    Everything this fucker owns needs to be forcibly sold off to pay for restoration (Kennedy center, reflecting pool, Whitehouse, etc) once he’s finally out of office.

    So they have to let him renovate or it’ll be torn down. And if he renovates, then his name has to be put on the building or “funding will dry up”

    Just say it. “If he can’t have it, nobody can.”

      This is so typical of conservatives - they’ll grab something to hold hostage that they know decent people care about and point a gun right at it and threaten to destroy it if they don’t have their way.

    Why aren’t we just killing these people and burning down their homes yet? What is our societal tolerance to this shit? Where the fuck is the line?

      It think it might be some kind of indoctrination. Our whole lives we’re told “violence is never the answer” but, violence is definitely the answer sometimes.

      The Dutch actually ate one of their Prime Ministers in 1672…
      He even was innocent, false rumors blamed him for collusion with invading enemy countries, he got dragged from prison by an angry mob of poor folk.

      So, yeah, give the people enough reason to rage hard and who knows how many people will feed on trump and his family 😬

      You are free to. I’m sure you could get him with a fibre optic fpv drone.

    Remember how Stephen Miller went on that long tirade about how “we” are the ones who make things?

      The conservatives don’t make shit. When they get elected, they only kick over things everyone else has made, then complain that “government doesn’t work”.

        That process is how they indoctrinate their voters. Trumpism writ large is how the billionaires will eventually indoctrinate everyone to lose faith in government more broadly.

          Trust in government started to take a huge downturn in the 60s. I mean, there were definitely good reasons for that, I suppose. It’s down to 17%, contrasted with 77% in 1964.
