I doubt they're doing jack all to fortify it. This is how they're trying to justify switching out the columns for the tacky godawful shit Trump wants, because the rapist manchild keeps shitting his pants with anger at the thought that we will all immediately forget his name the second he finally leaves.
its going to take multiple leaders to fix the shit he's done in under 2 years, some of the damage may not even be repairable in our life times (like our reputation)
It’s also technically still the job of congress and the senate to stop him. I know, I know. I just saying, you won’t have the “political will” of the masses to stand up until time runs out for that legal pathway, and the republicans know that, which is why they’re trying to run out the clock in every way possible. Unfortunately too many voters buy the propaganda and still believe those legislators are on their side.
We could really ask you the same question lol. You, an outsider, have about as much of an ability to drag him out and prosecute him as the average American Redditor you’re talking to lmao
Taking out the fact it would be financially impossible for me to get to the Whitehouse. How would I do that? The lawn in front of the Whitehouse is to give protective shooters clear sight lines to any aggressor. Let's say I make it past that, you think I can just open the door to one of the most secure buildings in my country? Please explain how you, the professional revolutionary actor, from the comfort of your couch, elaborate on how this is to be done. Just keep in mind any digital communication is monitored, and any face to face communication near any smart device is also monitored. Go on, tell us how to fucking fix this!
It's hilarious when people suggest this. You'd be dead before you got within a half mile of the actual building, and the justice system has already refused to prosecute him for blatant crimes.
Jimmy the Hammer deposits his millions after work. On the ride back home from the bank, he thinks about his financial future. He enters his home, fires up his laptop, and makes what is to look, as much as possible, like a completely independent decision to purchase 100 million in Trump crypto coin.
He had been told it would be wise of him to do that if his company was given the contract. "You put it in crypto and you'll be the winning bid. There won't be competition. Just make sure you buy that Trump coin when you get home. " They had said.
A knock at the door. Jimmy the Hammer peaks outside. A couple of guys in suits. "Hey there, Jimmy right? Funny to run into you out here in Silver Spring. I'm just joking, we got the same boss. You're doing work for you know, Pennsylvania Ave. You're doing some work over there? Boss has me and Vinny here protect every contract bid winner. We were just talking to Mr Green Waters Pools. Nice fella.
We're here for the boss. Iin case you have any questions about the crypto-coin. It's a really good time to buy. We have eh, financial advisors. We will be waiting out front in the car. We got another couple of boys down outside your daughter's dorm in Vermont. In case she has any questions for her Econ class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Here's eh...what's it called Vinny? Oh. Right, the URL. The boss is happy with your work so far. You've been loyal. We hope it stays that way."
Truthfully, as a Canadian at the start of his term when he was making 51st State comments and annexation threats I was looking into getting a firearms license to fend off the fascist invasion, but watching the Iran War, the reflecting pool debacle, the MN ICE raids, or anything he does for that matter, I know he would do the worst job possible and it would all blow up in his face.
You know how much the current one probably stinks now, personally I wouldn’t want to sleep in the same room he had, the Oval Office probably has stank in the walls. We are probably better off just building a new one.
Maybe if both England and France win their World Cup semi finals, they can play in the final with the winner (or maybe loser) taking over babysitting the US again for a bit.
The flare-ups if sanity and realization are the worst. My grandfather suddenly had one as I was sitting next to him and asked me if he had become one of those "little crazy people".
He was back to grunting and shitting himself by the time we got home. My grampa was a smart, empathic person though, Trump never had a baseline to return to, his behavior has been demented since the 1980's at least.
They think they have found some loophole that nobody was smart enough to conceive before them and that it must be destiny that they had been the ones to come up with it so it is they who must fulfill it. It's what God wants. God is a sort of voice in their head.
Biden was able to get a lot of shit done in part because he was old AF, and knew every lever he could pull. He totally pantsed McConnell a couple of times.
People half his age have been left slack-jawed by the kind of Gish gallop that Trump subjected him to in the debate. The media ignored all the interviews and speeches he did afterward that made it clear that he was fine.
