          Imagine getting to be the person detonating it. I bet you could auction that honor off for charity…they did that for Donvict’s failed casino in Atlantic City, too.

      Yes, because if you are counting on Democratic politicians to reverse anything - this, Denali, Gulf of Mexico, Kennedy Center, etc - then you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Fossils like Schumer think reversing incredibly unpopular things somehow loses them support from centrists.

      I’ve voted Democrat all my life, but I swear to God if the next Democratic president doesn’t go full scorched earth on all the Trump bullshit, I’m fully done with them.

      I literarily will give no shits anymore, another Biden let’s move on and hold hands after this fascist asshole is unacceptable.

          Reconciliation and forgiveness can be powerful tools for a country to move on. However, there is there is the improper way and there are more effective ways to for a country to heal.

          Truth commissions can be an effective way to for a country to move forward. People have to be held accountable, there has to be fact finding, a plan to move forward, and genuine good faith to particpate.

            Perhaps. But the US is allergic to reparations for slavery, has never done a commission on the lingering effects of slavery, or the experience of being Black in America. why would they do one for electing someone twice who turned out to be dictator and did a coup??

        The 25th was written to be used for incapacity, and an insane but active president can defeat it. If his cabinet members declare him incapable, all he has to do is write a letter saying “Nuh-huh, I’m fine” and that’s the end of it. The amendment wasn’t intended to deal with mental illness. More like “POTUS in a coma.”

        If they want him out, they should impeach him.

        String pullers, and those going along with it because they think they’ll get something out of it at the cost of the country’s decline.

        We’re going to need a wall. A long one.

    First the military parades, now this. He thinks he’s giving Napoleon energy when he’s really giving kim family energy, who have their own arch which is :

    The structure is modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but is 10 metres (33 ft) taller.

    So you know this arch de trump will be 10 meters higher than Kim’s.

      The parade was a joke and he will never have any arch, don’t stress. He couldn’t even build one wall.

      If I was American, I would be more worried about filling the enormous concrete slab a few years from now.

    Trump doesn’t seem to understand that the existing presidential monuments were built posthumously and by popular opinion in order to honor exceptional leaders. His desperate attempts to plaster his name on random bullshit is pathetic. I hope once he finally kicks the bucket that we quickly rename these monuments to honor his victims. I wish he could be alive to see it.

      Same here. I imagine he’s sundowning most days, but has times of lucidity. I want him to still have that lucidity while he fumes about all his stupid shit getting destroyed, and his name taken off of everything of value. Maybe rename Four Seasons Landscaping in “honor” of him, LOL.

      Taco is such an asshole. And of course the “waste of taxpayer money” was something that provides clean water to humans and passed with overwhelming support.

      That this absolute DICKHEAD would try to use that as a cover speaks to just how terrible Republicans are - like good little parrots they were repeating the mantra “waste, fraud and abuse. waste, fraud and abuse” when “doge” was busy doing things to steal data and kill human beings.

      They are programmed to believe lies like Taco’s.

      I’ve said this for decades and I’ll say it again: no Republican should be allowed into any office.

      Hey, I’ve been reading where a couple 5 pound bags of sugar in a concrete mixer will greatly delay setting, and may or may not significantly compromise the strength. A few liters of cola may be even worse.
