Did Congress approve the allocation of money for this project? No.
It must be difficult to be an American watching Trump destroy the country your ancestors have been building for hundreds of years. He has caused massive generational and irreversible damage at this point and its only getting worse.
Oh, and China just set a trade surplus record above 1 trillion thanks to Trump, first and only country to do that, how is all that winning going?
What’s even harder is watching family and neighbors try to explain why it’s a good thing.
Time to cut those people out of your life. It’s hard, but you know it’s true.
I basically already have (years ago). But when you’ve got family that hasn’t been cut off, the ones who have still manage to make appearances.
Some of those morons need an exit ramp
Can’t, my grandmother is elderly and I’m the only one of her kids/grandkids who talks to her, not really her fault on that one my mother is insane my uncle was stupid and the other grandkids are more or less different family outside of blood due to custody or cutoff reasons. Also she is also effectively my mother and is the woman who raised me.
Figure I can work out any frustration by car bombing random trumpers if a civil war breaks out.
I wonder how they’ll spin it when he publicly burns the constitution
From my experience they just say “ that didn’t really happen, that was twisted into a lie, he wouldn’t ever do that “ - these people never, ever admit anything that is proven to be true. It’s always some contrarian, idiotic “ I know better than you “ take. It’s hopeless.
Yep. ‘What about when Joe Biden made us all wear masks and fired anyone who wouldn’t.’ And then everything gets de-railed trying to explain that Biden was not president at that time.
No, I think they’ll celebrate it
It’s insanely difficult. All of this shit has substantially changed who I am at my core. I opted not to leave the country a few years back because my parents wouldn’t have been able to get in anywhere else for being too old.
Now I’m pretty much waiting around for this whole thing to get rebooted.
Now I’m pretty much waiting around for this whole thing to get rebooted.
That’s part of the problem. Everyone is standing around waiting for someone else to fix it for them.
You gotta pull together with others and work as a group to fight back.
I know group cooperation towards a common goal runs counter to the "nation of rugged individuals " mythos that Americans have for themselves, but that’s what it will take.
What’s with all these ca accounts vying for open revolt.
Where did I advocate for revolt or violence?
You gotta pull together with others and work as a group to fight back.
There have been protests nearly every single day since he took office. We’re already grouped together fighting back so you’re either uninformed or you’re calling for open revolt.
So which is it.
There have been protests nearly every single day since he took office
Isolated and uncoordinated protests.
And not nearly big enough.
They’re not though.
And we had the largest protest in American history like 5 months ago.
So again you’re uninformed or backing open revolt.
I live 4 days drive from DC
How far are you from your state legislature? Or from your congressman’s office?
And, again, have you got together with other people to combine your voices?
I’m involved with DSA in my area.
I think we’re talking about different solutions.
I’m involved with DSA in my area.
That’s exactly what I’m talking about.
Welp I guess that’s it then
It can’t be rebooted until the series finale ends… in civil war.
Yeah, we’re in a mid-season plot stretch to see if this administration can “weekend at Bernie’s” a vapid blathering demential patient for another year so that JD Vance can get 2.5 terms as president.
It’s all going exactly as everyone with 2+ braincells predicted.
My ancestors were forced from their land by the American government in an event known as the Trail of Tears. So this is kinda a mixed bag for me really…

Every adult born after 1948 that I’ve met has been selfish to the core.
… What…? Are you a bot?
deleted by creator
Honestly not as dumb as thinking everyone born in the last 78 years is selfish.
Generalize much?

I do wear an N95 in public. I had COVID twice and still have long COVID symptoms. I’ve refused to be cavalier with my health since the pandemic.
I also research who companies are owned by and take every step to obtain what I need from oligarchs either second hand or through extralegal means.
Generalizations only hurt you, my anti-capitalist friend.
Edit- correct me if I’m wrong, but how you’re coming across gives really heavy “everyone in the last 78 years is selfish to the core except me” vibes.
Are you the one enlightened soul in the entire benighted race of man?

Just a reminder to any DC area contractors who may or may not be involved in upcoming unnamed construction projects: a couple bags of sugar or 2-liters of cola added to a truckload of concrete will drastically alter setting times and compromise the final strength of construction.
Just a fun little tidbit to tuck away in your brain for later.
A more important reminder to contractors: if Congress doen’t fund the slparticular project, you WILL NOT be paid for your work or materials. Trump signing the contract doesn’t make the federal government responsible for the cost and of course Donald won’t pay it from his own pocket.
Absolutely. Just look at how Trump treated every contractor who ever did work for him on his buildings in New York. As soon as the work is done, sue, counter-sue, and never pay.
Sure sure, but he’ll definitely pay me this time because my company is different. All those other guys were just incapable of doing the job right.
Also, a reminder to any contractor:
Also, name and shame any contractors you see doing that work.
Couple of bags (>= 2kg) or 2 liters of cola (200 g) to a truck load? Not only is there a magnitude difference, I also doubt that 2 kg will do that. Normal amounts are up to 0.1 %, say you need 0.5 % to make it significantly weaker. 10 cubic yards, 7.5 m³ of concrete, are about 18’000 kg. 0.5 % of that are 90 kg.
So it will even set faster and really take at least 0.5 % to reduce the strength in any significant way.
Perhaps not only 2 bags, but it doesn’t take much, and is very doable by motivated single individuals.
Dumping halve a ton of sugar in a truck is technically doable, but a bit harder than a bottle of cola.
I’m guessing hes copying the Arc de Triomphe simply because he hasn’t seen the Brandenburger Tor.
I wonder when he’s gonna approach Hugo Boss for new uniforms for the Secret Service.
Promise you he doesn’t know the difference between the two. Or that the other exists.
France already built this wonder. You can’t build the same wonder another civ already has!
I think this is evidence that Trump got through school by copying the other kids’ homework.
I see Donvict is focused on the most important matters. Let’s see:
Revenge against people like Boebert and Colorado in general (and in the process fucking with people’s drinking water, because he’s no leader at all but a spiteful little baby), writing the text for a set of plaques that go with pictures that are going to be torn down the minute he leaves office, putting his name on buildings he did nothing to contribute anything toward, tearing down the East wing and blathering on about some bullshit ballroom no one gave a fuck about before, and now a stupid arch.
Meanwhile, he and his idiots have done nearly everything possible to fuck up an economy that was the “envy of the world”, and it only seems to be getting worse.
This guy is such a fucking idiot.
That’s… About 4x longer away than 2 weeks, and it’s been a decade since he said he’d have healthcare solved in 2 weeks, so In 40 years that arch might begin
Nah, the arch will start when he says it because it benefits him.
It took them one second to put his name up on John F. Kennedy Center after they illegally voted to do it.
Is Congress going to use any of its powers to stop him? Probably no.

Is the ballroom finished yet, or did he get bored?
There is a concept of a ballroom.
I wonder if its two months actual time or two months Trump time, which actually means never (see also two weeks), given the white house abcess of a ballroom he could be serious but…
I’m not sure if “abcess” was intentional (“abscess”) or a typo (“absence”) but either way… it works.
With a bigly gold statue of Dear Leader on top, and “MAGA” carved in 6-foot letters.
In 6-foot GOLD letters
So we have a two month lead time to get ahead of this. Dems, what are you doing about it???
They will strongly advise the president that what he’s doing is illegal and immoral and send you panicked fund raising emails about it. Oh, and text messages. Can’t forget those.
Your healthcare funds going to a good cause /s
Yes rico ,kaboom🖕
