It’s hard not to see this in the context of the video of Trump shitting on America, and seeing it as yet another example:

Trump apparently had “promised” to just add on to the White House, not to demolish part of it. And of course there are a million rules about how this should have been done, but here were are.

Anyway, I think this will upset people. It’s an ugly picture of an ugly process that will yield an ugly result.

As a side note, the Washington Post apparently reported this first and called it a “scoop”. I mean, people in the media, this is simply something happening out in the open and just because you saw it first doesn’t make it a “scoop”. Jesus.

The following has more-or-less nothing to do with the White House being destroyed, but after watching the New York City Mayoral Debate, I found Curtis Sliwa a weird combination of reactionary yet knowledgable. Plus he hates the right people. Here’s his response to Bill Ackman’s call for him to drop out of the race:

It’s a good answer, and he’s a decent politician. I don’t agree with most of what he believes in, but simple declarative sentences and a message you believe in goes a long way.

I larnt young to become unmanageable when physically attacked. A well placed kick to the nads, or a common heavy object nearby to use as a weapon, or becoming a whirling tasmanian devil, etc. Mediocre white men were no match. And Black men feared The Taz.

Today's essay on becoming unmanageable hit home.

Let me tell you what this means in practice. It means when they threaten, you do not calculate whether the threat is credible. It means when they promise consequences, you do not weigh the cost of resistance against the cost of compliance. It means you speak as if you are already free, as if the power they claim over you does not exist, as if their ability to punish you is irrelevant to whether you will tell the truth.

This drives them insane. Because their entire system depends on your fear. On your calculation. On your willingness to manage yourself to avoid consequences they may or may not actually impose.

My hope is that the electrical, plumbing, and structural work done by the lowest bidders who know they'll get stiffed anyway malfunctions like on those military bases built in Iraq.

Zzzzzap goes the microphone and sound system, causing massive electrocution in the ankle deep sewage leaking from subpar plumbing while a wall caves in.

Treasury Tells Employees Not to Share Photos of White House Ballroom Construction

From the WSJ Treasury employees can see the demolition from their offices - the Trump cultists ordered them to unsee it

I’m the least nostalgias person on the planet and I cringed when I saw it. Hopefully this will break thru

Today is the stupidest day in American history. A record that will be broken each subsequent day.

Even that video was forgettable. And I watched it just ten minutes ago.

I gave it some thought.

When I read about Sliwa doing vigilantism by "Guardian Angels" in NYC I was impressed. I was barely 14 y.o. at the time, easily impressionable, and my parents did not shield us from some of the scarier parts of NYC when we'd visit. So I thought that was a good idea in my not fully formed mind. Now everyone wants to be an armed vigilante and ICE has a problem recruiting people who can pass the easiest physical exercise test ever. Texas has even passed bounty hunting laws. Thanks Curtis, you fucking fuck.

Here's a good message:

Immigrants are not criminals, but the "President" is.

I miss when the Great Pumpkin was a character who never showed up in the patch, not a malignant cancer in the White House we can't get rid of.

Here's a message I strongly believe in by americanpatriot at Bsky

"Just a reminder that a guy who trafficked underage girls, Matt Gaetz, ousted McCarthy to replace him with Johnson who is actively protecting a guy who raped underage girls, Pedofelon Trump.

If none of this smacks a person in the face…they might be a pedophile. Just saying."

Laura Bassett to Johnson & Comer at Bsky:

"See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue."

Someone needs to say that to them during questioning. Posed as a question "Can you understand that..."