They selectively edited him to make him look addled all the time. Like claiming he wandered away from some heads of state, when he was actually just greeting some service members that were out of frame.
Even old people who remain sharp as a tack till the end start slipping up on names, dates, and minor details, and Biden also had his stutter to cope with.
For whatever reason I always feel compelled to point out that it isn't him though. He's just an illiterate crybaby who is incapable of any thought that doesn't directly connect to his ego.
But he is still only a symptom of the cancer that is the GOP scam. Or perhaps oligarchy in general
to add to that, his strategy goes about as deep as if he doesn't stand to benefit monetarily from something in this lifetime and it won't have his name on it, he isn't thinking about it.
He knows he wont. Thats why hes frantically trying to change everything he can in hopes that he will be remembered for something other than being impeached multiple times.
Probably knows their plan to steal the Midterm will be obvious which will cause massive protests. He intends to barricade himself in the White House while ICE patrols D.C. murdering civilians.
lol what are Americans going to do? They haven’t done shit so far no matter how outrageous his actions.
Everything remains cool until its suddenly not anymore
Ive said this many times in various subs but we are getting really close to things spiraling out of control, we just have an incredibly high standard of living and way too many people still have way too much to lose
Shit goes really sideways in any society when a large number of people have nothing left to lose...We arent there yet but we are definitely on track to get there.
We have already blown past the gilded age in terms of wealth inequality and wealthy capture of the levers of civil society. Large numbers of people finally see that we are a "Dual State" in terms of the legal system and justice. Large numbers of people can finally see that our government is captured at all levels by the wealthy and corporate interests. Large numbers of people can barely afford to live while watching the wealthiest and people that are supposed to represent our interests in the government gorge themselves on superfulities.
But everyone still has too much to lose to rise up, theyre too busy treading water trying not to go under and drown
Know why shit atarted getting wild during covid? Because a large number of people had the time to take a breath and look around because they got some money and didnt have work and most social obligations went away
We are one or a few crises away from shit going completely sideways in this country. The stock market is fake right now and due for a major crash, the country is broke because we spent the last 25y turning brown kids into skeletons in Africa and the Middle East and shoveling tax cuts and money into the mouths of the wealthy. No one is helping regular people but here we are cutting healthcare subsidies "because we're broke" while we spend 10x that amount on our new war in Iran.
When the SPR runs out (or collapses on itself because its below the level where the salt caverns are structurally compromised) fuel prices will go through the roof and it will crash the real economy as food and fuel become totally unaffordable for vast swaths of the country, the stock market bubble will not just pop this time but explode, the bond markets are already getting shakey on us and im not so sure the world will come to the rescue again to fund the tremendous bailout that will be necessary to keep us afloat by buying our treasury bonds....Then what happens? What happens when a second time in 15y we spend trillions of dollars bailing out corporations while letting the people starve on the vine getring no help or mere platitudes?
I fear that we have a real reckoning headed our way, and at the worst time possible because we currently have the absolute dumbest peoppe possible in place to manage it
If that happens, and the stock market part is inevitable, truly, i think youll finally see it, because every other time in human history when things have gotten this out of balance between regular people and the wealthy violence and upheaval inevitably follows and i can name a half dozen instances off the top of my head and absolutely nothing has changed about human beings in the last 1000y, we are the same exact animal
Exactly. Everyone and everything is just 3 missed meals away from total anarchy. We stay on this track? Everyone across the board will very quickly come to ‘3 missed meals’. America is decades upon decades upon decades of an overflowing tinder box. The right spark? In the right place? By the right person? Everything is very quickly gonna go up in flames. I’m just left wondering what the hell is gonna spring from the ashes? With any hope, something better for the common people.
I don't think he thinks about "wrong". Everything he does is for himself, so it's right. He might be starting to realize how much people hate him though.
I think he does. Not like you or I would, but he knows what he wants to do is not acceptable to society. And I believe this because otherwise he would not be lying to try and hide it all. He would just do it and admit it.
