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

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 3 hours ago

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

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 2 points 7 hours 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.

Crony capitalism is just capitalism

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Unpopular thing to point out in libertarian spaces.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 10 hours ago

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

He doesn't plan on moving out

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 57 points 1 day 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.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] drdalek@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 1 day 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 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

This is just to distract you from him being a pedo

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

[–] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 93 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

Lib. "Crony capitalism" is not a thing. It's just capitalism. There is no form of capitalism that doesn't involve cronyism, that is just the natural conclusion of private ownership.

I am to please. (unless you are bourgeoisie then I aim to do a different thing but I still aim).

[–] appropriateghost@lemmy.ml 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I agree with you 100%, and Marx was very clear that capitalism is filled with theft and oppression. It's nice that Marx also at times rested his critique of capitalism abstracting all the crony-ness and analyzed capitalism with 'good intentions,' showing that even without the oppression/theft it's a failed system.

edit: misread!

Is it to celebrate the release of the Epstein files?

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 day 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 27 points 1 day ago

Unidentified donors, also known as taxpayers.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 38 points 1 day 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.

There is no ethical capitalism

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hope it accidentally burns to the ground

[–] folaht@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I hope it doesn't........

I'd rather see it burn to the ground deliberately.
