It’s a good representation of this new regime. Tear down nature and replace it with a parking lot.
A manicured grass lawn is not nature
It’s more nature than what’s there now
Stone isn’t nature? Looks like natural stone to me. It’s ugly AF but both are artifical and have little to do with nature.
Edit: it’s just a joke guys, don’t take it too seriously lol
If you just want to be a contrarian for the hell of it, you’re doing great.
Nothing is synthetic it’s all made of stuff we have here on earth!
I guess a concrete lot is better in your opinion.
It doesn’t require constant watering and fertilizer that leeches into ground water just so you can have perfectly green 2" tall grass fully exposed to the sun that doesn’t want to live there and call it “nature”.
Yeah, for this space that is frequently used to host people or filled with chairs for a press conference, it is better and makes more sense.
The problem is, have you ever noticed how much hotter you are in a parking lot on a warm day than when you are in a park? Well, now those events are happening on a parking lot and not a park. Furniture can be designed to work on turf, or temporary fixtures could be put in place to mitigate the drawbacks of furniture on lawns, but the absorbed and reflected heat will be hard to get rid of. Hopefully this area is small enough to not have a big impact on the temperature there.
I honestly don’t think it looks bad, but I suspect it’s more for Trump to put his stamp on it than anything else, and to erase the efforts of others before him. And I suspect it will be more uncomfortable than it was before.
I agree. I hate Trump as much as anyone else, but if a President I liked did this, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.
In principle, I don’t mind if a space mainly used for events, with chairs placed there often, should be hardscape. It’s not as if lawn can’t be put back there in the future. Lawn isn’t a heritage tree or rose shrub.
To be fair though, the photo makes it look pretty huge as an expanse of paved area.
Yeah, it’s not that he did it per se, it’s the idea that he probably did it because he’s a classless fat troll.
Same with some of his policies; grand scheme of things if they were presented by most other people I’d have little objection, but because they’re motivated by greed, hate or narcissism I don’t want to give the twat an inch.
A good representation of the old regimen, as unnatural as concrete, but at least trying to appear natural
It’s nature…just not “wild” nature.
He’s like a rat gnawing on the wires of democracy and this is the visualization of his excrement. Fucking disgusting.
If only someone could explain why this is happening.
Yeah but the communists didn’t manage it. Far right authoritarians like Putin, Bin Laden, and the heritage foundation did
What ideology they claim to believe in is inconsequential.
Do you think of China as being actually communist?
I don’t.
Russians managed it. No matter what -ism was or is in fashion.
Ok but it was a multinational front by a shared ideology. Sure Russia just wanted us weakened regardless of professed ideology, but there’s a reason putin was more able than kruschev. Bin Laden played a huge role in this though. And the long standing American fascist movement wasn’t being egged on by the 1950s Soviets.
Nonetheless, Trump is Putler’s lapdog and thus Russia has done what Khrushchev said the Soviet Union would do.
And to pretend like those are two completely distinct political entities would be bad-faith at best.

Allegedly Trump has been cultivated and recruited since 1977.
Back then it was the Soviet Union. Back then Putin was working for KGB as an intelligence officer and did so for 16 years, before resigning when Soviet Union fell, to have a political career.
“We call it the Krasnov Strategy’.”
My rats were pretty intelligent and they didn’t shit where they ate or slept. And they weren’t in the Epstein files. So this comparison doesn’t fly at all.
Weren’t in the Epstein files as far as you know.
But yeah I had rats I’d vote for them over trump for anything.
I like the idea that ok that list amongst Clinton and Trump and Prince Andrew is “that guy’s rats”
When this asshole finally dies or goes to jail (please), we might as well burn the place down and start over. You ain’t ever getting the stench out the walls…
Give Canada a call - we did it once before for you guys… 😏
Come on down, the address hasn’t changed.
Can I sign up for this mailing list?
If you’re still offering…
Where’s the sign up sheet? I’ll stand on guard for thee.
Outside the various shitty adjustments he’s making now, we cannot forget something perhaps bigger. Because of him, an enemy state flag (the flag of the Confederacy) was flown in the White House.
you mean this?
No. Though if I got a nickel for every time Trump is associated with the Confederate flag… it’d be a rich man.
I was specifically speaking to the Jan. 6 intersection attack. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/kevin-seefried-confederate-flag-capitol-jan-6-sentenced-rcna69784
That’s the capitol, though, no…?
You know what, you’re right. I must have vaguely remembered both and blended the two stories.
That’s the capitol building though
Or the ketchup.
There’s your problem. All that grass makes for a terrible child sacrifice during their pedo parties. The blood soaks right in and you never get a chance to collect it for the Sangria mix.
Of everything, this is low on the list of things to be annoyed about. While there were probably better ways, this is an area used for gatherings and DC being DC, it is pretty marshy and unusable as a lawn. There have been plans for a long time to do something like this.
More importantly, this will be easily undone later, unlike much of the other damage he has done or plans to do. Compared to those things, I can’t get too worked up over this.
Let the pigs have their mud.
Complains windmills make Scotland ugly.
Proceeds to pave over the Rose Garden.
People: Save the Earth!
Trump: Pave the Earth!
Nothing is more beautiful than polished white marble and gold. Lots and lots of goolllld!
Between this and the ballroom it would be a minor blessing if Canada burnt the place down again.
what was once lush, green, and beautiful, is now a grey, ugly, boring looking stain.
Earth in about 80 years when runaway heating deletes us all and makes Venus 2: Anthropogenic Boogaloo
Looks like a condo roof
Like a tacky outlet mall
Of all the things he’s changed about the country, I bet something like this is what he cares about the most. I can just imagine the tantrum trump will throw when the next president* digs this up and returns it to grass, or better yet, an actual garden.
* if we get another president.
Oh they are all petty twits.
Regan pitched a fit and removed the solar panels Carter left on the roof when he left office. This is just more proof the regressive party has no taste.
If there ever will be a next US president I expect him to first tear down that new gold wing, then to dig up this shit.
Anything else can wait
that new gold wing
Not sure what a motorcycle has to do with this, but I’m referring to the new gold plated wing that trump is adding to the Wilhite house
lol the insignia in the corner, very American
Visually it’s striking how similar it looks to how Nazi Germany also put eagle motif crests everywhere.
i like that the drain grates are American flags… kinda symbolic.
also, this pisses me off, but not as much as his “Goldifying the Oval Office”
It’s actually very fascist but USAian is basically same thing.
Let me guess… these were democrat, woke roses?
Honestly, I’m amazed he managed to restrain himself from making it mostly gold. Can’t imagine that this ballroom will have such restraint.
The cans of gold-colored spray are still around, I’m sure.
Is the Epstein list buried under there?
Just the list
Gross. It looks like an open air mall food court.
