First the military parades, now this. He thinks he's giving Napoleon energy when he's really giving kim family energy, who have their own arch which is :

The structure is modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but is 10 metres (33 ft) taller.

So you know this arch de trump will be 10 meters higher than Kim's.

all the countries laughing at us. We sat on our high horse because we are a democracy and don't do these silly performative shit.

Seems a little premature to be declaring victory. I still read about outbreaks of truth and justice from time to time.

Next: the United States Government and CERN join forces to build a powerful new microscope that would finally let scientists observe Trump's penis.

Lithography common companies are preparing for the 1nm node which will finally produce a fleshlight small enough to fit the great American penis of the great orange one.

I think the non whites will be a large part.

Not exclusively... Also gays, lesbians, women, people with more than 2 brain cells, handicap, Medicare receivers, basically anyone not in the 0.001%

It was a small joke about your typo.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Shit, I didn't even notice that till I read this and went back to re-read my original message.

I predict they will use more money and energy to punish graffiti artists who dare to "desecrate" this small-pee-pee compensation construct, then they ever used to prevent school shootings.

It'll be made of plywood and plaster and cost fifty billion dollars, which the contactors won't get paid for.

Triumph over what exactly?

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

Over common sense maybe

Has anybody joked about ‘Trumphal Arch’ already?

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Guys, he’s going to balance the budget, right after he’s done making the cool things he wants…

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Okay we're getting the ballroom and the arch. What's next...camps for the "homeless"?

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago
