    Jesus Christ, I didnt know how bad things had gotten at the reflecting pool, that video of the national guard announcing over megaphone to not loiter is legit I think the most Orwellian imagery I’ve ever seen, at least when it comes to modern events 😅

    The juxtaposition after watching mamdani go for a dip and give folks hugs is honestly so surreal as to be comical

      The US government seriously couldn’t look more evil if it tried. USA is turning into what I was always told North Korea is.

      Land of the “free” ? Land of the “don’t spend time in public areas, terrorists!”

        Does feel like something that would have been included in the wolfenstein games as dramatic critique and we’re bringing it into reality because the president did a really bad job of painting to reflecting pool blue so it looks like a swimming pool.

        Dumbest timeline. 😐

        Lincoln was a white supremacist

      Trump can drive through it with a motorcade, but God forbid you stand there and look at it for more than 2 minutes.
