Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Yeah, it'll look just great when it's done though. Really fit in with the aesthetic.

They call a peaceful protest nation wide the "Hate America" rally after paving over the rose garden with checks notes concrete, and are now literally destroying the white house.

Got it.

Dictator gotta make his mansion the way he wants, it's part of the gig

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

I wonder if Trump will just stiff them like he did when he was in real estate.

I just can't imagine him being ok with paying contractors for work.

But it could be if it just "accidentally" disappeared.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Oh, Trump will pay them, with donations from his rich pals and most likely public money. Wherever the money comes from, it won't be from his pocket.

You don't really believe he'll put a cent of his own money into that boondoggle do you?

[–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I doubt it. Every dollar he pays is one he can’t keep.

Wikipedia has an entire list of corporate donors for the new ballroom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Wing#2025_demolition

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't see the list. Just that this company is the contractor for the new Epstein Ballroom.

Soo..crypto scams and scammers, Amazon, Comcast, and palantir. just some of the worst folks around.

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

All the negative reviews have already been removed by google. They currently have only 4 reviews.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Of course it did. Google is a fascist collaborator. Just like all the other Big Tech companies.

That's the very definition of Fascism: it comes from the world "fasces", which is Latin for "bundles", describing industry and the state working together in cahoots.

Their site currently claims to be under construction. Or have they been demolished?!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 weeks ago

Next their webshite will be a room full of balls (I assume that's what is getting erect over the rose garden?).

Run by a republican donor, I bet. And whoever builds the new structure will also be one.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

With kickbacks to Donald, of course.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They should never be allowed to work in the industry again.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

When the regime falls, it is my hope that they and companies like them are put in front of a judge to explain why they agreed to help the fascists destroy the nation and its treasures.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 2 weeks ago

Lol that was a good laugh! Thinking capitalists will punish their own. Peter Thiel raking in government contracts after admitting openly he is hostile to the state and wants to destroy America shows you how fucked we are.

It's interesting how quickly & fervorously people will defend private capital from the smallest of infractions.

In this case it's just bad reviews, a form of peaceful public protest, the company will still earn a lot of profit.
Worst case is other customers might not want a gov contractor.

But yeah, "companies must do anything for max profit" is a systemic religion.

Google gave 20 million to the project.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd imagine those reviews won't stay up very long then....

[–] DannyMac@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Nope, I don't see any recent reviews.

[–] dogs0n@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

*youtube did because of an unrelated lawsuit they settled.

Not sure if it was settled by paying the money spwcifically for the building? Thats weird, I would assume goes to trump and he'll use it for the building. Idk weird.

www,google.com says "Could not post the question"... Censorship in real time.

company name change incoming

[–] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Definitely. It's just a LLC, they'll dissolve it and start another once they finish.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (7 children)

I love the sentiment, but Trump's sycophants will simply contact Google and all those negative reviews will disappear.

Edit: They're already doing it

The company’s rating dropped at one point to 1.8 stars, until Google revised it to 4.1.

Actively participating is not complicity.

[–] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Call them and tell them yourself.

Removing review bombs is automated. This happens every single time a business gets negative attention. And every single time people still do it anyways.
