I don’t usually favor tearing down national landmarks, but in the case of the White House, I’m leaning that way. Hundreds of people who worked there in Mango Mussolini’s Reign of Error™️ watched him commit horrific crimes against America and did nothing. Once inside, any integrity they had vanished, and they enabled his worst instincts. That’s too much greed, depravity, and criminality for one building to hold, unless that building is a prison. Tear it down. #Politics
@MidnightRider True, but other scenes of brutal crimes have been torn down…
@cassandra17lina The dawn of cooperative unity we all dream about is not forthcoming, I wish that reality was different.
@MidnightRider @cassandra17lina
After all this absurdity, i've focused on taking care of what's in front and around me and mine as best, fairly and kindly as possible and hanging around those I see do the same... The news has to be checked/verified. Propaganda is posted as naive questions, so people spread and spin... WTF?
@MidnightRider @cassandra17lina what I meant is that the awareness level is high! at all times. legally...
Interesting. I expect that Republicans also have a list of historic buildings and national parks they want reduced to rubble.
Could certainly reduce the cost of the NPS if we just got rid of all the ones the current party dislikes every time there is a change in power.
@Cosmichomicide @cassandra17lina the government really doesn't pay its debts anyway. It would be cheaper to simply name them after Confederate generals when the Republicans are in power. Or autocratic rulers of other countries
@DavidKMresists @cassandra17lina
Thing is, the White House isn't a symbol of or monument to a particular president or policy or war, it's the official residence of the officeholder.
We wouldn't be erasing his presence, we would be acknowledging he was powerful enough to get us to destroy things just to destroy them.
@Cosmichomicide @cassandra17lina like Melania did to the rose garden.
@DavidKMresists @cassandra17lina
And Reagan took down Carter's solar panels and Melania turned the basketball court into a tennis court and Nixon put in bowling lanes.
The residence can change for petty reasons, but poor taste shouldn't doom the thing. 😂
Sounds like a big overreaction to me. Not enough to try them in court, we need to BURN DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE?
Thomas Jefferson was arguably a rapist, he was certainly a slaveowner.
Shall we blow up the Jefferson Memorial and raze Monticello, too?
@cassandra17lina No. There were 44 presidents before him. Punish him not them and not us.
@cassandra17lina I understand the impulse, but it's not a building that regulates the fortitude of humans.
