Democrats if they ever get the white house again: "Well, we better keep the plaques. We don't want to upset them."

And that’s basically it!
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “The plaques are eloquently written descriptions of each President and the legacy they left behind. As a student of history, many were written directly by the President himself.”
Lmao
That she can say that with a straight face is truly impressive.
But she only has smug ~~bitch~~ fascist face
Edit: changed to a more gender inclusive term
Probably not that hard with all the botox.
What can't trump do?!
It's so fucking infuriating they all treat him like he's capable of doing anything.
"He took great care, and used his best crayons. Mr. Putin even put one on his refrigerator. "
We have people with the mentality of spoiled school children leading the country.
That’s people born into wealth for ya.
When I read shit like this I think of Trump tearing down the East Wing. He didn't do this personally. Multiple people had to agree and execute.
For example; I managed a reprographics shop. We would have flat refused to make signage such as these plaques. Not because management was woke, we simply wouldn't handle toxic messaging. Somewhere in DC is a shop that said, "Fuck it, the money matters more than morals." Same for the demolition company.
I was a park service employee when this administration began and the back breaking speed everyone bent over and let Trump have his way was disgusting.
I'm talking entire HR departments working fucking COMP TIME (not even OT) just to make sure their colleagues are fired as quickly as possible. Like damn policy allows you to take up to 3 sick days no questions, call out and let people have a few more days of pay.
Everyone with a conscience in leadership instead of trying to resist just resigned day one. The rest fell in line.
I was disgusted and disappointed
What, are these people twelve?
I know plenty of 12 year olds with more class than this.
This is childish and petty.
I am so fucking embarrassed to live in the USA.
what a petty, little bitch
And the pettyness is obvious even to maga - I love it haha
the issue with maga recognizing it is they relish it. that's what they're here for. they think this is what it means to hold the elite accountable: sending mean tweets, being a petty bitch, lashing out omnidirectionally.
where trump is losing people, and i'm starting to really see it in my community, is his claims that america has never been more affordable than it is today. you can lie about why you're going to war and the dangers posed by people racists don't talk to, but you can't lie about the price of bread. you can't hide that. everyone can tell if the cost of living is getting better or worse. they can tell because we're all living it
How, and I'm serious here, how can this thing get voted in? And how did it happen twice?
You'd have to be fucking moronic to the point of being a dribbling idiot to even think that this orange thing was not just a huge piece of unusable scum!!
I get a lot of hate on Lemmy every time I post this, but I genuinely think American voters don’t like women.
I will piss on his grave when given the 1st opportunity.
It will be heavily guarded or hidden. It will literally be defaced in the first hour. I will dance on the day of his death. The entire world will celebrate his Demise.
Dude’s a frail and frightened little failure of a man. Everthing he does is a result of pure cowardice.
Basic dictator.
Must be an onion ...
Not the onion ...
What?
This has to be one of the most petty and insignificant acts of trumps this year...
What kind of fucking fanfiction is this whole thing. Satire truly is dead.
Also
California Governor Gavin Newsom, no stranger to mocking Trump online, slammed the stunt.
Stop "slamming" and similar terms because they fucking mean nothing
I think we need to get more graphic not less.
"Newsome DOUBLE SUPLEXES president and VP in latest witty tweet. World leaders RIOT NAKED in response."
Epstein deadline is tomorrow, right?
Gotta throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.
Misdirect, misdirect, misdirect
This has the potential to be very very funny.
I think it should be taken as a precedent, and every successive administration should start writing bitchy little propaganda plaques. Instead of a photo of Trump, we could have like an old moldy orange. Or we could have photos of sad war orphans for other presidents, some scathing political commentary, it could be great. Not at all disrespectful to hang on the wall, this seems fine. Let’s goooo!
When the orange turd dies or otherwise is out of office, we should just remove his plaque entirely and pretend like he never even existed.
the democrats would never run anyone who had the balls to do that. it would be too 'mean'.
but if such a candidate did get to run, they'd probably be incredibly popular.
What a lil bitch
The eating of trumps ass by his maga moron is out of control. They named renamed the Kennedy center. Who memoralizes themselves while living? Dictators. Only Dictators do this shit. My family is lost to his nonsense. There isnt a single free thinking person in my family anymore. Dad mom, brother all lost to his bs. Wake up America, im begging you, before he takes all your rights away
Oh that's good that means that when Trump is dead they can move one of them and then they have a spare.
There's a lot of talk about whether or not there should be some age limit on a president and they're probably should be, but I think that also needs to be a maturity test. Trump has a level of pettiness normally reserved for teenage girls in badly written YA novels. Imagine being the person that had to make those plaques and then put them up, you'd feel like a prat.
We used to punish kids that did petty shit like that.
Anyone trying that hard absolutely knows that they are the problem, and are desperately, desperately trying to deflect.
I’m so fucking tired of being governed by god damned jr. high schoolers.
On the one hand, this is absokutely juvenile. On the other hand, why are Americans so obsessed with displaying and counting past presidents?
I hope the next Democratic President strolls through the White House with a staff trailing behind taking notes, as they point to various things and say: "Take that down, destroy that, replace that, all THIS shit has to go, tear that down, arrest him, him, her, and him, burn that..."
They're gonna have to fumigate the white house and remove all the child pornography first
This is Ethan Klein levels of petty
Social media and media aggregation has promoted trolls into places where they're stuck sucking their own dicks to shock people, while also being incompetent leaders and managers.
Don't worry, if I ever become president, I'll have any pictures of Trump edited to show his true colours by replacing him with a Russian flag since he's Putin's lap dog.
Trump's plaque should contain the aepstein files
