[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 169 points 10 months ago (4 children) A convicted felon is literally destroying the White House. And half this country approves. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 74 points 10 months ago (4 children) I don't approve of it, but I don't really care if he tears it down. Actually, I think the whole White House should be torn down, preferably with Trump and all his friends inside it. What I oppose is him using tax dollars for this ballroom that none of his subjects will ever be allowed to use or get utility from. Plus the literally everything else he's ever done 😆 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] techt@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (3 children) To be fair, in the pursuit of accuracy, they have said it's all private funding taking care of it with some coming from strongarm lawsuits. I think that's easy to verify with receipts, no details released yet. The honourable thing to have done would be to fund government paychecks with that money, and that would probably be a good move politically, but obviously not happening. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 32 points 10 months ago (2 children) He's said similar before with his salary, while going on to take bribes and use the government to pay for services at his businesses. Being fair does not mean swallowing lies if intentions from a known liar. Sure, if receipts are forthcoming, we change. They won't come. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 7 points 10 months ago Right. Trump is a known liar, at this point it takes more than his word to give him the benefit of the doubt. permalink fedilink source parent [–] techt@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago No disagreement here, just want to make sure we get the nuance into the conversation where appropriate. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 24 points 10 months ago Yes, the $250 million is all private funding. Completely above board. Also, totally coincidentally and not at all related, Trump wants the DOJ to pay him $230 million of tax payers money. Totally unrelated. Don't know why I brought it up. permalink fedilink source parent [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago (1 child) Ohhhh it's just private donors guys, it's fine.

The way people are complaining about this happening just sounds weird to me. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago Yeah, but didja see how he owned the libz? I might not have clean air, clean water, health care, food, shelter, or a job with dignity, but I get to fly some Chinese junk with Taco's name on it! permalink fedilink source parent [–] aarch0x40@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago Well, their SNAP and Medicaid haven’t been cut yet. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago They know they'll be an emergency.
