This is all a distraction.
How is the White House grounds doing? Does it still look like a tweaker's house?
Apparently he's decided to build a heliport on the South Lawn.
We're going to need a new White House when this all over.
Could always invite the Canadians over, I'd be happy to burn down the Whitehouse again
i can cater. y'all want sassages or ribs? y'know what let's do both
Put some poutine in the white house instead of Putin
Should smell real with all the painted-over cum and blood on the walls.
Nah, torch the thing to the ground and build "The People's House" on its ashes.
How about just a park
I could have sworn it was technically already a park or something. needs some swings and a slide.
Oh oh oh and the spinny thing, I always loved the spinny thing
I don't know how they could've kept some of the recent rains out of the ruins of the East Wing, so, yeah :(
Our national trap house
But the helicopter can already land there. It's actually super cool - they put out tiny blocks/temporary landing areas about the size of the wheels themselves - and the pilot is so good, they can land without any issues.
Source - I witnessed it from a building across from the Treasury during the Biden administration.
specifically, Lockheed Martin is making a generous contribution to the administration... in the form of an engraved granite landing pad.
How are our public lands doing? Are they being sold to the highest bidder?
They’re literally on fire, if Colorado and much of the west are any indication.
Mamdani derangement syndrome.
Oh please holy shit PLEASE let a few journalists start using this term in their reporting...!
They'd need to either hear it said or think of it themselves, best way to make that happen is to use it as often as you can.
I mean, I heard ODS quite a bit during Obama's two terms. Not nearly enough. I suggest we use it as much as possible for people like Mamdani (and AOC, etc).
(It all started with "Bush Derangement Syndrome", but that never really made much sense, that was just liberals pointing out the flaws of W and it drove people like Krauthammer nuts. This, from the guy that called the Iraq quagmire a "three week war". Yeah, everyone else critiquing such a dumb take had "Bush Derangement Syndrome".)
These are the sacrifices we make so the data centers have enough power to help people write emails
We also need pictures of Trump Jesus and the Obama graffiti plane.
And then read the emails on the other side. Don't forget about that important service. No one wants to read a bunch of AI generated emails.
Lol they did the EXACT SAME THING when I was young, during the Carter administration and the 70s energy crisis, calling Carter a "Communist" because he advised the same type of minimal thermostat management to conserve energy and asked people to wear sweaters to conserve heat. I remember people literally enraged about it, like how very dare he even suggest such a thing.
This is as old as time. They ignore it when the Republicans do it and scream holy hell when a Democrat does it, same as it ever was.
Yep. And the solar panels on the WH were taken down during Ronnie Raygun's historically criminal [1] administration.
[1] I like to remind people at every turn - especially since the cons were/are so keen on getting so much shit named after their hero - that Ronnie Raygun presided over the most objectively criminal administration in history. At least up until Donvict; his second term is not over yet and the evidence is not all in yet, either. Anyways, the conservatives raced to name so much shit after their favorite criminal. Don't let the bothsiderist media and centrists like Obama fool you - Ronnie Raygun was all smiley and such, but he's also the face of Iran/Contra and had more people in his administration: "The presidency of Ronald Reagan was marked by numerous scandals, resulting in the investigation, indictment or conviction of over 138 administration officials, the largest number for any president of the United States."
Americans are such fucking babies. I hope they remember this when the rolling blackouts start, but, they won’t.
~~Americans~~ Conservatives are such fucking babies.
Especially the conservatives among us. I've met plenty of insecure people online from other parts of the world but the level of them is staggering.
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas added, “In a first-world country,
Texas
...
first-world country
Hmmmmm... 🤔
Pretty bold coming from a senator of a state that experiences frequent grid failures and deadly blackouts every summer...
He doesn't remember that because he was in Cancun at the time.
Oh, that's right, thanks for the reminder.
I thought that was the deadly winter blackouts
I've been to over 40 countries. I've also been to Texas. Texas is near the bottom of any development index a reasonable person could formulate.
And I prefer South Carolina or Kansas City barbecue.
I've been to multiple developing countries. And I'd rather spend time in any of those than spend a minute in Texas.
This is like the PSA to turn the water off while you shave or brush your teeth. A little done a lot can add up to something positive. I fail to see what is wrong with a “do your part” mentality as opposed to a “gonna get mine all the time” one.
They aren't freaking out, they are using it. Yeah, all of us here realize that the things they are saying are stupid, but so is the intended audience of their act.
"first-world country"? which one? that fascist cesspool?
Conservatives just say things for the intended result. They don't care about facts or truth or internal consistency. They're like cognitohazards.
rolling brownouts are preferable to being politely asked make a small sacrifice for the good of society
Imagine caring about what these fucking idiots think. Mamdani derangement syndrome.
"One-child policy next" is crazy unless this is an at-least-one child policy.
It's the pedophile party, they mean one child to fuck policy
The pedophiles really want people to make more kids.
Have you noticed they didn't want to force people to have kids they aren't irritated to look after? Almost like they want to create a discussion they can take advantage of
Conservatives are just petty toddlers. JFC.
Fuck it. Crank the AC, turn on every device.
Once the blackouts hit blame the republicans.
I was going to blame them anyway
This is how communism starts; they start rationing things.
Jesse Watters would not be capable of leading a nation through an emergency and it shows
