“We are citizens, not subjects; we have presidents, not kings.”
----Quotations of Chairman Joe
“Executive Mansion, Washington D.C.”
This would have been the heading from any communication from the Lincoln administration or any administration in the 19th century. From its inception to sometime early in the 20th century what has become known as the “White House” was known simply as “The Executive Mansion”. The choice of nomenclature is revealing. The White House is a mansion, not a palace. It is the residence and offices of the nation's Chief Executive, not a potentate. We are a republic, not a monarchy; we are citizens, not subjects.
In this context, the “People's House” is, by comparison to 'presidential palaces' say for instance in Russia, or the regal domicile of Buckingham Palace, a rather modest structure. John Erlichmann, of the Nixon administration, once remarked that on his first day on the job he looked out the window of his White House office and realized that he was operating out of a house. It is, by comparison a rather humble, but elegant structure. It is so by design. It is the people's HOUSE!.
A great deal of thought went into it, from the original architect to the Palladian railings along the roof, a touch included in the original plans by Jefferson to Truman's balcony added during the his administration as the White House, then about to collapse, was rebuilt and restored to its original luster.
It is balanced, as the East and West wing compliment each other in intentionally understated symmetry.
This has been destroyed.
The great vandal, the malignant narcissist, the real estate despoiler, has vandalized our national treasure. In the dead of night, he has destroyed the East Wing of the White House in order to build in its place a 90,000 square foot tribute to his corruption, a ballroom in which the high and mighty may come to be fleeced as they pay tribute to the almighty one. It promises to dwarf the original structure, dimensions sure to enshrine the golden swine permanently into the psyche of the nation. An indellible” mark upon our national consciousness, much as a sledge hammer or wrecking ball upon the skull of America.
The “tRUMP Ballroom” it is to be called, a gaudy, garish, gouache edifice; a trailer-trash idea of grandeur, a pimping out of the “people's house” now made to resemble a New Orleans bordello. It is, in its own way, a monument to Caesar Disgustus; a disgusting tribute to the nation's foremost political whore.
As if this gilded, gold-plated, obscenity weren't bad enough, tRUMP has hauled out a model of an Arch, an imitation of the Arc de Triomphe; the Triumphal Arch built by Napoleon to commemorate his victories during the Napoleonic Wars. Our Disgusting Caesar wishes to do to our nation's capital what the SCAMWAY boys did to Grand Rapids, Michigan. One can go nowhere within the city without encountering the names of DeBoss and Van Scandal. So it will be with Washington as the obscenity of this maladministration will be forever imprinted upon the nation's capital. One can imagine this obscenity towering over the Lincoln Memorial. What would be placed atop the artifice? Lady liberty? Perhaps a Golden Swine.
Rick Wilson author of “Whatever Trump Touches Dies”, has declared in his podcast “The Elephant in the Room”, that the next administration must rectify this obscenity. Wilson declared that every Democratic candidate must promise to bulldoze this monstrosity, eradicate ever particle of it, reduce it to gravel and dump it in the ocean and restore the White House to its previous splendor.
Precisely. Every bit of his golden pastiche, this cheap regal imitation must be eradicated; every executive order must be erased; every bill passed by his rubber-stamp congressional sycophants must be repealed; every vestige of his existence, including what he did during the first maladministration must be undone.
Caesar Disgustus is a carbuncle upon the nose of our favorite Uncle Sam. It is long since past time to do something about it. The next Democratic Administration must understand that there is no 'return to normal'. A national cleansing is in order here. Disgustus and his minions must be prosecuted and imprisoned.
Impeach, Convict, Remove from Office, Prosecute, Convict, Imprison.
