Trump's Second Term

Jack by the hedge said:
Vandalism of a national monument with the sole purpose of building an uselessly-gigantic dictator-scale gaudy trophy monument to himself, to leave his permanent(?) scar on the national psyche is a cost of a kind.

How long before this bad joke is itself torn down and something functional and tasteful once again replaces it? It might even be replaced by a ballroom which doesn't need thousands of people in it to make it not look empty.

The next administration should just repurpose the ballroom as a museum to civil rights, civility and diversity. Or something.

Q: How comfortable are you with the president seeking $230 million from the DOJ?

MIKE JOHNSON: Uh, I don't know the details about that. I just read it. I didn't talk with him about that. I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement. What I heard is that if receives it, he's gonna consider giving it to charity. They attack him for everything he does. *changes topic*

Has anyone tried unplugging the sensory deprivation tank in Johnson's office?

Mariannette. Her parents must have hated her. I bet she has almost uncontrollable urges to tell people to eat cake when they lose their benefits.

lol. Would fit all the other out-of-touch statements they keep making. "Hey, surely if the working man can't afford to pay the bills, he can just sell off some of his stock portfolio? Lay off some of his workers? Tell his personal chef to not order $10 bananas until the finances are back in order?"

I still can't get over how they're led by a man (using the term generously) who doesn't even understand what groceries are. Hey, at least VP Vance pretended to originally have been a man of the people, from Appalachia, no less.

Oh, he understands groceries, better than perhaps anyone else in history; it's a bag with different things in it. Bet you didn't know that.

It always does. I suggested earlier somewhere that if the line "Look on my Works, etc." were suggested, Trump would happily have that inscribed on his triumphal arch, without batting an illiterate eye.

On the question of how does he find the time? For one thing, he does nothing much else, and evil is quicker, simpler and cheaper than good. If you feed the poor or house the homeless and that sort of thing, you have to find stuff. How much easier and quicker it is if it's their stuff and all you need to do is take it. And for another, he has minions. And like every evil emperor who promises power, it doesn't matter how many suckers sign up, fail, and fall. There's a waiting line outside.

It took six years to build the twin towers of the WTC. Aside from a bit of pre-planning and some flight lessons, they were demolished in hours.

RAJU: You said yesterday you were still trying to get the details of this $230m the president wants from the DOJ. Now that you've had some time, are you ok with taxpayers potentially being on the hook for that kind of money?

MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not trying to dodge the question. I haven't had time to get the details. That's still on my list of things to do.

I have no doubt that the ballroom with be slapped together with the shottiest, cheapest, below bargain basement materials and workmanship. As such, any bets on the ceiling collapsing on Trump and whoever is in it for the inaugural celebration?

Also would like the irony of the new monstrosity is never built because they can't hire any labor for construct it, or people keep calling ICE to raid the site to look for anyone in the country illegally.
