    Now this actually is a distraction from the pedophilia and warcrimes. Rather than warcrimes being a distraction from the pedophilia, or vice versam

    Trump set out to accomplish the renovation that has eluded previous presidents in late March. In a post on Truth Social, he criticized the Biden administration for not taking on the project after a $34 million reconstruction effort under President Barack Obama proved to be unsuccessful.

    I somehow feel like there was another person between that didn’t do anything… 🤔

    And of course it has to be some diabolical covert operation orchestrated by “Antifa”. It’s unthinkable that the 80 year old going to the doctor every 6 weeks made a poor decision about some vanity project.

      Absolutely hold him accountable for such things, but let’s not forget the chain of yes-men that enabled it to become an actual disaster. There is room on the wall for more than one person.

        There is only one rule in the Republican party, Trump is infallible.

        My wife’s aunt is a MAGA hat surgeon. She informally recommends Ivermectin to people to treat any number of illnesses. She doesn’t prescribe but tells them where to get it online.

        All because the leader cannot be wrong. Ivermectin must be a wonder drug even if it was useless for covid.

    Slapping a shitty coat of paint over a complex and long-standing problem and claiming it’s fixed is an apt metaphor for the last 250 years…

    Algae, and now the paint is peeling. Could not be more emblematic. Didn’t solve the problem, and inarguably made it worse.

      Yep, just like Iran, DOGE, Covid, the economy, healthcare, fraud, immigration, the Press Corps, the East Wing, the Kennedy Center, the entirety of the White House, etc.

      Trump might literally have the Mierdas Touch.

    It’s wild how he’s turned his immediate surroundings in Washington into this living metaphor for his chaos and senility. Half the whitehouse is torn down, there’s a circus attraction on the front lawn, the rose garden is a slab of concrete and the reflecting pool has become a swamp. Nauseatingly stupid, yet astonishingly predictable; predictions that when they were first made were called hysterical and deranged…

      Real estate is the one thing he’s supposed to be good at, and he’s even fucking that up.

      The dumb part is not that this orange idiot wanted to do all this.

      The dumb part is that there is a large team, a huge organization, an entire community of people and professionals that enabled him to do all this and make it all possible. Everyone keeps pointing fingers at the deranged mango clown show, but people seldom think about the production crew that keep him in power and enable everything he wants to do, no matter how stupid it is.

        Accelerationists want the chaos he brings. This was all part of their plan. They didn’t know exactly what he would do, but they’re on board with the crazy shit he’s come up with.

      Yeah, that article goes out of its way to call out and condemn entirely justified criticism.
