      Reddit is owned and operated by boot licking wannabe fascists. That’s what’s going on.

      Dude, get off Reddit. The thing that’s going on there now has been going on there for years. It’s a true cesspool over there and using the platform enables them and gives money to spez.

      Only 7 days? Hell, I got permabanned from Reddit years ago for mentioning Elon Musk’s Boring Company and their ‘Not A Flamethrower’ contraption, which is totally a flamethrower of sorts, and looks like a fucking toy!

      And this was way before Elmo even mentioned the idea of buying Twitter and before Reddit went public…

      Fuck Reddit and fuck Spez, they’ll just as soon ban you for mentioning facts.

      People on the Conservatives and AskTrumpSupporters subreddits love to whine about how left leaning the rest of the site is.

      I think that was true enough in the past, but the last several years have changed things.

      I haven’t been there in the comments for about a year now but from the regular posts on here about being banned over there make me think it’s only gotten worse.

    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.

      Fun fact: there are more vacant houses in the US than there are homeless people. We literally have an empty, unused house for every single homeless person right now.

          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.

          There have been repeated studies and examples where homeless people have simply been giving a house and basic living wage, with no qualifiers on who can receive it based on mental health or drug use. Every time this is done people thrive and pull their lives back together.

          It absolutely is, at its core, a housing problem. Provide basic humanitarian safety and stability and people can pull themselves out of the darkness just fine.

          Edit: the “evidence and outcomes” section of the housing first Wikipedia page speaks for itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_First

    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
