Dana White is sick and tired of hearing about bad weather and federal lawsuits. The UFC CEO just wants to focus on rolling out UFC Freedom 250 from the White House South Lawn this Sunday night.
No matter what.

Even though foul weather approaches, our commander has ordered us to put ourselves in harm's way, no matter what. I fear the worst. I pray you remember me fondly.
Your loving husband,
Lightning Strike
P.S. I have been assured that should the worst happen, you will receive a generous cryptocurrency bonus in about two weeks. I beg you, spend it wisely.

Does that make me a bad person?

"Cage fighters" on the White House lawn.
Just let that sink in. Idiocracy IS a documentary and unfortunately, we're living it.

. It has metal in its, it has electrical wires in it, the cage for the fight is made of metal,
the seating is made of metal, the atmosphere will have a lot of moisture in it, and if it rains there
will be water everywhere and all this stuff conducts electricity like a champ.
We could be looking @ a mass casualty event.

10 a.m. - The National Weather Service has increased its chance of rain to 70%, forecasting "likely" showers and thunderstorms for the D.C. area before 10 p.m. ET. That puts the rain squarely in the window for the 8 p.m. start time of the Freedom 250 card.
On Friday night, UFC delayed a press conference at the Lincoln Memorial due to nearby lightning strikes.
Update Humidity will be >80 %.

(43,801 posts)Remember this boat fiasco during his first term? Oh, did we laugh:

And then there was the time he left his rally supporters standing in bad weather and he took off. There were no buses or anything to get his supporters back to their cars so they had to walk in horrible temperatures.
