"The amount of corruption alleged in this lawsuit is jaw dropping, even for Trump," she wrote on BlueSky.

For one thing, she noted, the plaintiffs point out that Trump “giving White and his company what none have enjoyed before: unfettered access to the White House and Lincoln Memorial to stage a private, for-profit sports event, with all the promotional and branding opportunities that accompany such access” — all while he purchased up to $50,000 in stock in the UFC's parent company, and the UFC itself promotes a cryptocurrency firm sponsoring the event and advertising itself with White House iconography.

And as all this is going on, the plaintiffs — a Vietnam vet and a senior citizen activist — said, this whole project defaces the nation's capital. “The Claw, which is constructed primarily out of steel, is 92 feet tall, 154 feet wide, and weighs 600 tons ... The Claw thus dwarfs the adjacent White House. It is visible from the National Mall to the south," the lawsuit reads.

To do this, the suit continued, the White House and UFC are violating National Park Service regulations, ignoring congressional approval, and environmental permitting.

The complainants are asking a judge to stop the event from taking place.

1. And today we've also got the $12,000 commemorative coins!

[Hope22]

2. It would be a relief to T to have the fight scrapped!

He is going to suffer worse humiliation if the event runs a# planned.

[Karasu]

6. If he was remotely intelligent, sure.

[SergeStorms]

16. That ship sailed at birth.

Even though he had the highest GPAs in history from the Wharton School at Penn, and Fordham University.

[Swede]

22. Don't forget his smart uncle.

[SergeStorms]

24. MIT, wasn't it?

The smartest man in the world, I think he was. He taught Einstein and Oppenheimer all they knew.

3. Kick

[SheilaAnn]

4. Why wasn't this done before the WH was deluged with all the crappy nonsense that now exists. Ridiculous.

[mopinko]

12. my thoughts as well.

seems purely performative.

[kairos12]

5. I think he could care less about a court order. He would hold it anyway.

[marble falls]

26. I'd love to see Federal Marshalls Tussling with Secret Service and the National Defense Police over ...

... service of a cease and desist order. I'd pay for that ticket.

[GenThePerservering]

7. It's supposed to be sticky and rainy

I'd like it if the rain just stopped that morning, so everything is wet and the bugs come out in droves. Or, it'll just keep raining. I'm doubtful of 85,000 assembling in that other area.

[oasis]

8. Let it pour on the assembled MAGAts.

[BonnieJW]

36. Don't forget the lightning!

That huge metal mess will be spectacular hit with lightning

[oasis]

38. 🎼Let it be, let it be , let it be, let it be There will

Be an answer, let it be🎼

[Miles Archer]

14. I posted something around last week or so...they reportedly have a BIG "gnat problem" at the location

So yeah. And if it IS rainy, Trump will be TERRIFIED of getting his comb-over wet.

[BonnieJW]

37. Indeed

All of us in Northern Virginia have a terrible gnat problem in the summer. Unless there is a wind greater than 20 mph, it's pretty miserable

[MoseShrute]

9. Why don't they

just let the attendees park on the lawn as well.

[sop]

31. MAGAs tailgating on the White House lawn.

[Lifeafter70]

34. That's where they put the porta potties

[Martin68]

10. A never-ending series of jaw-dropping desecrations of the office of the president and theft

from tax-paying citizens.

[malaise]

11. Donvict

The Claw!

That is all

[Shipwack]

25. The... Claw!

[malaise]

33. Love it

Rec

[Mossfern]

13. This all just makes me sick

[progressoid]

15. Do the plaintiffs have standing?

I would love to see this go forward but I suspect it will get tossed.

[tritsofme]

18. Almost certainly not.

[marble falls]

27. All citizens got standing in this.

[Orrex]

17. It's fun to imagine a world in which Trump ever faces any actual conseqeuences at all

Instead of the world we live in.

[tritsofme]

19. These plaintiffs make an incredibly weak case for standing, it will be dismissed.

[DET]

20. While I'd love to see it scrapped...

It’s probably going to be a huge failure anyway. And the public needs to see the massive desecration of the White House and the beautiful south lawn. When they light up ‘the claw’ and the carnival is in full swing, it might wake some people up to how far we’ve fallen.

[joho260]

23. Sad, just sad...

I, for one, would rather watch a re-run of Columbo than his stupid cage match. I hope the TV ratings are horrible. I'm not sure how much of this crap is being funded by the govt. and how much by the bribers but I know that ultimately it will be the taxpayers who will get soaked.

[marble falls]

29. Haul all the debris from it and the rest of the show and dump it on Merde Lardo 1st tee.

[A HERETIC I AM]

21. Hillary Clinton had a great take

Link to tweet

[Blue Owl]

28. The rapist thinks he's untouchable now

Thanks to all those who have enabled him this far

[Klarkashton]

30. In another time what would it be worth to rent the whole

South Lawn of the a White House to stage a promotion for your business? What would would it cost to do that?

[Maninacan]

32. let it happen

Just let it happen . No one to blame for the snooze fest but tump

[in2herbs]

35. Plus F45 is fundraising on Nat Park Land. nt
