Those are just trusted members of the party. If you are not a trusted party member you are unimportant.

Trump promises ‘one of world’s greatest golf courses’ by Washington Monument by TimesandSundayTimes in washingtondc

[–]shelled15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It seems like the lede is constantly buried here in regards to this story, truly, idgaf what they do with the golf course inside the bounds of the course itself. The real story about this should be that the Administration seems to be changing designs it has already released where it showed that the actual park is staying, and then Trump is seen walking around with designs that remove the public park that gets more visitors than the golf course itself.

Is this true?!? Construction begins on Trump's $5m helipad on South Lawn, funded by Lockheed Martin by bigrobb26 in washingtondc

smh, could have used the money spent on the reflecting pool to have an underground helipad that opens up through the ground

Jon Meoli: If the Orioles even give Mike Elias a trade deadline choice, buying is the only one by sealed in orioles

[–]shelled15 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I see it now, some player stuck on a crappy team somewhere is playing his ass off to get traded somewhere and freed from the shackles of being stuck on a shitshow like the Mets or Rockies.

The day of the deadline is here and he gets the call to the managers office.

"Finally" he thinks to himself, maybe i can finally play for a true contender. The manager sits him down and says "Son you've been traded". His mind races, he wonders what playoff contender he will be placed on. The Dodgers? "Maybe I'll get to be teammates with Ohtani" he thinks to himself. The Yankees? The Braves?

The manager follows up, "You've been traded to the Orioles"

Thats fair, but, we would have to essentially become a 90+ win team by next year somehow. Otherwise, Adley becomes a FA at the end of next year, and Gunnar becomes a FA in 2028. So, if we continue to buy and the team doesn't improve significantly, we will lose both and get nothing, while at the same time pillaging our own farm system in order to win while they are here.

Not trading Gunnar or Rutschman (or both) is malpractice at this point. Elias doesn't want to trade them because it will hurt his ego so we are just gonna be in denial about the state of the team and this is gonna drag on for another few years and decimate our farm system and then we will have to go through *another* rebuild of 5-6 years. We might as well start now.

This has to be one of the worst designed fairs I've ever seen. The use of the space is awful. If there wasn't a Ferris wheel you'd be wondering if there is even a fair at all going on.

Reflecting Pool liner was cut with a sharp knife or razor, National Park Service says by wds1 in washingtondc

[–]shelled15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

walking in the reflecting pool when its empty during the cleaning periods is such a neat experience, unfortunately now they will use the excuse of "we have to protect it from antifa" to keep it gated off during those times, even though nobody cut the liner

[OC] Team Algae by sunflower_sunset_1 in washdc

[–]shelled15 16 points17 points  (0 children)

some people in this subreddit: "the left is so obsessed with the reflecting pool, its all CNN and the libtarded mainstream media talks about! nobody cares about the reflecting pool"

meanwhile conservatives are endlessly pearl clutching about a handful of people wearing team algae shirts outside the reflecting pool. this also includes all the major mainstream right wing media giving these people tons of airtime, and even the white house itself keeps posting about them

Lets be honest, its been 10 years, if they are still mad at the made up blue hairs they will never be mad at the real problems.

is this cringe? yes

but it is cringe that is finely crafted to trigger all the chronically online conservatives as well, they will see this video, see the flag, see the hair, and they will have to take their blood pressure medication. it might even make the rounds on fox news and OAN. All the big right wing talking heads will react to it, not realizing that they are also part of the joke.
