[Jack by the hedge]

Look what he's done to it

Idiocracy is real and it's here.

Can you imagine trying to get permission to use those huge cranes so close to the White House that the building might be struck if one of them toppled over? Absolutely seriously, imagine yourself in that first planning meeting. "Okay here is what we propose to do..." <stunned silence> "You should probably just go now." A gentle reminder that Trump is merely the tenant. It's not his house.

And that's without even beginning to consider the indignity of putting a major symbol of the world's most powerful country literally in the shadow of that trashy overblown spectacle.

I ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ despair for America.

I’m starting to think Lutnick and Bessent don’t have a clue as to what they’re talking about when they claim the GDP this year will be at 6%.

Fox Business: "1st quarter GDP coming in with a read of 1.6%. So this is a revision down. The first read was 2%, now we're coming in with a second read of 1.6%, and that is actually below the range."

They are counting the "investments" for the Golden Dome.

Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years.

Why is he mean mugging? Fine, don't smile, but at least try to look dignified.

A banknote which history will nickname "the mugshot" as it amusingly appears to replicate a photo from one of the first times the notorious criminal Trump surrendered to the authorities.

Bank customer: I'd like to withdraw $750 in cash from this account.
Bank teller: How would you like that?
Bank customer: Five Benjamins and a Felon.

A slight aside, but ... Milli Vanilli???

I heard one of them had died.

It's his fake tough guy look, because he has no idea what it takes to be a tough guy.

Morris Day & The Time were also listed but have said no.

I beleive the response was "Hell to the no!"

Most countries avoid high denomination notes as they ease money laundering and criminal activities. Some countries are finding cash unnecessary.

Maybe he won't be living when the bill is here?

He seems to be [ahem], right up Trumps alley.

Now you remind me of that, I can see why Trump likes the idea

Shouldn't affect the singing though.

Faulkner: Sanctuary cities includes Boston, Chicago and Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco…all of those airports handle 1,100 international flights per day. They're not just gonna not fly. They're going to go to red states and cities. A boon for red states. People will hate living in blue states.

Vance at Air Force Academy: I've watched a few highlights of graduation speeches where someone will discuss AI and be met with literal boos. Now you can't boo me. I'm the Vice President of the United States

It reminds me of a pose from Zoolander. I wonder if Trump thought that was a "how to" video.

Rep. Sheri Biggs on South Carolina: "Right now, we have one congressman that's Democrat. I think a 7 and 0 map would definitely reflect our values. We should have only Americans voting in our elections."

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: "This may affect international flights coming in and out of their airports because I'm gonna have to pull CBP officers out of being able to process international flights and put them helping our ICE agents."

Markwayne Mullin: "If CBP isn't there processing international flights, then those individuals when the airlines land won't be permitted into the United States. If things don't change, we're gonna have to make this step pretty quick."
