      That reminder is daily, if not more frequently. So let’s start talking about the people who are ‘pulling the puppet’s strings’.

        String pullers, and those going along with it because they think they’ll get something out of it at the cost of the country’s decline.

        We’re going to need a wall. A long one.

      Isn’t there some kind of protocol for if the president is unable to perform his duties due to insanity?

        The 25th was written to be used for incapacity, and an insane but active president can defeat it. If his cabinet members declare him incapable, all he has to do is write a letter saying “Nuh-huh, I’m fine” and that’s the end of it. The amendment wasn’t intended to deal with mental illness. More like “POTUS in a coma.”

        If they want him out, they should impeach him.

    Yes to this but veto to block a freshwater pipeline for 50,000 residents

    (official reason: waste of taxpayer money, real reason: govnor hurt his fragile ego)

      Taco is such an asshole. And of course the “waste of taxpayer money” was something that provides clean water to humans and passed with overwhelming support.

      That this absolute DICKHEAD would try to use that as a cover speaks to just how terrible Republicans are - like good little parrots they were repeating the mantra “waste, fraud and abuse. waste, fraud and abuse” when “doge” was busy doing things to steal data and kill human beings.

      They are programmed to believe lies like Taco’s.

      I’ve said this for decades and I’ll say it again: no Republican should be allowed into any office.

      Hey, I’ve been reading where a couple 5 pound bags of sugar in a concrete mixer will greatly delay setting, and may or may not significantly compromise the strength. A few liters of cola may be even worse.

    First the military parades, now this. He thinks he’s giving Napoleon energy when he’s really giving kim family energy, who have their own arch which is :

    The structure is modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but is 10 metres (33 ft) taller.

    So you know this arch de trump will be 10 meters higher than Kim’s.

      The parade was a joke and he will never have any arch, don’t stress. He couldn’t even build one wall.

      If I was American, I would be more worried about filling the enormous concrete slab a few years from now.

      The one left where the east wing was.

    Trump doesn’t seem to understand that the existing presidential monuments were built posthumously and by popular opinion in order to honor exceptional leaders. His desperate attempts to plaster his name on random bullshit is pathetic. I hope once he finally kicks the bucket that we quickly rename these monuments to honor his victims. I wish he could be alive to see it.

      Same here. I imagine he’s sundowning most days, but has times of lucidity. I want him to still have that lucidity while he fumes about all his stupid shit getting destroyed, and his name taken off of everything of value. Maybe rename Four Seasons Landscaping in “honor” of him, LOL.

        That’s why Putin put him in. Even if Trump isn’t knowingly a saboteur, his brainlessness, weakness and incompetence still get the job done.

      Well, there was an article the other day about 13 government buildings he wanted to tear down and preservationists were fighting back, but I thought he wanted to build the arch on the Mall

    Is he just going to keep picking other country’s monuments he likes and make his own bootleg version of it in Washington?

    Looking forward to the Trump Mahal, Sizeable Bob, Christopher the Coupon Redeemer, DC Tower and the Slanted Tower of Pizza.

    Good. I hope it’s gigantic. I hope this country never forgets that generations of opulence and greed created this criminal psychopath.
