But they really should have had the basic design agreed to before doing the demo.  

But hey, nothing gets you committed to a remodel project like demolition.

If Trump announced this afternoon that they would be making some additions to the Lincoln Memorial, but hey don't worry, we're not going to touch the existing structure.... and then a week later the bulldozers were out and destroying it.... would everyone just shrug like what is going to happen here?

I've seen a lot of AI slop around what the East Wing "project" is going to look like or what is affected, but saw this and it seems to be the most neutral, factual view (from atop) so thought I'd share as it was helpful to me:

This is very obviously animaltobacco. I don't know why some of you seem to think otherwise.

Probably.  Lincoln has been in that chair long enough.  Time to get someone else a chance.

I like the idea.  A 3% shortfall on Christmas is a huge deal most years.  Crank that to 10%?  It would be brutal.

Unfortunately, it would cause a massive amount of collateral damage and wouldn't affect the main targets one bit.

I'm just imagining 10-year-old me waking up Christmas morning and finding an empty tree, with my dad saying "Sorry, son. We can't do Christmas this year because the president is a shithead and we need to use the economy to send him a message."

Maybe lack of gifts would be a good reminder to focus what Christmas is really about.

I did enjoy when a reporter attempted to ask him about his previous promises to not damage the building, and he pretty much said "Hey fuck you. You're an idiot and I can do whatever I want."

(everyone nods along and moves onto a different subject)

Or when those same types want to solve the homeless problem by "just round them up and throw them in jail".

We never did find out what happened to all the homeless people in DC that were relocated.  We do know that the National Guard threw all of their stuff away.

We can just safely assume that somewhere within the bowels of the Whitehouse, there is a rendering of a "remodeled" Lincoln Memorial that has Trump in that chair, with sponsorship courtesy of Lockheed Martin or Oracle or somesuch.

I think Trump's monument will get placed on top of the new ballroom. Lincoln would be replaced with Robert E Lee.

Dude. He could dig up Arlington National Cemetery, dump the remains in the Potomac, and build a golf resort and casino on top, and Mike Johnson and his party would nod along about how smart it was to put that land to better use.

We make tamales, pan de polvo, aged egg nog, and glugg, and give those as gifts. I can't stand giving plastic shit as gifts and I'm bad at it anyway.

He'd certainly get rid of the Vietnam Wall, because only losers die in wars.

Great points.  Ill bow out of discussion.  We should just do the level-headed thing instead.  Boycott Christmas.

Or, you know, maybe just start with realizing that some poor people who buy a coffee in addition to the sparse food and clothing they buy aren't the ones fucking us all over -- oligarchs and a government that has now gone all-in on a fascist oligarchy are.  First, identify the problem.  Then your menu of solutions can be targeted.

You're focused on some gal on SNAP who bought a frappucino.  And you look right past the POTUS's son reaping tens of millions on government drone contracts, and pardons of people who literally laundered money for Al Qaeda being sold for a billion or two in crypto investment in the POTUS's crypto venture, or all of the oligarchs who are now married to the government pursuing maximum dollar extraction from the people with not only zero gov't oversight, but actual government assistance in that mission.

Turn your fucking head and see the monster that's right fucking there.

I'll tell you what it's really about, Al.  It's about a three-day holiday.  Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid!

qualified immunity

it's been a few years since the bernard at the fifth circuit thread. isn't qualified immunity only a thing when the victim is trying to sue for money? does it apply when a state like California is saying the officer committed a crime?

See, what is gonna happen is Carnival will have special "War Excursions" marketed to MAGA folk where for a reasonable fee, you can board one of their vessels, have it park in the Caribbean someplace, and watch (from a safe distance, of course) American firepower decimate fishing  drug boats from third-world countries for sport.  A portion of the proceeds will be directed to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library, of course.

 

Think of it as a quail or deer hunt, but from a spectator point of view.

I've suggested more than once that we celebrate Christmas every other year.

It was not well received.

I see he’s mad at Canada now and calling Reagan’s actual words on tariffs FAKE! Sooooooooooooooooooo hilarious.

For the record, here's the entire radio address by the Gipper, one of at least two he made on tariffs:

Reagan sounds amazingly sane compared to the current dude and this is late in his 2nd term:

I know it’s stupid to ask, but here it goes:

How can he just build monuments and modify the WH without congressional approval and appropriations?!

There.

I screamed into the ether for the 1,089,326th time during his presidency…..

I’ll actually give Trump credit for something if republicans start hating Reagan. 

Trump will die like Reagan. Shitting his pants and never remembering he was president. Already halfway there.
