Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I would love a scenario where this asshole is just aware enough to see Democrats revert every single one of his stupid fucking vanity projects in just a few short days.
All that tacky gold shit - have crews ripping it down and record all of it. Same with anything else associated with this piece of shit.
Make it go viral. Like that picture of Bondi in the trash can.
Most of all I cannot wait to see those banners of his ugly scowling mug torn down.
Same but "decorum" is still high on the Dem leadership's standards.
Some of it I agree, some of it seems like a waste of resources to reverse. Paying a contractor to rip out the stuff a contractor was paid to install for no reason other than “trump did this” seems almost as dumb a use of funds as the original project.
Then we take the funds from something like ICE and point that out. Explain that we would not have had to do this if the Republicans (and by implication, the idiots that vote for them) had enough balls to restrain this stuff in the first place.
I’m more for taking the money away from ICE and putting it into social safety nets. It makes no sense to me to turn around and re-re-model just because trump did it, washing the tax dollars that could actually be used to help people.
Feels like a massive waste of money, and all to thumb your nose at idiots who won’t even realize what’s going on in reality.
Restoring any amount of dignity to our government is worth the cost, I would say.
This. That asshat should not get to permanently lift his leg on everything public and we just have to sit there and look at it for decades after.
Fuck that noise. Taking his name off of things and/or reverting them should not be very costly.
Not attacking you, but "we'll restore that dignity by dramatically reverting the merely surface-level Trump changes" is exactly what we'll get.
