10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
As a voter and a taxpayer, I'm waiting on some important concessions before I can support this. Were Trump, for example, hoisted in front of the arch by a crane and dropped from the top into an inflatable kiddie pool filled with cottage cheese, this could become an important and beautiful landmark for D.C.
And the stories you could tell your grandkids.
“I was there, I got a little cottage cheese on me.”
It's not the best idea, since it's completely indistinguishable from the contents of his head.

You know what? I can get behind a tyrannical triumphal arch in DC. If a president ever turns tyrant, we can hang them from it, Mussolini-style.
I think it’d be better without the kiddie pool
I’m all for it, except without the kiddie pool.
Futurama almost got it right.
Wouldn’t it just be easier to send the National Guard to St. Louis to procure their arch?
Sir, may I have just one teensy crumb of healthcare?
Best I can do is have you lie down in a ditch and die
How much is my copay?
All of it
~~co~~pay
I receive: All of your money
You receive: A slow, miserable death
So basically, regular USA.
Can confirm
If your country's poverty rate isn't zero and you rely on deficit spending, you cannot afford an arch. At this point we should be selling monuments to pay for healthcare!
To put in context, 250 feet is a 25 story building vs the 10 story building the Lincoln Memorial is.
Or about 75 m
How many football fields is that
It's about 1,091 Big Macs.
Approximately 37.86 bald eagle wingspans or 326.09 Apple pie diameters.
Can I get that in bananas?
It's in the neighborhood of Apple pie diameters. ~394.
About 15 half-giraffes.
TACO Don barely finished a wall, barely finished that white house construction, continues to just spend American dollars and put this country more into debt.
that barely finished white house construction is already in the middle of building a billion dollar underground bunker able to with stand nukes and a angry mob for the current furher
My answer is No, unless we can use it to hang the MAGA traitors when this is over.
Not a surprise to anyone. Even if it said trump reportedly wants a 250ft penis errected and named trumps boner, that would be no surprise. What I am surprised by is that he hasn't demolished mt Rushmore to put his face there yet.
Yeah, why help struggling Americans when he can waste money on dumb shit like this?
He's sending a message. He has no intention of leaving power, and his family will rule us for a long time.
Sure. We can name it the Donald J. Trump Jeffrey Epstein Child Raping and Murdering Memorial Arch... since he's not being prosecuted - like he should be. I used to be Republican. I left under W. Bush because of the BS Neocon warmongering and eventually became a progressive as I grew older and realized that people's lives are more important than ideals. I know that's a loaded statement, but I don't feel like writing a book to explain it. My only reason for stating that is this: if you're a Republican and you've seen the accusations released in the Epstein files this week and you're NOT demanding an investigation of EVERY individual that EVER went to an Epstein event of ANY kind - DO NOT LIE TO ME AND CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN, A PATRIOT, OR A GOOD PARENT. Because you are None of the above. If you don't want Trump investigated after the things he was acused of while Epstein was alive? You're sick and need to stay away from healthy humans, especially children and babies. Blind support of someone accused of inserting his fingers into little girls to "judge their tightness" is a goddamned mental illness. Maybe he didn't do it, but we won't know until he's investigated fully by a bipartisan 3rd party organization that he isn't in charge of!
Glad you left the Darker Side. We have better cookies.
If that thing gets built, I look forward to it getting dynamited by the next administration. :)
Just make it a public toilet
See this irks me, because if I was in charge, I'd want to spur the economy by building giant cool shit too. Course, I'm thinking more like the Colossus of Rhodes, or those two giant mountain king statues from LOTR (Argonath). But anything that could be seen as a monument to this absolute vile traitor, is too much. After he's imprisoned and dies his pathetic lil death, that name should be stripped from all records, buildings, everything. His name, forever synonymous with a repulsive pathetic evil clown.
He hasn't even built that stupid ballroom that he tore down like 1/3 of the White House to force funding for. One boondoggle at a time dumbass.
Pulmonary embolism 2026!!!
I will only agree to this if there is a huge "TRUMP" brand on both sides, constantly lit up night and day by power sucking Klieg lights. "Gild it!" (that should go without saying). /s
I hope he does that too and without sarcasm. I want it to be the biggest, ugliest, trashiest piece of shit in DC. A legacy to the trailer trash POS president.
It’s where they will hide his used diapers and the Epstein files.
It's gonna be gold-plated, isn't it?
I'll believe it'll be built when I see the ballroom get past the judges and not get past half a billion in estimated costs.
Maybe it should be a giant toilet for the sharter in chief.
Very feminist
