    Remember that scene in Inglorious Basterds where they lock the cinema full of Nazi officers and set it on fire?

    Cool scene, just thought I’d bring it up.

    I’m fairly convinced he’s building it because he has no intention of his regime being over. It will be passed down to his son as the next Reichful ruler. :/

      I agree he has no intentions of leaving office, but neither of his sons have the charisma to carry on the cult of personality. Whenever and however he dies, there is going to be a massive power struggle that ensures, and I don’t know if there’s anyone that can pull off being the sole inheritor of the MAGA movement

    Wouldn’t it make a good court room for a Nuremberg-style trial to hold the current Junta responsible for their crimes and treason? And remember: “I was just following orders” is not a valid excuse!

    Homeless shelter and soup kitchen! The President is there every other Thursday serving food and drinks to the guests. As is tradition.

          fuck airbnb. rents have tripled here with so many apartments and homes taken off the market and turned into untaxed and unlicensed hotel rooms.

        I didn’t know that, but I do know that homelessness isn’t just a housing problem. A huge number of cases are more mental health related: E.g. even if the person had money they wouldn’t be able to live in a stable home. Because the root cause of their lack of money and homelessness is mental health. I would also consider drug addiction to be a mental health issue here by the way which would be a significant percentage of the homeless too.

        And that is of course heavily associated with the lack of affordable mental healthcare in the US :( And drug addiction care.

        Of course if you would give out housing you would save a lot of homeless, just saying it wouldn’t work for all.

    We could probably take the ballroom apart very carefully and use the materials to rebuild the east wing but, once started, we’d discover that trumpy cut corners like hell to line his pockets even more and the ballroom is just a pig shell of nothingness, but with golden lipstick.

      Nobody is going to rebuild the east wing. Americans don’t want it torn down, but I’m sure most of us also don’t want our money spent rebuilding it
