      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.

    Good. I hope it’s gigantic. I hope this country never forgets that generations of opulence and greed created this criminal psychopath.

    Yes to this but veto to block a freshwater pipeline for 50,000 residents

      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.

    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.

      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.

    Trump’s Triumphal arch is a joke, it has no symbolism of any value, where for instance the French “Arc de triomphe de l’Étoile” has double significance as praising the success of the Napoleon army, and as a symbolic memorial place for the unknown soldier, and today it has become a historic landmark.

    What Trump is doing is putting up a huge piece of garbage of no value and slab his own name on it.
    It’s a cheap copy of “the original” in Paris, both in concept and design. Much like a cheap Chinese copy of a Vuitton designer piece.
    Trump has no style and no class, only someone completely without any sense of either could think such a project is cool.

    Cai reached Trump by phone at Mar-a-Lago and asked when he expected work to begin.

    “It hasn’t started yet. It starts sometime in the next two months. It’ll be great. Everyone loves it,” replied Trump. “They love the ballroom too. But they love the Triumphal Arch.”
