Wonder what he’ll add to this exhibit next

I hope the next Democratic President strolls through the White House with a staff trailing behind taking notes, as they point to various things and say: "Take that down, destroy that, replace that, all THIS shit has to go, tear that down, arrest him, him, her, and him, burn that..."

They're gonna have to fumigate the white house and remove all the child pornography first

Anyone trying that hard absolutely knows that they are the problem, and are desperately, desperately trying to deflect.

We used to punish kids that did petty shit like that.

This has the potential to be very very funny.

I think it should be taken as a precedent, and every successive administration should start writing bitchy little propaganda plaques. Instead of a photo of Trump, we could have like an old moldy orange. Or we could have photos of sad war orphans for other presidents, some scathing political commentary, it could be great. Not at all disrespectful to hang on the wall, this seems fine. Let’s goooo!

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “The plaques are eloquently written descriptions of each President and the legacy they left behind. As a student of history, many were written directly by the President himself.”

Lmao

That she can say that with a straight face is truly impressive.

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 41 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

But she only has smug ~~bitch~~ fascist face

Edit: changed to a more gender inclusive term

Remember his remarks on Gettysburg? Truly, a student of history.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 11 points 1 day ago

"Gettysburg, wow—I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch. And the statement of Robert E. Lee, who's no longer in favor—did you ever notice it? He's no longer in favor. 'Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.' They were fighting uphill, he said, 'Wow, that was a big mistake,' he lost his great general. 'Never fight uphill, me boys,' but it was too late."

-Donald J. Trump

Democrats if they ever get the white house again: "Well, we better keep the plaques. We don't want to upset them."

Oh that's good that means that when Trump is dead they can move one of them and then they have a spare.

There's a lot of talk about whether or not there should be some age limit on a president and they're probably should be, but I think that also needs to be a maturity test. Trump has a level of pettiness normally reserved for teenage girls in badly written YA novels. Imagine being the person that had to make those plaques and then put them up, you'd feel like a prat.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Not only that he is clearly fucking demented. Anyone with any experience with dementia patients can tell you that.

Lol the orange turd calls Biden the worst president in history, while Biden is the best president we've had since Obama.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 49 points 1 day ago (8 children)

How, and I'm serious here, how can this thing get voted in? And how did it happen twice?

You'd have to be fucking moronic to the point of being a dribbling idiot to even think that this orange thing was not just a huge piece of unusable scum!!

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 day ago (12 children)

I get a lot of hate on Lemmy every time I post this, but I genuinely think American voters don’t like women.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Biden won as an old white man. Harris lost as a younger non-white non-man. Policy virtually the same.

It gets a little hard to deny.

We have people with the mentality of spoiled school children leading the country.

And when the orange turd dies or otherwise is out of office, those plagues should be removed and one of them re-added below the Trump portrait calling him 'the worst President in American history' and 'divisive'

When I read shit like this I think of Trump tearing down the East Wing. He didn't do this personally. Multiple people had to agree and execute.

For example; I managed a reprographics shop. We would have flat refused to make signage such as these plaques. Not because management was woke, we simply wouldn't handle toxic messaging. Somewhere in DC is a shop that said, "Fuck it, the money matters more than morals." Same for the demolition company.

I was a park service employee when this administration began and the back breaking speed everyone bent over and let Trump have his way was disgusting.

I'm talking entire HR departments working fucking COMP TIME (not even OT) just to make sure their colleagues are fired as quickly as possible. Like damn policy allows you to take up to 3 sick days no questions, call out and let people have a few more days of pay.

Everyone with a conscience in leadership instead of trying to resist just resigned day one. The rest fell in line.

I was disgusted and disappointed

Dude’s a frail and frightened little failure of a man. Everthing he does is a result of pure cowardice.

This is the tiniest of tiny pp energies

I hear it is a strange, tiny, mushroom-shaped thing.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yeah, just super weak.

President: "Look at me! Look how big I am!"

Everyone: "That's nice dear, finish your juice"

The fact that FIFA made up some fake award and the doddering fool glowed like he was a toddler given a prize for doing poopy in the potty, none of this is shocking.

Always disappointed, never surprised.

I will piss on his grave when given the 1st opportunity.

[–] H3mp79@lemmy.today 43 points 1 day ago

It will be heavily guarded or hidden. It will literally be defaced in the first hour. I will dance on the day of his death. The entire world will celebrate his Demise.

What, are these people twelve?

I know plenty of 12 year olds with more class than this.

Man what a thin-skinned little bitch
