      He led an insurrection on live TV, got away with it, and got reelected. Nothing is going to happen until the propaganda machine is torn down; or, more likely, the whole system just caves in on itself under the weight of its own greed and mismanagement.

          They’re already influencing the idea with Megan Kelly. It’s amazing to me how they’ve moved the goalposts so far that the general populace are now becoming apologists for so many things they once vehemently condemned. I’m not talking politicians who are projecting. I’m talking regular folks that are allowing outside influence to convince them that abuse is ok. I was raised by bigots. I was taught inequality and mistrust as a child. Thankfully it was never outright hatred, but it could have easily gone there. But pedophilia, that was the vilest of vile, the atrocity that could not stand. Now those same family members would be of the group to most likely defend this, were they alive today.

          They’re already priming this pump with Megyn Kelly questioning “well if the kids had started puberty, was it really pedophilia”. There’s a shocking amount that are also being led either to “well what if the child consents” and the more common “children shouldn’t have any rights at all so it’s effectively a property crime”.

    I hope the next President makes two changes to the WH:

    1. Restore the previous incarnation of the East Wing, but with a plaque listing all the people and companies that supposedly paid for it, labeled “In remembrance of these individuals that bribed the President.”

    2. Leave the paved-over Rose Garden, and rename it to the Donald J. Trump Memorial Concrete Slab.

        Plus eradicate his name from everything. Remove “Trump” from any building his family owns. Redact his names from donations and fundraisers, anonymize them. Basically remove him from history. Undo anything he did and make sure people cannot even know something was undone.

          I’d keep “trump” (lower case, without any reference to where it came from) as a certain general use word, though.

            I instigated a transatlantic Cockney rhyming slang version. In Cockney the rhyme is usually the word that’s missing, so you just have to know what it means.

            For example:

            • “Apples” -> apples and pears = stairs
            • “Sky” -> sky rocket = pocket
            • “North” -> north and south = mouth

            Resulting in:

            • USA: “Taking a dump”
            • Dump -> Donald Trump (rhyme)
            • Britain: “Going for a shit”
            • Our family: “Going for a Donald”

            I’m also writing this while going for a Donald.

        Honestly my biggest issue with this is that it seems to be a pretty clear sign (in addition to the other blatantly obvious signs like various public comments, selling Trump 2028 gear on his website, etc) that he has no intention of ever leaving the White House, term limits be damned. He’s just not the type of person to do major work like that if he’s expecting to move out and no longer be able to enjoy it himself in a few years.

      Honestly, the white house is a living structure. Its been constantly renovated as long as its stood in order to meet the changing needs of running a country. Its what happens with most old structures, additions get made, more damaged or outdated sections get replaced, and ultimately the structure changes over time.

      It also makes for some brilliant imagery of what Trump is doing to the country and he knows it. He’s both literally and figuratively tearing down and replacing the seat of power, in ways that will be technically difficult, expensive and time consuming to restore or replace. And like any structure that gets a poorly conceived modification, his changes to the country won’t be torn down and reverted to their earlier state, they’ll most likely be dressed up, the most egregious flaws will be reworked, and some of Trumps changes will remain for a long time without update. Ideally all of Trumps changes will be torn down and a completely new structure will replace them, but that’s ambitious, expensive and disruptive, plus if the wrong architect does so the entire structure can be far worse than it started.

    So, quick question: what exactly does he need a ballroom for? It’s not like he’s any good at dancing, even though he is somewhat famous for his double-handed cock milker move. Exhibit A

    What’s more, he doesn’t have any balls, either. Certainly not the kind that would require a dedicated room. Exhibit B

    I really don’t get these brain farts of his. But hey, I’m not the one with syphilis-induced dementia here.

    God, I can’t wait until you guys finally muster the courage to oust this wannabe dictator and his clique.

      His entire life has been based around his perception of what people above him think of him. That’s why he plastered the oval office with garish gold leaf everywhere. He thinks it will impress people like putin and erdoğan and kim . Even more so,he’s showing that he has the power to spend the people’s money lavishly on stuff the country doesn’t want nor need, because that’s what dictators do.

      Because it is not so much a ball room as it is a throne room. He wants a giant hall where he can preside at a throne in the end, where people who wants to see him has to walk through the entire thing feeling humbled, just like his dictator pals does it.
