Extensive planning, permitting, travel plans for thousands of spectators and intense training among the fighters would all be wasted if the event is forced to cancel, according to the Justice Department.
Those plans clearly never should have been made in the first place, so that's on you.
This is the same argument as me saying that the judge should just allow me to rob that bank because I made so many preparations already and they would all be wasted if I was stopped from robbing that bank!
This was always the kind of flight we wanted to see anyhow. Someone, anyone pushing back against this fucking fascist. The Congress could learn something.

Also, this is the sunk cost fallacy and any lawyer should feel ashamed for making such an argument.

I really wish a judge would say, “so?”

Why is the Justice department acting on behalf of the defendant?
Kirp123@lemmy.world · 31 pts · 93d
Because at this point the Justice Department is just Donald Trump's personal law firm.

They’re not. They’re speaking on behalf of the gooberment, which is the defendant.
The plaintiffs are a watchdog organization that focuses on public corruption.

How does this man manage to fail so bad at everything except for grifting stupid people into electing him to the most powerful position in history?

And grifting money. He was never a billionaire before, but there can be no doubt that he is one now.

The point is to grift by any means necessary. That’s it. The definition of failure and success are different from yours.

Because that is the only thing where he really tried. There was zero effort put into making his actions lawful.

Not exactly sure what they plan to do in the next two days.

What could stop him now? Even if there was few months before the event, who would stop. him on the white house ground?

Good. Well unless they make Don Snoreleone compete. I’d even do the pay-per-view.

Why can we all get along, and allow MMA fighters to kick the shubba dubba out of each other?
