Thats fucking horrendous lmao
It must be strange to only have the grift / destroy setting and no other desire. Tyrant.
Fucking disgusting
Between this and the ballroom it would be a minor blessing if Canada burnt the place down again.
Again?
Again.
We (as Brits) burned it in 1812.
Never mind minor, the world would breathe a sigh of relief.
When this asshole finally dies or goes to jail (please), we might as well burn the place down and start over. You ain’t ever getting the stench out the walls…
Give Canada a call - we did it once before for you guys… 😏
Can I sign up for this mailing list?
Come on down, the address hasn’t changed.
If you’re still offering…
I’m not familiar what’s the history there?
War of 1812. They burned the White House.
Reference to the war of 1812, it was still ~50 years before Canada slipped the British leash but there’s some weird nationalist revisionist history surrounding it.
Outside the various shitty adjustments he’s making now, we cannot forget something perhaps bigger. Because of him, an enemy state flag (the flag of the Confederacy) was flown in the White House.
you mean this?
No. Though if I got a nickel for every time Trump is associated with the Confederate flag… it’d be a rich man.
I was specifically speaking to the Jan. 6 intersection attack. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/kevin-seefried-confederate-flag-capitol-jan-6-sentenced-rcna69784
That’s the capitol, though, no…?
You know what, you’re right. I must have vaguely remembered both and blended the two stories.
Or the ketchup.
actually infuriating
They paved paradise and put up some pavement…
Subtitle to the story of civilization
Like a tacky outlet mall
Should make a small nature center there and lead by example. But nah…
I don’t suppose the organic garden is still around along with the whitehouse mead made from honey of beehives on the grounds.
Someone should create a fuckgrass community so all the virtue signalling can be contained.
I think there are communities like that… but for replacing lawn with native plants not paving them over lmao
Gross. It looks like an open air mall food court.
The garden wasn’t replaced. the grass lawn was. big difference
So happy they got rid of all that ugly greenery and replaced it with a nice lively gray
Turf grass only looks green; it’s usually more ecologically damaging than pavement.
Yeah a grass lawn with no flowering lawn plants is dull and borderline sterile anyway. At least it’s not being replaced with AstroTurf
I don’t see why pavement is worse than manicured grass
Because it’s a garden?
That being said pre Wilson, it actually had garden beds where the lawn was.
Also ask yourself in the context of a garden, what is better vegetation than grass to walk on?
Because ants can live on grass but not pavement? Lawn is bad for biodiversity but concrete is much worse.

Ants can and do live in paved spaces. There is a layer of sand under the slabs that is easy for them to excavate tunnels from, with the entrance between two slabs.
-
It’s the white house. It gets sprayed for insects anyway.
They should spray a lot more, plenty of bugs there.
You need to get the 12 gauge spray for the kind of bug you’re thinking of.

It’s ugly and trashy
