"The Sad Obscenity Of The Moment"

 

Former Republican strategist and never Trumper Rick Wilson has an angry and melancholy reaction to the mentally disturbed Malignant Fascist's grandiose, banana republic-style ballroom project, which has destroyed part of the historic White House:

"In the sad obscenity of the moment, one of the White House’s most beautiful spaces has been amputated, torn away from time and memory in an act of vulgar insult. The East Wing is lost now.

You once walked from the Visitors’ Foyer toward the East Wing, and the world narrowed to marble, glass, and the muffled hush of the People’s House breathing, working, constant and quiet.

It wasn’t grand in the old European sense; it was American grand, which is to say an old beauty, balanced and proper, perhaps a little improvised, a touch austere in places, and deeply intentional. It had the moral clarity of a church vestibule and, if you watched carefully, the workaday charm of a school hallway after the bell.

Generations of tourists and schoolkids and staffers honored to work there scuffed these floors. Marine sentries stooped to pick up a stray mitten and hand it back to a child who, only much later, would understand where she was.

The White House was never meant to be a palace, nor the Oval Office a throne room." (our emphasis)

Read Rick's entire piece. Of the many things this malevolent narcissist and mentally deranged fascist has done to America, he's now defiled "America's house," the White House, which is undergoing a fatal transformation, adding a gaudy, unAmerican Marie Antoinette-style gilded ballroom that required the destruction of the historic East Wing of the White House.  If anything symbolized the MF's self-aggrandizement and sick mentality, this ranks among the most destructive. Yet not a peep from his spineless cult in Congress. 

Dems need to grow a spine and declare that this monument to the MF's ego will not stand the test of time, and that those oligarchs that financed this obscenity will see it dismantled and used as an example of their corrupt sycophancy.
