other senseless. He's nothing short of the American Caligula. He'd have them fight to the death, if he thought he could get away with it.

president Camacho will love this!

That'll get trump all revved up for his post-fight, tween adventure. /s
