How about those Epstein files?

    It's wild how he's turned his immediate surroundings in Washington into this living metaphor for his chaos and senility. Half the whitehouse is torn down, there's a circus attraction on the front lawn, the rose garden is a slab of concrete and the reflecting pool has become a swamp. Nauseatingly stupid, yet astonishingly predictable; predictions that when they were first made were called hysterical and deranged...

    The dumb part is not that this orange idiot wanted to do all this.

    The dumb part is that there is a large team, a huge organization, an entire community of people and professionals that enabled him to do all this and make it all possible. Everyone keeps pointing fingers at the deranged mango clown show, but people seldom think about the production crew that keep him in power and enable everything he wants to do, no matter how stupid it is.

    Algae, and now the paint is peeling. Could not be more emblematic. Didn't solve the problem, and inarguably made it worse.

    Can we get back to the trumpstein files please.

    Who fucking care about 15 million pool.

    War, genocide, allied war crimes, cabal of billionaire pedophiles.

    Piss in the pool.

    The pool is news because it is a very understandable and approachable subject. Most people believe they could handle a pool, and if it turns out trump can't even manage a pool (with all the power of the government at his disposal), then some of the MAGAs finally start thinking that trump may not be Presidential material.

    You think at this point that these people can think rationally?

    Yeah, these people are fighting an epic battle of good and evil and logic is aligned with the evil forces.

    Talking to some of them, there seems to be a belief that even if everything looks like it's going horribly wrong, then that must be a sign too that the plan is coming together differently than they thought...

    It's really fatalistic and tied up in the prosperity gospel/American mythos/calvanism. This can be a real shorthand for "everything is how it's supposed to be because God controls the minutia of our lives so how about a thank you." It's how they whip the rank and file voters.

    The irony is that

    And of course it has to be some diabolical covert operation orchestrated by "Antifa". It's unthinkable that the 80 year old going to the doctor every 6 weeks made a poor decision about some vanity project.

    Absolutely hold him accountable for such things, but let's not forget the chain of yes-men that enabled it to become an actual disaster. There is room on the wall for more than one person.

    There is only one rule in the Republican party, Trump is infallible.

    My wife's aunt is a MAGA hat surgeon. She informally recommends Ivermectin to people to treat any number of illnesses. She doesn't prescribe but tells them where to get it online.

    All because the leader cannot be wrong. Ivermectin must be a wonder drug even if it was useless for covid.

    Sad thing is it’s not a poor decision - he gave a lot of taxpayer money to a friend and almost certainly got a nice little kickback himself. It’s a bad decision if you assume he gives a fuck about the pool. But not if you think he only gives a fuck about enriching himself

    The guy that was supposed to drain the swamp is building a new one.

    It perfectly sums up Trump and this administration. They do not know how to build. Only destroy.

    Trump set out to accomplish the renovation that has eluded previous presidents in late March. In a post on Truth Social, he criticized the Biden administration for not taking on the project after a $34 million reconstruction effort under President Barack Obama proved to be unsuccessful.

    I somehow feel like there was another person between that didn't do anything... 🤔

    Now this actually is a distraction from the pedophilia and warcrimes. Rather than warcrimes being a distraction from the pedophilia, or vice versam

    A doddering, ranting idiot surrounded by sycophants who will kiss his ring as long as the money and privileges keep coming. Meanwhile we have a spineless congress and a disconnected supreme court.

    Slapping a shitty coat of paint over a complex and long-standing problem and claiming it's fixed is an apt metaphor for the last 250 years...

    Might want to indent each word one more time if you meant it to be read vertically.

    On topic, considering how many people are sick and/or dying under both Trump admins, a lot of Americans are actually being made green.

    We should call it the Epstein pool to make sure pool paint doesnt get more news time than raped and murdered kids.
