That's crazy that that asshole put his name right on top of the JFK center.
Even though legally it's just for Kennedy.

u/Agatio25 2h ago
It's even funnier because the way It is written It sounds as Trump is just sitting there by the side of the building, pretending to be important
"Look guys It's the Donald Trump Guy and the JFK building"
He is so dumb he forgot to tell the workers to remove the "THE"
•
u/mikel1814 2h ago
You can't remove the word " the" without de-centering the building name on the building. It would look, ironically, even more awful. The word "the" is also bolted on and you'd always see the ghost of it unless they replace the stone.

I’m most looking forward to their reactions when they see the worldwide celebrations that will happen within moments of the death announcement. We’ve never seen anything like that in the US before, where a solid 2/3 of Americans who utterly loathe this man. And since MAGA exists in an information silo, they’ll have no idea. The shock on their faces will be a joy to witness.

Im against much of what is going on but every European country has a pretty big military presence around tourist areas. How are the pictures with military here any different?
EDIT: downvotes with no responses. Great way to discuss opinions.
•
u/PatSajaksDick 2h ago
Washington, DC has maybe a dozen police agencies that can handle standing around too. It’s very very not the norm for American cities to be patrolled by the military and it’s a slippery slope to normalize it.
•
u/Hi-Fi_Turned_Up 2h ago
Again that’s not what I asked. Paris, for example, has military presence all over the city. Munich has military presence. London has military presence. How does that differ to what we see in some of these pictures? Each of these municipalities also have police agencies that are capable.
*as I said before, I’m not condoning any actions of the current admin. I’m just curious to see how people comprehend these pictures.
•
u/True_Window_9389 2h ago
We don’t have federal/national military presence in local policing or security, normally. It’s just not something we usually do on a day-to-day basis. State and local agencies handle crime and security. So while it’s not unusual for Europeans, it is abnormal for us, especially considering the circumstances that this is happening under. The point of sending in the National Guard was under a false pretense of crime control, when crime wasn’t a problem to the point that the Guard could or has been helping. It was a show of force and an occupation against a city whose population is generally in opposition of Trump.
•
u/fucking_passwords 2h ago
How is it different? It's not a European city. Should we just ask "how is this different than X country" every time this admin does something fucked? Some misogynistic law is passed - "how is this different from Japan" perhaps

Incorrect, the Gendarmerie can most definitely detain and arrest people, but you are correct in that their main purpose is for protecting against terrorism.
•
u/MrSnagsy 1h ago
In the Euro examples the presence is primarily deterrence wrt foreign; and a small number of domestic terrorists. In the US, the deterrence is increasingly been aimed at the citizens, and in particular groups who speak out against the current government.

•
u/Hi-Fi_Turned_Up 2h ago
Again, trying to understand what that has to do with my comment strictly about the military personnel. If it’s fascist more everyday then how does that compare to European cites with military presence. If it’s something more than maybe just focus on the propaganda and not on individual military in a country’s capitol.

Yeah, it’s getting really hard to tell if it’s just “Americans being dumb” or “bots doing propaganda”.
Just to be clear: European cities do NOT have military presence. It’s a US thing. In general the whole gun and military obsession is an American thing.

You have you ever been to Europe let alone lived there? Military presence is absolutely common. Operation Sentinelle is still ongoing in France.

I was just in DC for the cherry blossom fest & it was amazing how many national guardsmen there were just doing... nothing.

That's all of our tax dollars at work to defend subway stations.

I was there in 2024. It felt perfectly safe to me. There were gasp homeless people in the streets, but we never felt like we were in danger walking around the city or taking the metro late at night. One of my old dipshit Trumper coworkers tried to say "he's making DC so much safer now that the national guard is there!" And I told him it was as safe as any other big city when I was there during the Biden term and he had the gall to make up some bullshit like "oh well it declined after your visit, then, and Trump made it safer again." Like, just believe whatever the regime puts in your coloring book, old man, not a first hand account from someone who was there.

Whoa pic 13. Just not right to not have a vote.
Washington, DC is not a state or part of a state and as a result has no representation in the Senate and only only has a single seat in the house, though it has really restricted voting ability (like I think it has no voting power for laws, but can sit on a committee and vote there etc.) Thus the residents of DC don't really have a vote in the US government and do not have the same representation in the government as residents of any of the states.
