So… you want the Government to interfere in free and legal capitalism…. ? Good luck making that popular with Republicans….

You hear that breathing? That’s me not holding my breath…

Truth.

If you want to provide some on-the-record feedback to the National Park Service about the ghastly Arc d' Trump, here's the place: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?documentID=151576

Or you can email directly to ncr_planning@nps.gov

Will it matter? Likely not. Is it worth offering your voice: I think so.

Good to see the #Vicepresident is boldly and resolutely following in the inspiring footsteps of the #President... by being a blustering faux-alpha meddlsome hate-monger. Great leadership, JD!

Trump's capital building Lackey says of course his planned arch is exempt from federal laws about building height because he's the the guy in charge, fergoshsakes.

Good Lord. It really seems to be the case that with enough power and little enough shame, you can do *anything* to stroke your ego.

GOP: Parents, there are scary people out there who might do #gunviolence to your #kids. So buy them a bullet-proof backpack and tell them to cooperate with active shooter drills.

Also GOP: Nation, there are scary people out there who might do gun violence to our #DearLeader. So build him a yuge bulletproof bunker / #ballroom covered in gold with lots of security so that he can dance the night away safe from mingling with the dangerous hoi-polloi.
