Rid us of this pestilence.
About the comnents: I wasn't lamenting to a higher power. It was more a statement to those who could make this happen.

(13,202 posts)Its deliberate destruction of our national heritage. The AI video of him spraying excrement over protesters and our major cities is not just a vulgar expression of his anger over the protests. It is the embodiment of his hatred for the American public and his wish to immure us in his shit because it makes him feel powerful and less like the demented jerk he is. I do not think we will gave a functioning country by 2028, and the landscape of DC will be unrecognizable because once he has built his ostentatious ballroom, he is likely to destroy structures on the National Mall to build monuments to himself. Im sure he would love to demolish the African American Museum and everything in it.

If he melts away tomorrow, Vance becomes the public face of the same problem.

Perhaps we can put Trump in exile someplace. Maybe on the moon? Our space program could accomplish that, right?

(4,948 posts)Trump's last straw with me was during his first term when he increased the national debt to give trillions to the richest people in the US and gave peanuts to the rest of us.

(6,084 posts)However, there is something about this project that has really struck a nerve. After the amazing No Kings protests this past weekend, it is ironic to have this happen two days later. Do we think that maybe this was planned all along as a gigantic FU to the nation? It made me physically ill and was more than a little offensive to me and really was like the final straw.
Is there nothing that can be done to stop the madman? I am serious. What will it take to end his reign of terror on us? Will Congress continue to sit on their hands? This is no time to just debate what needs to be done, Action is required.
