Meme thread. Daily? Who knows. We'll see if I even remember it exists.

Today's theme: a little dirty but we're all adults here.
I am automatically suspicious of people who use the word "normies."

When I accidentally dropped my Lego White House a few months ago and broke it I guess I predicted the future
I can't for the life of me figure out how the regime thought this would go over.

And I'm frustated AF that the fact that he DID NOT TELL THE PUBLIC IT WAS BEING TORN DOWN is not a bigger screaming scandal.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The entire White House East Wing has been demolished as Trump moves forward with ballroom construction, AP photos show.

I really do think most people aren't cognizant with how the last 8 months have created an identity schism with regard to the "national identity" most Americans have/had.

It's...it's kinda like watching a country have a mid-life crisis.
We also made "The White House" into something of a personification.

We talk about "the White House today said XYZ."

Do we all know we mean "the people IN the building?" Sure. But we gave it a name and, to some extent, a state of being. That does things in our brain & our national identity.

I mean...our whole spieces, by and large, is attached to symbolism. It's a huge component of how we make sense of the world.

The White House is literally iconic for the US.
civic religion is a thing and that’s the mfing temple right there

should it be, at long last, the thing that breaks the fever? probably not

but people really do care about buildings
i’m gonna be honest you guys are a little more broken up about the white house than i would have expected people to be

We literally had that.

Biden starved the media. So they refused to cover any of the positive things he did and blamed everything Republicans did to stop on him on Dems.

Harris took it a step further and gave social media influencers the spots at the DNC reserved for MSM, and they murdered her.
We need a Dem president to trust bust the media
At this point, this may be the best case scenario and tbh I'm cool with it.
Hes going to dig a big ass hole get the entire Republican Party to defend it and then just die. A kind of a metaphor
The more I think about the Epstein Ballroom and the big dumb Arch, the less this feels like a guy intending to stick around and the more it feels like a guy desperately attempting to secure a legacy.
This is /sort of/ the case but not exactly.

His weekend schedule is frequently empty on RollCall and updated after-the-fact.

I've been watching it for a few months now--this is why when he "disappeared" last month I couldn't understand everyone's excitement. Because to me, it was typical.
I know I overworry about it. But I watched it happen w/the nascent days of things like Limbaugh & then Facebook & I sincerely believe 50% or more of why we are where we are was people in the early 00s & beyond rolling their eyes & letting their crazy righty uncle slide on half-truths.

Site of the former East Wing can be used to house a catapult with which to fling Republicans into the Potomac
the ballroom will never be built and he’ll just pocket whatever money he collects because he is a grifter first and foremost
Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million

(It changed from $200 million, then $300 million, now $350 million within the course of a few days)
"if you look at the renderings"

Did we have wide access to the renderings? Did they make a point to publicize them?

And if that's what the renderings showed, why didn't he say so when directly asked about it?
Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure.

Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized.

Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.
Right or wrong, the left is expected to maintain credibility while the right can play "that's not EXACTLY what he said" all day long.

It's a useful soundbite even in context, but the context does matter. Otherwise the story becomes how we're wrong instead of how he's a criminal.
Please tell me he blamed tariffs.

That's his Reddit account, which he's confirmed.

Some Dems are trying to do something about this and send the message that this is not consequence-free:

Good: Jamie Raskin tells me he's formally demanding any/all internal communications between WH and DOJ on Trump's $230 million payoff.

More Dems should talk this way about Trump's criming. He's turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System.

New piece:

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse
It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

YOU COULD ARREST THESE PEOPLE AND STOP THE DRUGS! Why won’t you answer that question????
FBI Director Kash Patel: "Instead of attacking the people at this table, maybe the media should go out there and talk to the lives that have been saved forever."
jfc at least try not to look too desperate while you gargle his balls, you N@zi fuck.
Stephen Miller: "Let me just say Mr President that this country was going to die without you. This country was going to actually die without you ... you alone saved it."
Also he's keeping his hands below the table again.

The East Wing: Totally Demolished

Before 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️After
"Burning to the ground?"

Okay. Show us the footage, then.
Trump: "I look the other night, Saturday night, Portland is burning to the ground and these people are saying it's just friendly stuff. The whole place is burning to the ground. So we'll take care of that one. That's like an insurrection more than it is anything else. Portland is crazy."

You don't seem to understand the problem here.

I'm not accusing him of being a Nazi.

I'm not even accusing him of being antisemitic, at least not actively.

I'm accusing him of lying & gaslighting about how long he knew what the tattoo symbolized...and of VASTLY understating how big a deal it is.
The pull quote is a bit misleading about what she was talking about. She was asked about whether he was going to make further renovations to the White House.

I like & appreciate Aaron's work, but I've learned that I really have to listen to the videos myself. His highlights can be kinda sketchy.

A Nazi tattoo fails all tests.
You cannot defeat authoritarianism with purity tests. If you are actively working to splinter a unified front against authoritarianism, you are the problem.
