Hrm. Throne room under a different name.

[–] theparadox@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Better to get upset about a stupid ballroom than any other, more damning issue in the current news cycle that the current administration might prefer you forgot about...

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 13 hours ago

"Crony" what a bullshit word. Lol

[–] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah in case you haven’t realised he doesn’t give a fuck about you.

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 3 points 13 hours ago

This is going to be news to some USAians.

So, I've been going through making profiles for everybody, starting with Jeffrey Epstein, and generating a new, connected note when I see new information (Obsidian). I'm running with the hypothesis and framework that "The Establishment" is a real criminal enterprise. What I've found seems to be five branches, ranging from finance to intelligence, all interconnected. Two prevalent philosophies beyond greed and power: Christen Zionism and Transhumanism. Basically, it is a big coherent effort by lots of individuals and agencies with like goals. Trump, I call the disruptor. Basically, Trump seems to be so full of himself that he thinks he can take on the system AND be a dictator, from what I've gathered (189 profiles, including individuals, agencies, events, timeline, doctrines)

Serious question about his supporters: Are they cool with this? Like, hey a $200 mio. ballroom at the white house is exactly what I voted for.

[–] crankyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

Who knows. I know there is a rift that has started within MAGA, over the Epstein stuff. I predict there will be no MAGA as it stands by the end of this reign of Trump, siting incidents like these with the ballroom, Zionist, pedos and more to come. Trump isn't worried about anyone, especially this term, as it is with all the presidents as they concentrate on their legacy (ego,) not their constituents, and campaign promises. The working class that voted for him will equally get a wake up call by terms-end, a come to Jesus moment.

They’re going to find some amazingly gaudy things when the people finally storm the palace in twenty years or so.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Which they’ll then confiscate to give to The Church, who will be our new overlords 😔

Crony capitalism is just capitalism

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Unpopular thing to point out in libertarian spaces.

Better cutting something else

Building an opulent ballroom while making sure millions will lose their homes, go without healthcare, and starve? This sounds like the last days of the French monarchy.

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 63 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's actually just a distraction. The real corruption is the 5 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires and the 1 trillion in healthcare cuts for Medicaid to partially for it. If you're talking millions you're being distracted.

Even fucking billions don't count for much any more.

Pedo ballroom

[–] drdalek@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He is planning on never leaving. Or he wouldn't bother. He doesnt do things with foresight unless FOR himself.

[–] urandom@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is just to distract you from him being a pedo

I'm surprised it'll be in the white house and not in mar-a-lago

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You didn't read the article I guess. There is already one at Mar a Lago.

It also says he and donors will pay for it. Does anyone believe that I wonder.

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 2 points 13 hours ago

donors

USA tax payers, probably.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Well, of course. Just like Mexico paid for the wall.

[–] CheezyWeezle@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

He doesn't plan on moving out

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can bet construction companies arw going to fuel that money into mar-a-lago projects

[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 1 points 13 hours ago

You're assuming that the construction companies will be paid

[–] appropriateghost@lemmy.ml 59 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He's seriously going full force on the Midas Touch.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago

The scary part about the ballroom is that he wouldn't be building it at the WH if he expected to be out of there in 3 years. He'd be building it at Mar-a-Lago or something.

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)
  • will be paid for by Trump and unidentified donors

lol like that fat ass will ever pay for anything with his money.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

Unidentified donors, also known as taxpayers.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 2 days ago

Is it to celebrate the release of the Epstein files?

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Oh, another "look at me, I'm fucking y'all raw and nobody ~~can~~ will stop me"

Need all that room to play hide and rape the kids.

Shocker. Russia 2.0 in America. Nice job voters.

I misread that as "bathroom" and kinda belived it for a second...

[–] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I mean....have you seen the price of a good faucet lately?

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I would think this guy was being so over-the-top cartoonishly evil on purpose just to get us to grow a spine and rise up to overthrow the corrupt government if we were actually growing a spine and rising up to overthrow the government.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

i think that's actually his plan. proof to the blue states that the right to secession and state's rights are valuable. this way he pleases his texan voters.
