I have expressed hope and confidence that this will be restored. What's wrong with that? Is it "too soon" to be optimistic and look forward to the possibility of something good?

>> I'm sure you don't mean to downplay the fully justifiable outrage...
Then why why would anyone make that kind of backhanded accusation of they were "sure" that's not what I'm doing. I'm not downplaying anything, thank you very much. Am I expected to be in a hair-on-fire state of rage 24 hours a day? I can't live my life that way, and it's unfair for anyone to expect me to.

I expressed a hopeful outcome for the future and for my efforts I get a passive aggressive wet blanket thrown on me. Nice. I don't deserve that.

Perhaps consider focusing on the issue that should unite us — Trump's intentional destruction of all that came before him in the People's White House, rather than on your colleagues expressing outrage as a result. It is NOT about YOU.

Actually, "life is too short" to treat people like shit for offering hope and something to look forward to... rather than for failing to measure-up to an acceptable amount of nonstop rage. How strange it is, to me, that any effort to imagine a better future is to be considered as "diminishing" the current rage of others. Even weirder is the notion that in being hopeful that it will be restored to its former glory, that I'm advocating for anyone to "replace history." Following that logic, one could argue that the grounds of Jackie's Rose Garden should just be left as it is. After all, it's history... it happened... it'll never be the same, so why bother, eh? Please.

Lastly, it's unclear why anyone would try to pretend as though it's nothing, or claim that they didn't mean it, or to be dismissive as if it's all my imagination, or to say that it never happened. I'll remember that too.

HOA's are the bane of most people who live under their by-laws and covenants. I think a lot of very disagreeable people purposefully decide to live in an association just so they can be pains-in-the-butts of everybody else.

Besides, who would be the other members of this exalted HOA? Past presidents?

The "Camelot" era still carries memories of elegance, grace, and class. He'll never be similarly regarded, and he knows it. His obliteration of a universally appreciated hallmark is just one more pathetic tantrum.

Many times after regime change, the chisels came out to remove any visage of the former Pharaoh.
I don't want to see his mug shot next to President Biden's on the wall of Presidents.

He demeans everything we cherish including Jackie's Rose Garden.

Those changes get tossed along with the flagpoles and all the gold crap.

I thought the Historical Preservation people would have a say in any changes. After all, presidents come and go, but it's still THE PEOPLES HOUSE!

If he can hurt others in the process, it's a bonus for him.

Just like the fool he is,
history has no meaning,
any lie, every lie,
is a lie,
His MAGA, is his domain,
his dominance built on lies
so craterous as if it were
made by an indecent
foolish would-be king
concocted by tropes
they all say Con concocted
by shamelessness
and ill will.
No matter any religion,
if there is a God,
he is the vile anti-God
and without any
exaggeration!
