Building an opulent ballroom while making sure millions will lose their homes, go without healthcare, and starve? This sounds like the last days of the French monarchy.

[-] [email protected] 62 points 5 days ago

It's actually just a distraction. The real corruption is the 5 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires and the 1 trillion in healthcare cuts for Medicaid to partially for it. If you're talking millions you're being distracted.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Even fucking billions don't count for much any more.

Yeah in case you haven’t realised he doesn’t give a fuck about you.

This is going to be news to some USAians.

Lib. "Crony capitalism" is not a thing. It's just capitalism. There is no form of capitalism that doesn't involve cronyism, that is just the natural conclusion of private ownership.

I agree with you 100%, and Marx was very clear that capitalism is filled with theft and oppression. It's nice that Marx also at times rested his critique of capitalism abstracting all the crony-ness and analyzed capitalism with 'good intentions,' showing that even without the oppression/theft it's a failed system.

edit: misread!

He is planning on never leaving. Or he wouldn't bother. He doesnt do things with foresight unless FOR himself.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

This is just to distract you from him being a pedo

The scary part about the ballroom is that he wouldn't be building it at the WH if he expected to be out of there in 3 years. He'd be building it at Mar-a-Lago or something.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Serious question about his supporters: Are they cool with this? Like, hey a $200 mio. ballroom at the white house is exactly what I voted for.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Who knows. I know there is a rift that has started within MAGA, over the Epstein stuff. I predict there will be no MAGA as it stands by the end of this reign of Trump, siting incidents like these with the ballroom, Zionist, pedos and more to come. Trump isn't worried about anyone, especially this term, as it is with all the presidents as they concentrate on their legacy (ego,) not their constituents, and campaign promises. The working class that voted for him will equally get a wake up call by terms-end, a come to Jesus moment.

Aka regular capitalism

Need all that room to play hide and rape the kids.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

I'm surprised it'll be in the white house and not in mar-a-lago

[-] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago

He doesn't plan on moving out

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

You didn't read the article I guess. There is already one at Mar a Lago.

It also says he and donors will pay for it. Does anyone believe that I wonder.

Is it to celebrate the release of the Epstein files?

[-] [email protected] 25 points 5 days ago

I would think this guy was being so over-the-top cartoonishly evil on purpose just to get us to grow a spine and rise up to overthrow the corrupt government if we were actually growing a spine and rising up to overthrow the government.

It won't happen, under Capitalism, they have a large part of the working class, PMC class, walking on a salary vs debt thin edge, too afraid to change anything because their world would fall apart. It is a devious plan and it works, prevents them from grabbing pitchforks, and often even attacking those that are trying to rise up against the oligarchs.

One of the new episodes of Gumball has the answer to this. I never thought I'd see a kids show so blatantly just say it... EAT. THE. RICH.

No, no, no. He and his buddies are going to pay for it! They all just came into an unexpected windfall when a bunch of poors decided they didn't need their healthcare anymore!

"Crony" what a bullshit word. Lol

Hrm. Throne room under a different name.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago

Noo, Trump. You forgot that your ~~palace~~ seat of government needs to be outside of the city so you can have even more control over the ~~royalty~~ totally democratically elected politicans by making them kiss your rancid rear while being out of their offices. You already have the make-up part & ridiculous hair-do down so well.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

I misread that as "bathroom" and kinda belived it for a second...
