Jesus Christ, I am so fucking tired.

Fascist dictator says "Das muss gebaut werden!"

RIP Kingdome!

I didn’t realize appropriations were so open ended that you can go back a century to find something that was never built as an authorization to spend today’s money.

"We the People" officials have said that it can be torn down upon Trump removal!

Imagine standing before a Judge w/ this as an "argument", then having to produce actual documentation of said argument & claiming it's set some sort of precedent.

Originalism at work.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Once again centering the lie instead of the truth. Fuck you.

Good jobs program- tearing all this gaudy nazi-esque shit down when he's just a bad memory.

Ffs🤦🤦🤦

GODDAMMIT THIS MANIAC HAS TO BE REINED IN.

If elected President in 2028, I'm using the same loophole to build a massive statue of The Goddess Lilith made with gold and the best obsidian

nevertheless no $ has been allocated by congress for it

Don’t they have to get building permits from the city council?

Well, if the "precedent memorial" building was more than a century ago (ca. 1926), there wouldn't have been any zoning regulations (i.e., Euclid v. Ambler Realty). Euclid changed a lot of things recently building regulations.

but they still have to satisfy Arlington County's land use regulations, i.e., zoning, use statutes and obtain a building permit. My guess is that there is a height limit per zoning that the arch exceeds.

No pile of petrified dog shit is buried too deep for them to dig up.

Everyone MUST run on tearing it down. Damnatio memoriae

Just like Hitler, Trump fancies grandiose building projects glorying himself.

Just lock up his diapered ass.

Cmon. What fucking triumph are were memorializing. A Letter of Intent with Iran?

I’m old enough to remember when the Post was a reputable newspaper.

The Bezos tabloid Post says words

Never mind the ballroom and the ceremonial arch, when will the White House announce plans for construction of the Trump Mausoleum to house his embalmed remains for all eternity…just like Lenin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, the Kims, and, at least for a time, Stalin and Eva Peron. All the best people.

So what’s new? This criminal enterprise does what it wants and the Republicans won’t say a thing. And the Washington Post capitulates to what ever Trump wants also.

Pls someone stop him! It’s an insult to those buried at Arlington and will be a traffic nightmare!! I use that road & scared I’ll get rear ended w bikers&joggers. Can’t imagine more people in that traffic circle climbing to the top for a view. Dangerous & colossal waste of our money

For a guy who contributes zero tax dollars he sure does like spending the money we contributed.

The next Democratic Gov't is going to have to spend a helluva lot of money tearing down the ugly schit that Donny plans on putting up. To finance it they can melt down all the gold-painted gewgaws he has in the Oval Office…

From the Department of We Can Do Whatever the Fuck We Want…

Yeah, no, there’s no 101 year congressional appropriation money.

Don't worry. Congress and the Courts will rediscover their backbone when a (D) is in the White House.

the late jeffrey epstein, once donald's best friend, raped children-- does this mean trump will now go hang himself?

Who’s paying? Taxpayers? Needs congressional approval.

He's such a class act. Mussolini had to make do with some tawdry lamppost situation.

Laser focused on high costs. Thanks Trump voters. You really nailed this one.

You may as well just disband Congress at this point.

It will be a 250-foot public urinal.

Trump can kiss my arch 😘

bsky.app/profile/chri...

And he's defying a judge's order?

💯. It starts with not nominating anyone with even a whisper of centrist bullshit

Better be 95% done already

Sounds like they're trying to build a monument to creative accounting 🤔

How does it feel to have helped make this happen, Posties?

Can he do it with the same amount of money that was earmarked for it?

USA is going to be covered in Trump's shot, it will cost billions and take a century to remove and redress. Totally self-inflicted, the voters were warned. Can I laugh already or I should wait a bit?

Drones?

Why can’t he work on healthcare?

Mike Johnson is officially the biggest shit eater ever to hold the Speaker's gavel.

another charge! prosecute! convict! imprison!

Absolutely ridiculous this is where we are

I am so sick of these scofflaws. They can't follow the law for the smallest things, let alone this garbage project.

Live look of monument using original budget

Let republicans pay for it then or their dark money PAC. The American taxpayer is not a piggy bank and does not approve! All of this is republicans fault! Weak, greedy, and corrupt!

TRUMP DARES CONGRESS TO STOP HIS ILLEGAL ERECTION.

Back on the phone with my worthless Senators. But I will keep calling until they get it. No. No. No.

No effing way!

This is very Stalin-esque. The revival of the Monkey Wrench Gang will take care of this monstrosity in short order.

WaPo could just say Trump Using Questionable Precedent to Build Illegal Structure

Of course they will. This is the same court that cited 14th century English common law to overturn Roe.

Horse shit. A post office cannot be named without an act of Congress.

Golden Arch?

Start a lawsuit and stop the madness. It's all about him and it shouldn't be. Tell him to build it on M-A-L land. He can look at it all day when he retires. OR build it outside the prison he'll retire in. Make him use his little hands to build it himself.

