    Isengard after Saruman’s fuckery vibes.

    Hopefully we get the equivalent of the Ents sorting things out. And I’m fine with Trump meeting the movie or book end that Saruman met.

      Unfortunately hunting the uruks down afterward will be difficult as they’ll just take off their hats and claim they never liked Saruman.

    Note that the “Before” picture is after Trump paved over the Rose Garden, so it’s even worse than that.

      i want to agree with you, but having the seat of state be a plantation house is a wonderful reminder of the country’s (i know so many statesians want to say former and maybe 20 years ago i’d have agreed with you i was a bit more of a dipshit but fuck that) ongoing shame.

    The White Trash House. The MMA arena is the equivalent of having a couch on the lawn.

      i mean, having a couch on the porch is really nice. it’s just getting one that can stand the elements, or having one that can’t be covered, or blah blah. don’t knock lawn couch til you’ve tried lawn couch. i mean it’s still not as comfortable (or nasty) as fuck couch, but it’s still pretty nice.

      i have a rescued, rehomed, and quadruple steamed fuck couch and oh dear gods it is hard to stay awake on that thing. it’s like a cushion roofie.

    It took me a minute, then I figured it out.

    I showed my partner with no context and she said “what is this, it looks like it was bombed” I just said “White House” she gasped.

    Dude really ruins everything he touches uh. Including young girls. That you can get so filthy rich not being able to do anything right is a testament to how backwards our society is.

      I’d change the punchline to “Including young girls’ *childhood”. Although I agree that is a bit cumbersome, still. Might need a larger refactor if we want to preserve the specific wording that Donald Trump touches young girls.

      Not calling you out, but highlighting diction. In any case, the original sends the impression that sexual assault diminishes the victim in some capacity, which is not a very prosocial spin.

      Don’t let anyone tell you being a comedian is easy.

        Don’t let anyone tell you being a comedian is easy.

        my dude, i’ve spent many, many hours workshopping and rubber ducking jokes with comedians far better than me. it’s why i keep reusing the same jokes, like any good shit comedian i stole half of them. but i’ve never seen anyone say “hey, your joke needs some more work” to someone they didn’t know better than you did here and i just wanted to give you a little verbal hug.

          Thanks! Honestly, I spent about 10 minutes writing that previous comment because I wanted to avoid being unnecessarily aggravating.

          I’m so anxious about communicating clearly that I’ve planned and workshopped giving suggestions myself. And I’ve found the best way is to put yourself on their side so that your advice feels like you’re both going in the same direction. As opposed to butting heads or stonewalling the person you want to help. And that means actually understanding what someone is trying to do (because, if you don’t, you just sound arrogant and misguided when giving advice about something they don’t want).

          I didn’t do that there because the intent of the joke was likely what it appeared to be

    As a visual metaphor for what MAGA have done to America, this imagery is so blunt that if you used it in a movie you’d be called a hack.

      Let’s be honest, the next president would just say oh what can you do and continue to use the data center they’re building underneath for monitoring civilians. Much like how nothing changed after Snowden

      They’ll just say it’s helping them with national security threats

      Let undocumented immigrants earn citizenship by contributing 100 hours labor to dismantling anything he did. It would all be down in no time. Of course, that’s assuming he ever actually builds anything, which is pretty bold.

          I see it more as a symbolic gesture than the value of the work. Lets new Americans contribute something good for the country while giving them a small personal investment in its history. Multiply it by several thousand volunteers and it should be all the labor that’s needed.

          I just think it’d be fun to have immigrants tear down trump’s vanity projects and get citizenship by doing it. A double fuck you to trump and republicans.

    There are mandatory drug tests in many, even rather irrelevant jobs. Time to include President, Cabinet, and their staff in that list.
