It’s interesting that over-the-top, ludicrously expensive catering is always overlooked when it’s our tax dollars paying for it. There are so many other valid things to complain about regarding Donald Trump, is this just how low the bar has fallen?
I definitely get it - ha ha, idiot mean rich man uses his vast personal wealth to cater for athletes with greasy garbage food in our opulent capital.
I think its hilarious that anyone in Trump’s administration, himself included, would see this as unbridled generosity given the circumstances (the shutdown he could end at any time, his vast wealth, the fact that it’s a visit by some athletes).
But can we please drop the angle that because this is the White House the only food that can be served must be fancy catering? That taxpayers are ever footing the bill for any level of opulence enjoyed by political and celebrity elite is ludicrous (looking at you, White House correspondence dinner, among so many other extravagant, expensive and pointless events where there’s a vast display of wealth).
When you recognize that government is just monarchy with a faster pase of royalty change over, it starts to make these sort of things make more sense.
Every single critique of this “gaffe” invariably includes at least one mention about the ‘sanctity’ of the Office of President, or the respect due to the figurehead status, or the nobility of the White House, or the apparent significance of our public image projected to the rest of the world. Every single one, uncritically reverent of the presidency as a kingship and the White House as a palace.
today i learned that Justin Trudeau is literal the bastard son of Fidel Castro and The Elite Child Sex Slavery Ring is what got Andrew Breitbart assassinated
Maybe a total if 10 pops. Almost evenly split in what seemed like two opponents, with a final single one. Helicopter has been circling for about 15ish minutes now.
They don’t call my city Bodymore, Murderland for nothing.