Tyranny

In another country, these actions would get a leader branded as a despot, an authoritarian, a thug. This is where we are. Too bad WaPo’s owner is too busy sucking up to Donald to give a shit.

this is unconstitutional and will fail

bsky.app/profile/char...

then I suppose there will be no Congressional approval needed to tear it down. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to reading the graffiti.

I keep wondering: Who are the contractors, etc., agreeing to work on these demented projects? If they are operating illegally, they should be held accountable. Also, Trump stiffs workers, fyi to all you freaks out there who still wanna work for him.

Nothing a stick of dynamite can't solve

Ooh ooh can we have lead in our gas again?!

It's fine. People are going to have build this thing and theyre gong to make prevailing wage. I have zero problems with these ridiculous projects. Theres probably even some local labor requirements that hes not even aware of that will be a boon for DC Labor.

This is all so stupid, and for many (like you, WaPo) there is no coming back. Once you’ve tied your lot to Trump, like Bezos and the rest of the billionaire class and media moguls, you might as well wear a scarlet letter. When this is over, none of them are welcome in polite society.

We need to make sure this arch is torn down on DAY ONE of the next presidency. We need to wipe trump out of our lives out of the country and out of our history. He's a monster, he's a crook, he's a felon and he's a disgrace to the united states and the world. We want no memory or trace of him.

Trump doesn't give a s***. He's going to be 80 and polls and magas don't matter to him. He wanted to be rich because he couldn't achieve it on his own because he was a failure. But he succeeded in embezzling taxpayer money. THAT WAS HIS GOAL. Once a crook always a crook. Once a felon always a felon.

Republicans are fucking scam artists. How do you see these kinds of headlines and continue as if it’s business as usual? Money does not erase the shame you bring upon yourselves and your family.

The moment he's gone or dead, whichever comes first.

Again

How can I put this.... THE FUCK THEY CAN!

Once we get rid of him, we need to pass a law that any expenditures over $100K need to be approved by the AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to have a 250 foot high bucket full of turds?

Can we get a refund on the GOP congressional salaries? They’re the majority and they won’t hold votes on wars, buildings, agencies, money for traitors, etc. 🤬

I will take great pleasure in seeing every edifice Trump has erected in his impotent name demolished when he is finally gone. Trump's onanistic monuments need to get the same treatment as Saddam's statues.

Or as it will be known, The Urine Target.

Breaking news Jan 21, 2028: The 250-foot DC arch is rededicated as the Obama/Biden Welcome arch, a beautiful site dedicated as a permanent home for immigrant naturalization ceremonies

The gold statues of Trump on the Arch will be impressive

No, he'll just collect more bribes like he did for the ballroom.

I'm reminded that the Washington Monument was authorized to have a Pantheon-like base with columns.

About THE TRUMP ARCH… Trump wants to build a vanity project that is a 250 foot arch with his name on it. If it does get built, you can count on that being the most vandalized structure in the world. People will travel hundreds or thousands of miles just for a chance to pee on it. Just sayin. 😎

Sure, let’s go with that. But they have to build it for the amount of money that was authorized a century ago.

Why the fuck am I paying taxes? Ballroom bunkers, ego arches, wars, pedophile’s salaries, rip off after ripoff to billionaires while we get nothing but poisoned water and bills.

Authoritarians trying to break a (mostly) democratic system. They have certainly made a lot of progress. Should have been stopped over 10 years ago.

WTAF

Can he count to 250 at this point?

Go ahead and try it. I swear to god we will bulldoze this fucking thing.

Remember when Republicans used to ostentaciously carry pocket Constitutions and whip it out any time they thought Obama was doing any borderline executive overreach? Where did the Constitutional Conservatives go?

If this is ever built we should put a giant statue of Barack Obama on the top.

I'm not paying these fascists to read this. Why wasn't it built?

Waiting for Trump's Column with a heroic relief depiction of Jan. 6 spiraling up the side.

Bingo. It's the only fair way.

Why is he trashing the DC like this? What’s next old refrigerators at the entrance to the White House and cars up on blocks?

fuck no, Bezos Post

No one’s gonna get approval to blow it to smithereens, either.

Like the Voting Rights Act

What’s the point of congress then?

They are, as usual, incorrect.

I am actually demanding, as a litmus test, every Democrat running for the Presidency in 28 to vow to blow this up on day one.

WTAF!

The Arse de Trump

Have we thought about NOT paying taxes for a minute and see how that goes? Have the states that have money thought about it? We in #MS, a deeply red one, depend on the fed govt for money so count us out on that one.

Let him build it along with all the other shit he wants his name on, then when he’s gone tear it down in the most spectacular way-broadcast it nationwide so no other wannabe dictators get any ideas, dump the whole lot of the crumbled debris at all his golf courses around the world and Mar-a-Lago.

Absolute BS.

The next administration can then blow it to smithereens without Congressional approval.

Did these same lawmakers approve tearing down the East Wing?

No better than those dictators who had to build monuments to themselves back in history to include Stalin. What happens when they are overthrown? Those monuments are pulled down by the people. NB Mr Trump

WTF

They think they are so slick.

Why would they? They haven’t sought approval for any goddamn thing so far. Nor will they.

Those don’t matter. The courts are corrupt and illegitimate.
