Man baby is pissed artists and groups cancelled after he tacked his name on, so he's just going to burn it to the ground.

100% he closes it, starts the demo before plans to rebuild, then stops there.

I suppose that's moderately better than actually rebuilding into something nobody with any taste will touch with a ten thousand foot pole

Is this the arts version of bankrupting a casino?

LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 16 pts · 217d

Basically, yes.

He’s looking to turn it into a bribe generator.

It takes that long to clean up the poo?

DarkFuture@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 216d

Lol. This one turned to shit a lot faster than everything else he's touched.

Can't wait for his heart to stop and for everyone to revert the changes he made back.

That won't happen. It will take decades of concerted effort to undo the changes he made. The democrats as they are currently have no interest in challenging any corporate interests or legit taking a stand against anything he has done or is doing.

Also what is going to happen to the white house grounds? Can they really just rebuild it the damage he did to that structure alone will take years to rebuild. More than a single term presidency even.

Not challenging corp interests is how they got into this mess, based on what your saying, America will never learn unless it does do something about its Oligarchs.

I guess the idea of a two year long Ted Nugent residency just isn't getting people excited.

I always confuse the Kennedy center for the Kennedy space center.

Hey! Don’t say shit out loud in this fucky timeline!

Guess I’ll keep a search query active for when this happens next.

It takes time for Home Depot to assemble that big order of polystyrene stick on ornaments and gold spray paint.

He's installing telescreens.

I guess it's a good time to do it if it needs doing. It'll be sitting empty for the next few years anyway.
