    Honestly I think this is great. Some tacky bloodsport arena is a refreshingly honest reflection of the true national character of this country.

    Much more fitting than the weird civil religion stuff going on in the rest of the national mall. This country does not deserve dignity until it stops being a global force for evil.

      Was mad, but yeah, honestly true. It’s like when he renamed the Department of Defense back to the Department of War. A far more accurate reflection.

    Trump is showing why Flordia needs to be cut off. Next month, we are adding plastic flamingos and a 2005 Dodge Ram with 3 rims, on blocks.

    It’s probably been mentioned many times already, but here it goes anyway:
    “If you put a clown onto the throne, the clown will not turn into a king. The palace will turn into a circus.”

        He did appoint his TV Producer business partner as head of the intelligence service, who then missed the Russian invasion.

    Relevant quote from Carl Sagan’s “The Demon-Haunted World”:

    [The 1939 New York World’s Fair’s president] Grover Whalen - a former corporate executive, New York City police chief in a time of unprecedented police brutality, and public relations innovator […] had convinced Stalin and Mussolini to build lavish national pavilions. (He later complained about how often he had been obliged to give the fascist salute.) The level of the exhibits, as one designer described it, was pitched to the mentality of a twelve-year-old.

        There’s a lot of wind turbines where I live and driving past them feels extremely blissful. Just looking at them gives me hope.

        Correct, he hired the most qualified people and listened to them (eventually). Much less can be said about darth cheeto.

    I can see the logic. Build a colosseum and stage gladiatorial contests, distract the masses and get made emperor for life. But what a pathetic attempt at a colosseum this is.

      No room for chariot races, fierce wild animals, or simulated naval battles. Pathetic indeed.
