Pedo ballroom
I misread that as "bathroom" and kinda belived it for a second...
I'm surprised it'll be in the white house and not in mar-a-lago
He doesn't plan on moving out
Crony capitalism is just capitalism
Shocker. Russia 2.0 in America. Nice job voters.
He is planning on never leaving. Or he wouldn't bother. He doesnt do things with foresight unless FOR himself.
Is it to celebrate the release of the Epstein files?
Building an opulent ballroom while making sure millions will lose their homes, go without healthcare, and starve? This sounds like the last days of the French monarchy.
It's actually just a distraction. The real corruption is the 5 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires and the 1 trillion in healthcare cuts for Medicaid to partially for it. If you're talking millions you're being distracted.
- will be paid for by Trump and unidentified donors
lol like that fat ass will ever pay for anything with his money.
Unidentified donors, also known as taxpayers.
I hope it accidentally burns to the ground
Lib. "Crony capitalism" is not a thing. It's just capitalism. There is no form of capitalism that doesn't involve cronyism, that is just the natural conclusion of private ownership.
Came here to see this
I am to please. (unless you are bourgeoisie then I aim to do a different thing but I still aim).
I agree with you 100%, and Marx was very clear that capitalism is filled with theft and oppression. It's nice that Marx also at times rested his critique of capitalism abstracting all the crony-ness and analyzed capitalism with 'good intentions,' showing that even without the oppression/theft it's a failed system.
edit: misread!
Amen, to that! ☝️
Then why did you call it that lol
I like to blatantly call it out for those that are still struggling with it. I understand for those like us, it is redundant.
That is not only not helpful but actually bad. You're just muddying the waters.
The communists disdain to hide their views and aims
You are doing the opposite of blatantly calling it out you are reinforcing those who may be still struggling to understand in their assumption that this is the "bad" capitalism and leaving open the idea there is some sort of "good" capitalism.
The scary part about the ballroom is that he wouldn't be building it at the WH if he expected to be out of there in 3 years. He'd be building it at Mar-a-Lago or something.
He's seriously going full force on the Midas Touch.
The Midas grab
always has been, you can see pictures of his properties, tacky as fuck

Communist January 6ers in the ballroom in 2033:
Need all that room to play hide and rape the kids.
Will there be a plaque saying this ballroom brought to you by the death of sesame Street?
Trump's version of "Let them eat cake."
A real opposition party would be screaming "class divide" from the rooftops, but we all know the Democrats are no more interested in raising class consciousness than the Republicans.
There is no ethical capitalism
Oh, another "look at me, I'm fucking y'all raw and nobody ~~can~~ will stop me"
We should. It would be less painful to somehow coordinate everyone to DC than it would be to just live these next three and a half years. I dont want to know what we will be by then at this pace.
That's why i crossed "can". I know he can be stopped.
Last time i checked, he's not Invincible ( read it silently, like in the animation opening )
Aka regular capitalism
One of the new episodes of Gumball has the answer to this. I never thought I'd see a kids show so blatantly just say it... EAT. THE. RICH.
I haven't seen any of the episodes in the years. But considering the creator of the show is French. If there ever was going to be one, it would be his lol.

I would think this guy was being so over-the-top cartoonishly evil on purpose just to get us to grow a spine and rise up to overthrow the corrupt government if we were actually growing a spine and rising up to overthrow the government.
It won't happen, under Capitalism, they have a large part of the working class, PMC class, walking on a salary vs debt thin edge, too afraid to change anything because their world would fall apart. It is a devious plan and it works, prevents them from grabbing pitchforks, and often even attacking those that are trying to rise up against the oligarchs.
Noo, Trump. You forgot that your ~~palace~~ seat of government needs to be outside of the city so you can have even more control over the ~~royalty~~ totally democratically elected politicans by making them kiss your rancid rear while being out of their offices. You already have the make-up part & ridiculous hair-do down so well.
They don’t call it a Gilded Age for nothing
No, no, no. He and his buddies are going to pay for it! They all just came into an unexpected windfall when a bunch of poors decided they didn't need their healthcare anymore!
