Trump's Second Term

Democrats scarred the country.

Stephen Miller: "The scandal is how Democrats and the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it's in the neo-classical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed"

BREAKING: Doug Ford’s FAKE Reagan ad just went GLOBAL.

Sky News Australia is now covering the $75 MILLION scandal that caused Donald Trump to TERMINATE all trade talks with Canada. 🇨🇦💀

Canada’s humiliation is now international news.

Someone's going to have to explain to me which bit of that is supposed to be humiliating for Canada. I mean, they didn't use an AI faked Reagan speech, did they? Otherwise there wouldn't be that stuff from the Reagan Institute getting all cross about the Canadians not asking permission to use it.

Yes, obviously MAGA are going to get spoonfed a version of the story where Canada are the bad guys for claiming Reagan contradicted Trump, and when it gets picked up worldwide they'll be reassured that the rest of the planet is being told that Canada are the bad guy, but seriously, how dim would you need to be to buy that? Nothing in that report suggested they thought Canada wasn't right about what Reagan said.

We're upset by both, and most acutely that people will contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to a Trump vanity project but will scream bloody murder if even one dollar of their money is spent to feed a hungry worker. Our state just announced that SNAP payments won't be made for November due to the government shutdown. This means that many Utah families won't have food for Thanksgiving.

The sad fact is that the demise of the East Wing is a concise visual. It is ultimately unimportant compared to the welfare of millions of Americans. But it's an image that tells a more emotionally resonant story than the abstract concept of people going hungry. And it's sad that politicians are always callously toying with the outcomes for poor people. More so during an avertible government shutdown, but it's an ongoing struggle that can lose impact over time. Demolishing the White House is a singular event. It's not politics as usual. It's President Trump giving a giant middle finger to the country and saying, "You can't stop me from burning it all to the ground." It's unprecedented and therefore briefly more noteworthy.

It's another flex of Trump testing his boundaries. It will only encourage him to go even further.

Miller: The East Wing which is not part of The White House was a cheaply built add-on structure in the mid-20th century badly in need of refurbishment, repair, and renovation…

Of ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ course it's part of the White House. It's every bit as much a part as is the ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ oval office in the diametrically opposite wing. Don't treat us like gullible infants.

And you're not refurbishing, repairing or renovating it. You're bulldozing it and a city block sized area to build the Pharaoh a gigantic gaudy tomb, completely out of scale with the rest of the building, and you're doing it without the slightest regard for what anyone else thinks as if the whole place was Trump's personal plaything to smash up as he pleases.

Per Wikipedia:
By propagating the theory of degenerate art, the Nazis combined their anti-Semitism with their drive to control the culture, thus consolidating public support for both campaigns. Their efforts in this regard were unquestionably aided by a popular hostility to Modernism that predated their movement. The view that such art had reflected Germany's condition and moral bankruptcy was widespread, and many artists acted in a manner to overtly undermine or challenge popular values and morality.

Oops! Not sure why I posted that here. A senior moment, I suppose. I'll be more careful in the future.

Hitler built a ballroom off of the Chancellery with a bunker underneath it. Then in 1942 he built a deeper bunker under that. That's where he spent his last days. I hope it turns out the same for the American Hitler.

Boycott and protest any contractor that might consider taking on this project. Make it impossible for this project to be built.
