    Sounds like a big indicator that he probably shouldn’t have monuments

          Only a stopped clock is guaranteed to be right twice a day. A clock could run just a little bit slow or fast and it’ll rarely be right.

          Not the one in my car. It slowed about 1 minute per 2 months.

          I stopped changing it for daylight savings to see how far off it would get, driven rarely as it was, and the answer is that it seems to be internally maintained even when the car is off because even months I didn’t drive contributed to the lag.

        Only vote for candidates that say they will.

        If that doesn’t work, break the system that doesn’t serve us.

        He’s not. He’s doing it because he thinks nobody will literally build monuments to him. Not because they think he’s an asshole, but because he thinks no one BUT HIM will be able to do it.

        He’s a narcissist through and through. Taking things into his own hands because it’s the only way he’ll maintain power and control.

      I don’t know, but my 2 yaers old does this too: “you NEVER let me have chocolate!”

      So in my head I see Trump also saying “NOBODY will ever build me a monument” while pouting, crossing his arms and wiggling his shoulders back and forth for emphasis.

      My partner is a clinical psychologist. She says this is one of those lines that gives away a patient’s narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis. Because a narcissist never feels about themselves how they need others to feel about them.

            Tango was saying that it’s sad that people probably will, in fact, build monuments to trump after he’s gone. You said that makes you happy rather than sad. ddplf was asking if you meant what that sounded like, i.e., that you were happy some people would still be sincerely celebrating trump after his death.

              Misunderstood the question or sentence structure. I mostly skim. To reiterate, trump bad There should be no glorifying of the degenerate pervert.

                I figured that was probably it. At the point I commented I didn’t see your other reply; you may have written it while I was composing mine. I was just trying to help explain the conflict.

    Not only nobody will build monuments for him, I genuinely hope the Dems have the balls to tear down every stupid little shit he did. And seizing Trump tower and turning it into rent controlled housing would be the cherry on top. Also, turn Mar-a-Lago into a public park and name it Biden Park

        That’s genuinely way better.

        Frankly, Biden should not be memorialized either. He and the idiot fucking brain trust that is the DNC/DCCC were the ones who gave away the Republic to these kleptocratic fascists. My fury at him and Harris and the rest of the party establishment that enabled the second orange regime to win a second stint is, shall we say, not small. They did like, what, 20-30% of things reasonably well, and then just didn’t fucking pay attention to anyone but their fucking consultants for everything else, and that entire class of MBA fuckwits is famously sycophantic and Duning-Kruger-esque.

      I’d like to see him live just long enough to watch everything he did get undone.

      Sadly, I don’t I’ll even live that long.,

      Any of his properties should be seized, any of those named after him should be get rid of and renamed.

      Including this building.
