And I am sure it'll reflect Donald's exquisite taste... it'll probably have TRUMP in gold bricks somewhere.

And where's Congress in all this? Where are the fucking Democrats, or have they sunk to being completely fucking irrelevant?

[Abernathy]

If Trump’s second term as president has demonstrated anything, it is what, in myriad ways, is wrong with the USA’s political system and constitutional arrangements that needs fixing urgently.

No president should be permitted on a whim to wreck a huge part of the presidential residence in order to build a fucking outsized gold ballroom.

No president should be elected via the absurd, anachronistic electoral college system.

No president should be able to issue presidential executive orders and pardons like fucking birthday party invitations.

No president should be presiding over the continuance of the second amendment to the constitution that directly enables the mass murder of mostly students and school kids with assault weapons almost weekly in that country.

No president should be permitted to run for office who is a convicted felon that incited a violent coup against the USA’s seat of government and sought to overturn the result of a free and fair election.

The core issue is the political appointment of the judges who are intended to oversee the 'checks and balances' and the election of those who should be appointed on merit and experience, not political allegiance to administer justice.

That and the fetishisation of an 18th century constitution.

The United States is founded on legal constitutional checks and balances but a nation can never be fully protected against a would be tyrant with a popular democratic mandate.
How long before Britain slides into 'managed democracy' if Farage becomes PM with a convincing majority?
And there isn't even a rump of good chaps in Reform who will place democratic norms and conventions before the dear leader.

A squeaky tank and lynchings?

So far the only official things I've seen planned are MMA cage fights on the White House lawn.
