Dude, get off Reddit. The thing that's going on there now has been going on there for years. It's a true cesspool over there and using the platform enables them and gives money to spez.
Only 7 days? Hell, I got permabanned from Reddit years ago for mentioning Elon Musk's Boring Company and their 'Not A Flamethrower' contraption, which is totally a flamethrower of sorts, and looks like a fucking toy!
And this was way before Elmo even mentioned the idea of buying Twitter and before Reddit went public...
Fuck Reddit and fuck Spez, they'll just as soon ban you for mentioning facts.
People on the Conservatives and AskTrumpSupporters subreddits love to whine about how left leaning the rest of the site is.
I think that was true enough in the past, but the last several years have changed things.
I haven’t been there in the comments for about a year now but from the regular posts on here about being banned over there make me think it’s only gotten worse.
I'm fairly convinced he's building it because he has no intention of his regime being over. It will be passed down to his son as the next Reichful ruler. :/
I agree he has no intentions of leaving office, but neither of his sons have the charisma to carry on the cult of personality. Whenever and however he dies, there is going to be a massive power struggle that ensures, and I don’t know if there’s anyone that can pull off being the sole inheritor of the MAGA movement
Wouldn't it make a good court room for a Nuremberg-style trial to hold the current Junta responsible for their crimes and treason? And remember: "I was just following orders" is not a valid excuse!
I didn't know that, but I do know that homelessness isn't just a housing problem. A huge number of cases are more mental health related: E.g. even if the person had money they wouldn't be able to live in a stable home. Because the root cause of their lack of money and homelessness is mental health. I would also consider drug addiction to be a mental health issue here by the way which would be a significant percentage of the homeless too.
And that is of course heavily associated with the lack of affordable mental healthcare in the US :( And drug addiction care.
Of course if you would give out housing you would save a lot of homeless, just saying it wouldn't work for all.
We could probably take the ballroom apart very carefully and use the materials to rebuild the east wing but, once started, we'd discover that trumpy cut corners like hell to line his pockets even more and the ballroom is just a pig shell of nothingness, but with golden lipstick.
A ballroom… a large meeting space? I don’t think we need a ballroom. I don’t think the presidents normally have big galas and I’d rather not make that a thing either.
I guess we just use it as a ballroom or meeting space. Since it going to happen wether I like it or not I guess we just use it for its intended purpose occasionally.
We should immediately redecorate it tho because I’m sure trump will make it look very “new money “ like he does with everything else he decorates. “More gold means more rich right? Put it everywhere!”
Bold of you to assume they ever plan on leaving. He’s already handing out Trump 2028 hats and Bannon is just doing media interviews telling everyone he isn’t leaving.
You don’t tear down an entire wing from one of the most (symbolically) important buildings in the country just to throw parties for a couple years and then leave.
it won't be built to code. shortcuts will be taken as everybody looks to score some free cash along the way.
no one will know what 'extra' items were planted during its reconstruction. even more significant if the security bunkers underneath the demolished east wing are also rebuilt.
A tourist attraction, an unhallowed mausoleum to store Trump's rotting corpse where people can walk by & spit on it or throw tomatoes at it or pour gasoline & matches on it or whatever.
(I mean, if the Danes could get a pig breed to look like their flag, I'm sure Americans can get a pig breed to look like Trump. I mean, they're already almost there!)
Need somewhere to put the National Museum about his atrocities once he is gone and all his “friends” write books outlining the horrible things he did to continue their grift.
On a list of priorities, having a ballroom for state dinners and what not would not be high on mine. But as a big government whose reputation 47 hasn't ruined entirely (yet), I can see the usefulness of a dedicated ballroom for these functions. He is all about appearances and little to no substance behind it. Some government functions are like that, even when the people running it have decidedly more substance behind it than this shriveled mandarin. I would have looked at a gazillion other issues first if I were him but I also take pride in not being him or being similar to him in any way. So let him have his silly ballroom. The construction of which will reveal either that they cooked the numbers or [clasping pearls] it was built by immigrants without the proper visa. You can rename it the Obama ballroom or something when he's gone (eventually/hopefully) and I suspect you can pawn the gold leaf from the walls to help reduce the budget gap he'll undoubtedly leave behind.
