Maybe it's just me, but if the president can fire them at a whim and replace them with whoever he wants, they don't seem very "independent."
Right now, everyone is terrified of the actual President, Stephen Miller.
Mr. Trump is just a loudmouthed figurehead with dementia that runs interference.
When no one will hold you accountable. There's nothing you can't do. Nothing is illegal. Trump has fired thousands of people he had no power or right to. All because Republicans are fascistic sycophantic enablers.
very true. Compare this, to what's happening in the Fed; Trump is having issues removing multiple figures and being challenged in court.
If we come back from this, we need to codify so many more rules and create significantly more independent bodies so another Republican doesn't do this shit again.
I don't see us coming back from this with the system we have in place.
The upsides are that trump and his cabal are idiots. Yeah they do have a lot of resources, and power, but they don't know how to wield it well, or they let their egos makes important decisions.
Will we come back from this? Idk, but their stupidity will be our only saving grace.
Idiocy is pretty standard for fascism. Previously it took outside forces to de-nazify governments, but I don't see that happening with the US.
Republican
And we know they would be the problem, that's for sure. Democrats tend to practice decorum and decency, sometimes to a fault.
You noticed that too, eh? It's almost like he doesn't want independent thought.
Arc de Trump? He's a bigger parody of a dictator than the movie The Dictator.
He didn't call it that, the media did. But yes, he is.
So what will he call it? The Heroes of January 6th? Jeffrey's Birthday Arc? Big Beautiful Arc? Whatever it will be called, I'm sure it'll be made out of plaster but the invoices will say marble.
.......
...Arc de Trump...
Misspelling of Epstein Ballroom
Two different things. There's the Epstein Memorial Ballroom and the "Arc de Trump".
Oh Misspelling of Arc de' Epstein. Gotcha.
definitely no triumph there
If you guys ever get another Democrat president, you better rename it to the Obama ballroom and the Arc of trans rights
Even a Democrat won't be able to rename the Epstein Ballroom.
Fuck that shit, we should tear down the ballroom, restore the East Wing and send the Trump criminal family the bill.
Only correct answer. Auction off the chairs and tables and cutlery then burn the building down. Ask the Canadians for help. Nuremberg all the accomplices and demolish any remaining opposing monuments. Erase them from history. Learn your lesson from past mistakes or mercy. Do not give them an inch.
I'd rather turn it into a hall of immigration assistance. Hire tons of people that work on getting people citizenship quickly and easily
And make all the bathrooms gender-neutral. With some Toadstool-themed things in the urinals and toilets. In honor of our "favorite" president.
Stephen Miller, Russ Vought, etc are loving dementia donnie playing with this shit while they run the full on fascist takeover
Because they're both too fucking weird and angry to ever be elected by anyone. Just parasites riding the shark.
I can’t wait to see the arc de trump get the same treatment the Lee statue in Richmond got back in 2020.
more aligned with … ~~America~~ Trump First Policies
If that arc gets built…. I will piss on it.
At this point I hope this is all just ai slop. Please tell me this is some stupid hallucination?
Nope. This is reality.
Maybe it's a simulation. Maybe our entire existence is AI hallucination slop. Maybe "trump as president" is the "hands are wrong" of some higher being observing this universe and dismissing it as fake slop.
Maybe when you die, you'll just see GAME OVER and remove a VR headset and rediscover that you've just been a weird squid monster at your local arcade killing 20 minutes while your spaceflight was delayed.
"Dude, high score!"
"timelines" or some shit
Breh.
Blips and Chitz!
Are you sure?
In the context of a lived experience yes.
This isn't hyperbole it's reality verbally
I sure hope he draws up plans like they do in Spinal Tap, and that is the "arc" this asshole gets. Along with the dancing dwarfs.
Hmm, did they disagree with his plan for a lady justice statue on hands and knees on top of his own monument?
Ofcourse trump is the greatest in knowing anesthetics for buildings and should be considered the bestest authority on artistic design, looks at all the trump buildings he designed himself, no one else can do that!
"Why won't you just emboss the swastikas like I asked, you terrorist anti-facist?! Get a new one!"
