I gave up about half way reading through all that; The dude sounds like one of those crazy conspiracy buffs and religious nutjobs who tries to make everything in the world as sin;

Hang on, isn't there some kind of arcane law that says nothing can be taller than either the White House or the Capitol Building? Or is that a myth?Why stop there? Trump needs to rail against the catholics all day. Take all of their funding. Or worse, make them pay taxes.Trump administration funding cut threatens future of Catholic Charities program for migrant children in Miami
Church officials say the sudden loss of funding could force the organization to end its operations tied to migrant children within three months.

What's wrong with dismissing them? They are nobodies. If they were somebodies they either wouldn't have been on that island, or they would've been there as guests.
Nice, but I still feel this is a more appropriate designTrump's giant gold-accented victory arch design for Washington DC moves forward
The new monument, if approved, would be taller than the US Capitol building and the Lincoln Memorial.
No, that's a myth. There is a 1910 law that limits commercial buildings height to the width of their adjacent street plus 20 feet, generally limiting building height to around 130 feet, but since the arch is not a commercial building, it does not apply.
In a way, there's no greater way to demonstrate artistic and creative bankruptcy than to copy someone else's 200-year-old monument, just bigger. What would be genuinely interesting is to put forward a design competition with a blank slate, and see what people come up with.Trump's giant gold-accented victory arch design for Washington DC moves forward

Well, l'Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is not the only triumphal arch in Paris. There's also l'Arc de Triomphe du Caroussel and la Grande Arche de la Défense. And under no circumstance should Trump have less than the surrender monkeys, now can it?
Triumphal arches are Roman, so the French were themselves copying, although a gap of 1000+ years is better to pass off as homage rather than crass imitation.
Hence also all the renaming stuff after himself, one of my favorite being the US Institute of Peace. Which is now the DJT Institute of Peace, tho the institute it's supposed to headquarter is effectively defunct. Since it's a nice building, it's now an event venue for Trump et al. A much better use than some prattling on about peace.
If they want to appeal to Trump, they'll use white marble and gold leaf, since that's his crass definition of "style". It's why he's been turning the White House into a McMansion.
Every US president should follow his model, and go round naming everything after themselves, put their faces on currency, demanding judges and legislators obey them. I suggest they could also do away with that fusty old title of "President" and use something with a bit more grandeur and authority. "King" sounds good. Maybe "Emperor"?
I wish any prospective Banksy luck, as I would expect no small number of armed Trump supporters just drooling over the chance to "dispense justice" nearby.
I can't be the only one who is thinking that he is intending this to be his tomb. Right?Trump's giant gold-accented victory arch design for Washington DC moves forward

The US' economy had one of the best recoveries of all the first world countries post covid. Even before Covid struck Trump had already thoroughly fucked up the US economy to the point that people were expecting a recession to hit by the end of 2020/early 2021, Biden was dealt a horrible hand inheriting a Republican torpedoed economy that then got doubly fucked by a pandemic. Considering both things Biden's administration did a great job course correcting the ship.
Counterpoint to all these lies about US economic woes: the S&P 500 has never been higher. Check! Mate!
I'm not interested in yelling at people. I'm more curious about how people reason. What of Harris' pitch was it that you thought sounded much more horrible?
