There are no words on how stupid and corrupt this administration is.

        If those people were capable of reflecting this wouldn’t have happened in the first place unfortunately.

          They reflect like a motherfucker it’s just that they reflect on how to enrich themselves over anything. We really are in the death throes of Rome, aren’t we? I mean the long rambling nonsensical speeches, the opulence, the pointless wars, crying about barbarians and appointing of horses and tv hosts as cabinet members… Literal fucking gladiator fights at the Palatine Hill.

          One of these days people will come and ransack the fucking thing.

        I mean the fuss about it is the blantant corruption of a no bid contract and the fact that it is a very visible/public demonstration of Trumps inability to do anything correctly.

            Oh absolutely, but when ~40% of Americans support ICE and the Iran war, sometimes these smaller things can help make the failures of this administration more blatant.

            I wish things like rounding up people illegally and detaining them in concentration camps was enough, but it seems like conservatives in america aren’t swayed by those kinds of abuse of power.

            • I mean, I’m not out here canvassing. Whether this would inspire someone to do so, I don’t think so. And finding a trump supporter on lemmy to convert with this is difficult, considering the abject hatred, banning, and widespread defederation of right wing instances and users. Focusing so hard on the pool thing here feels like a waste of mental energy if it won’t push numbers

      …and knowing who’s in charge, it’s going to be abandoned and left to …well, bloom.
