I support actions by the next administration, even though they will likely be expensive, to clean up and reset all of this ridiculous nonsense that we’re seeing now.

The only way I accept this is if the cost a long with total cost of its construction is taken from the military budget.

The monkey paw curls. The military gets defunded to pay for the reconstruction of the White House. ICE budget and spending is still through the roof.

The 2026 midterms will be telling. If the Democrats don't mop the floor with the GOP, we'll know it was corrupt. MAGA can only lose numbers, no one new is coming onboard. Trump won by the skin of his teeth on the national popular vote, and that's how state elections are run.

But in no case will we abandon elections. Russia and North Korea have elections, we will too. :(

I'm thinking that even if they want to knock the building down, they could at least part it out. Look at those windows in the wreckage pile! I'm sure there are dozens of small museums around the country who would love to have an authentic White House window to show bored fourth graders on field trips.

Or, gild them and hand them out as party favours to your donors, as would more befit the architect.

When the Wall was torn down, Leonard Bernstein conducted and recorded a performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony as a dedication to the reunification of Germany.

When it was released, the record company sent a small tchotchtkie to the classical music buyers at all the record stores/chains - a wooden stand with a piece of the Berlin Wall glued to it. I've seen a lot of little gifts for buyers to entice them into ordering an album, but I've never seen buyers more excited than they were for this one.

The point of the ballroom is to remind us whoever lives there is the first estate.

And the rest of us (over 98% now) are the third estate and don't get a say in political affairs, even as we starve and die to plagues.

That's when the story starts getting familiar. 🪟🔪🫅⚜️

Next Democrat president (if there is one) withholds aid to red states and uses the money to rebuild the East Wing and Rose Garden exactly as they were before the rapist got his rape hands on them.

It's blue state money anyways.

Back during the peak of the 51st state shit and all that there were US citizens saying “damn I guess you gotta come put us out of our misery, huh?” and it’s like no, ya’ll need to clean up your own messes. Canadians won’t come fix their shit because it’s not our problem and they’ll never learn if we have to keep propping them up and keeping them safe from consequences.

Prolly depends on climate, I do fuck all for mine, they blossom beautifully and are like 2.5 metres high at this point. One year I cut off the fruits (idk the English word for them) in the winter and got even more blossoms for very little work.
