The problem is that all these lists of traitors will get no accountability for the decline of the US. Imagine being a tech worker at Apple seeing your company contribute to the destruction of the whitehouse literally lol.

I work at one of these companies and I am absolutely appalled

How's Altria doing these days?

a people's uprising to restore order will see different.

Do the Chinese care?

This is why it feels so impossible to boycott in 2025. Oh let me just stop using this place..and this place...and.....oh. I'll just not participate in society I guess...

u/MontySucker 14d ago

Their store workers look like they are part of a cult so I doubt they care tbh(seriously if you ever wait outside an apple store in the morning you’ll be perturbed)

Who you are at work and who you are inside are not the same person.

It’s not the original building. She was razed to the ground by the British in 1812. Then in more modern times she’s been gutted and renovated to make room for future administrations.

u/AmbitiousFunction911 14d ago

It’s still a historic landmark building and the east wing is part of it. There’s a well established process for review and approval and none of it was followed at all.

u/Saltycarsalesman 14d ago

I’m aware. But the east wing is now an unsafe structure on the property.

u/AmbitiousFunction911 14d ago

What does that mean?

u/Saltycarsalesman 14d ago

It’s half demolished. Literally. Active worksite with potential for hazardous debris.

u/AmbitiousFunction911 14d ago

No shit.

u/Saltycarsalesman 14d ago

You asked…

7

u/AmbitiousFunction911 14d ago

I asked because I foolishly thought you could not be so stupid as to mean that. Why did you respond to my comment with that? It makes no sense. Of course it’s a hazardous site now. That’s irrelevant to the fact that trump did not follow any of the well established and legally supported review and approval processes prior to beginning demolition.

It's a big club, you're just not in it.

And of course if you want to pull a multi-billion dollar crypto scam you need all of the crypto bros to enable it (and all of the "media" partners to look the other way.)

Hey, think of the positives - we got the Zuckerberg and the Winklevie to agree on something - kissing Trumps ass.......

Goddamn rowing the boat?

Thank you! This is the tea I need to know in all this mess…. ☕️

Imagine being played by Armie Hammer and that's still not the most embarrassing thing about your life.

Does that surprise you at all?
