    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.

      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.

    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.

      We should. It would be less painful to somehow coordinate everyone to DC than it would be to just live these next three and a half years. I dont want to know what we will be by then at this pace.

    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.

      It won’t happen, under Capitalism, they have a large part of the working class, PMC class, walking on a salary vs debt thin edge, too afraid to change anything because their world would fall apart. It is a devious plan and it works, prevents them from grabbing pitchforks, and often even attacking those that are trying to rise up against the oligarchs.

    One of the new episodes of Gumball has the answer to this. I never thought I’d see a kids show so blatantly just say it… EAT. THE. RICH.

      I haven’t seen any of the episodes in the years. But considering the creator of the show is French. If there ever was going to be one, it would be his lol.

        I recommend the new series. It’s a bit more adult. It’s kind of more grown up just like the kids that watched the original are more grown up so far. I’m 5 episodes in and it’s solid. Still retains that same frenetic spirit.

      Is it on purpose that your account has the bot tag on? Made me do a double take, when I saw your comment, haha.
