as the world burns, Preznit Fuckwit blithers about Corinthian columns

also: more No Kings coverage

everything continues to totally fucking suck right now.

billions of dollars are being flushed down the toilet in order to wage an unprovoked, unnecessary and illegal don’t-you-dare-call-it-a-war on Iran. masked and armed government thugs have invaded the streets of our cities and are literally getting away with murder. corruption is off the charts. gas is unaffordable. food is unaffordable. airports are a nightmare. Congress is useless. the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled press are useless. Republicans are trying to screw with our system of free and fair elections.

with all that going on, it’s reassuring to know that Mad King Donny remains laser-focused on the one issue that really matters.

“this is a view of the columns as they are going to be made. they’re going to be hand-carved and they’re beautiful. top of the line. they’ll be Corinthian, which is considered the best, most beautiful by far. okay?”

holy shit, this demented jackass brought visual aids with him onto Fuckface Force One.

welcome to Dear Leader’s latest moronic obsession. he’s decided that the columns on the facade of the White House are too boring, and he wants to completely redo them.

there goes two hundreds years of history, shitcanned with barely a moment’s forethought, to please the trashy aesthetics of the diaper-shittingest piss-baby ever to crap himself in the Oval Bordello.

for fuck’s sake, the White House isn’t Donny’s personal possession. it’s We the People’s House — yet he’s treating it as if it were just another one of his fugly golf motels. who the fuck does this asshole think is? didn’t eight million of us just remind him that he’s not our king?

but why Corinthian columns? is this fucker’s brain stuck in 1988, when Ricardo Montalban convinced us all that fine Corinthian leather was most awesomest shit ever?

not at all. you’ll be completely unsurprised to learn that Donny chose Corinthian because they’re the gaudiest columns.

they’re also the columns that adorn his tacky Florida golf motel, because of course they are. here’s the interior of one of Motel-a-Lago’s ballrooms.

did you catch that? not only is there a big gaudy Corinthian column inside the damned room, the walls also festooned with the same gold spray-painted tat with which he’s covered the Oval Bordello.

this dumbfuck wants the White House to be completely remade as a tackier knock-off of the already-tacky Motel-a-Lago. that’s why he bulldozed the historic Rose Garden and replaced it with the Epstein Parking Lot™ — and then installed tables and umbrellas identical to the ones at his Florida golf motel.

I shit you not. here’s the White House.

and here’s Motel-a-Lago.

it’s all so stupid and unnecessary, but what else is new?

here’s why Donny got his knickers in a twist and felt the need bring visual aids aboard his flight back to DC last night.

the New York Times committed a genuine journalism and got actual architects to explain why Donny’s changes to the exterior of the White House are poorly-thought out, mystifyingly senseless, and just plain fucking ugly.

it’s a pretty deep dive, touching not only on what’s going on with the White House right now, but also explaining how for over two centuries, federal buildings in DC have been carefully planned to fit into the overall aesthetic of the city — and how Donny is just shitting all over that grand tradition.

The hurried reviews, with construction cranes already swiveling above the White House grounds, are an abrupt departure from how new monuments, museums and even modest renovations have been designed and refined in the capital for decades. And the ballroom will be worse off for it, architects warn.

it’s quite a fascinating read, if that sort of thing floats your boat.

but of course to Donny, there must never be any criticism of Dear Leader, and he worked himself into a such a Big Mad that he just had no choice but to create an infantile scene aboard Fuckface Force One.

who does this?

it’s all so eternally goddamned childish and embarrassing. we’re trapped in the dumbest fucking timeline with dumbest fucking president.

We the People can’t afford to live, and Donny Antoinette is is all ‘let them eat columns.’

can we just talk for a moment about just how clownfuckingly stupid Donny’s own personal Fred Flintstone is?

Jake Tapper: “right, but if President Trump had the power to pay TSA agents this whole time, why only start doing it now?”

Tom Homan: “look, I don’t understand— I’m a cop, I don’t understand the whole, y’know, appropriations law.”

‘I’m a cop and I don’t understand law’ is Peak Homan. it’s just about the most on-brand thing he’s ever said.

Tommy Homan, he don’t know anything about no laws — but I’ll bet he could tell you exactly how much a sack with fifty grand in it weighs.

you know what? fuck all that noise, because I’ve got information, man. new shit has come to light.

here are some images that I didn’t see in time to include in yesterday’s No Kings 3 wrap-up.

in Chicago, protesters in front of Trump Tower beat the shit out of a Donny piñata.

if you don’t feel like clicking through to watch the video, no worries. I’ve giffed that shit for posterity’s sake.

‘not today, Spraytan’ in Pullman, WA.

‘you suck at golf’ is funny because it’s true.

fact check: also true.

we are all Aunt Tifa.

Bill Nye the Protest Guy showed up at the Arlington, Virginia No Kings event.

oh look — it’s legendary film director John Waters at the Provincetown No Kings.

here’s one the dumbest fucking things ever: wingnuts have convinced themselves that No Kings was funded by George Soros and a bunch of random commies.

so let’s once again remind everyone that we’re happily doing this shit for free.

which brings us quite smoothly to our heroes of the day: these four hardy souls who organized a protest in Antarctica — giving the world a No Kings event on all seven continents. well done, everyone!

have a great Monday, folks.

here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.

this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:

practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.

to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.

we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
