I don't much care about trump damaging the East Wing of the White House [View all]

It’s a building. On the list of nearly-sacred and beautiful things that his occupation of the presidency is destroying, it hardly even rates a mention.

US superpowers too numerous to mention have been undermined, sold off in secret deals, or trampled for the fun of it.
Immigrant families have been blown apart using destructive, racist gestapo-like tactics. Some of them died.
Children traumatized by ICE.
Innocent (that’s what people are, until ‘proven guilty’) guys in boats murdered by the most powerful country on the planet, as if they were ants to be flicked off a log.
Partnerships with allies dating back 80 years or more betrayed.
MAGA turned into unthinking zombies, ready to betray anyone or anything for their cult leader.
The Supreme Court acts without shame to prop up the oligarch party.
A lapdog like Mike Johnson…? Really?
Anxiety and stress, family disruption, and fear sits like a suffocating blanket over the lives of probably 100 million people or more, due to Trump’s actions, inside the US alone. Ticking time bombs are pervasive.
Elections will worsen (hard to believe it is even possible), due to gerrymandering, lack of accountability, and likely the destruction of the VRA.

When Obama left in January 2017, the grace of the presidency gave way to a gaping black hole of a man who values nothing but himself and his money. It became occupied by all “id”. Four years of reprieve under Biden were temporary relief but not a thorough disinfectant, and the mold on the walls is simply growing faster.

At this point, if he wants to tear the White House down entirely, let him. At least it would be very visible, and the sleeping nitwits might start to question their choices.

“Conservative”. What a joke that word has become.
