Watch now | As inflation rises, rent remains punishing, overdose deaths stay high, and war spending continues, the Trump administration has chosen to unveil a 250-foot triumphal arch in Washington.
I love your reminder to us that monuments are a regime's way to make themselves look grand and make the people feel small.
I commented on another post that I've travelled around this traffic circle many, many times - where the arch is to be placed - and the circle is already a death trap. It is horribly designed, frantic, unregulated, with too many entries and flyoffs, speeding cars, drivers confused and in a hurry. This disgusting arch will block the drivers' views of traffic threats even more than the speeding and confusion already do, Trump will likely be thrilled by this, and want to read the death toll there each day.
In order to see the irony in this you have to be an older American. McDonalds hamburgers, McTrumps favorite food, had humble beginnings. Back when it started it's logo was two "Golden Arches". I remember them when those arches actually held up the roof over the little walk-up hamburger stands. You can still see them symbolised on their sugns. So don't be surprised if McTrump decides to build two golden arches. 😁🤣
The Strait of Hormuz is still shut. The last tankers are completing transit. In a couple of weeks the developed world starts shutting down, including the US.
I hope so. And I hope it moves our people to take back our government! Also, Why oh WHY is Trump begging to start WWIII. I don’t want it! WHO in their right mind wants it??? Can we put those people on a boat to China and call ahead with their location and thank China in advance for ending those people??? He’s blockading a Straight that is closed so he can hurt us, but China may feel that pain a lot more. No, no, no… I want no problems with China. Their leadership is strong, their tech is excellent and … look, I could list reasons not to mess with China all day long. The US needs to stop acting stupid and handle our own problems. I would say “quit while we are ahead”, but we aren’t ahead and we have everything to lose!
"Decorate and Distract" exactly, that all it is. The Americas war campaign against Iran, Epic Fury, has become an obvious Epic Blunder. President Donald Trump has something to had behind but this war with Iran ain't going nowhere fast.
Ever heard the phrase, “you, shut your wh*re mouth” that’s what goes through my mind EVERY SINGLE TIME he says or does anything against China. I know these arches aren’t about China, but I’m going off topic. We need to leave the straight alone it isn’t ours. We do not want or need to make trouble with China. Trump needs to STFU with every single thing he’s saying and doing and go crawl into a hole and rot.
Truth! I wish people knew history better here in the US. My generation may be the last to have learned any of this.
When an empire begins to waste time and resources bragging about how great it is that is a sure sign of decline and fall. Thank you.

Perhaps May Day is when Trump leaves office.

I wish I cud see how this ends 🤯

Sure build his grotesque golden arch. Then there will be a fitting place to hang him for TREASON