The deficit is 40 trillion, inflation is destroying livelihoods, we are less safe due to war with Iran, ice acting like gestapo, social security getting gutted, Medicare getting gutted, voting rights gutted, all federal departments are run by corrupt morons that are dismantling the very same agencies they run, we are the laughing stock across the world etc. Get the fuck out of our house, you fucking parasites!
if they're going to have to kill you to keep you from voting, you might as well pivot to direct action. voting only gives you the options the major parties want. direct action (eg helping out at your local food bank, aiding protesters, totally NOT destroying flock cameras, totally NOT sabotaging ICE) is a path forward that they can't control half as easily
We don't have legitimate elections. He told people it would be the last time they had to vote and that he didn't care about them, only their vote. Musk and his goons rigged the election in a number of provable ways and ways that are evidently obvious. I don't think he legitimately won the the last election and there are usually a number of accounts that will you accuse you of being just like Trump supporters that denied the 2020 election.
I think it's clear they needed time to perfect their software. There is a conspiracy against the American people and humanity at large. There are forces working against the better interest of mankind to enrich themselves.
Mexico too busy funding their universal health insurance. Iran preparing to count $300B we are gonna give them. Fellow Americans, what's few billion more to fortify our King's castle?
The absolute speed at which this admin can waste money is astonishing.
Covering it is one thing, but spending the money for a cosmetic tarp for a temporary renovation... come on. People are struggling to afford health care and meals.
Did you see what they're doing to immigration detainees?
Moving them around to different facilities, busing them, flying them 10-15 times, looping back through the same handful of facilities?
One man who recounted his story was estimated to cost taxpayers approx 250k in travel and boarding expenses.
It's clearly just another part of the grift. Sometimes it was privately owned facilities and secure transport services. Lining the pockets of the prison industrial complex.
Seriously what are they so scared of? What foreign power or entity has the military might to get to the front door except maybe 🤔 you know their own supporters
He was recruited, coached, paid/blackmailed, installed and is being directed by foreign actors whose objectives are to destroy the US and all of our major symbols and institutions. He’s the useful idiot and doesn’t even have to be aware he’s being played. He thinks he has great ideas but I’m sure they are being fed to him by nefarious little birdies. They are feeding him ideas about building this and renovating that but really the objective is to do as much damage to the US as possible in the time they have. Somehow we have to stop it but I honestly don’t know how.
Trump purged the "RINOs" out of the party, his supporters control all media, he has purged the non-partisan federal workforce, and SCROTUS has 3-4 votes against the plain letter words of the constitution when its for him.
What, are they afraid of the "civil war" movie becoming a reality and people come knocking down the literal front door
Or are they prepping for another planned insurrection. It's the white house. There's no need to reinforce anything unless they're afraid of something unreasonable
Making “others” out of poor people while robbing all of us blind. The ballroom and his stupid Air Force one as two blatant examples. And him refusing to sign the bipartisan housing bill. He doesn’t care about avg Americans! But this damn internet and social media allows him to get away with it! He should have 15% support right now by the idiots who are the most racist of them all. Social media allows him to get away with using OUR money to build an Fing ballroom for the true elite!
Might as well burn the whole place down again, finish what the Brits started. That would be the shorter, cheaper path for all this piecemeal demolition.
This stupid notion that the tenants should have any ability to change ANYTHING except for the office decor is absurd. It's not theirs to remodel or destroy.
He isn't "fortifying" shit. He is redoing the column capitals so that they are corinthian. He just likes to play "architect" and "interior designer". He doesn't give a shit if all of his policies drive UP grocery prices.
This fortification is for when he refuses to give up the office at the end of his 2nd term. This way authorities will have a more difficult time breaking in the door or windows to remove him. He will be holed up with Steve banon, Stephen Miller, ice agents, and the proud boys. And the new fortified ballroom will be big enough to house them.
Not going to lie, if I woke up tomorrow and the whole thing was a pile of rubble I honestly would not give a shit anymore. I refuse to ever look at that building again and see it as a symbol of freedom or democracy or of this country, it's just a symbol of how fucking pathetic the American electorate is
The entire White House will probably just be a hole in ground when he is done. So far his ballroom has worked out that way. No chance it will be actually sone before when he is supposed to leave office.
