Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

i think voters have decided that they're way past that era. tearing that shit down on day one will be a winning promise for primaries and the general election
Let's see, that's the right thing to do for sure, anything Trump built or branded should be erased, logically it's an easy win.
My gut says at most they repurpose it as office space or rebrand it. They will say American's main concerns are the economy and tearing this building down whilst Americans are hurting would be a bad look. The commentary around the midterms is mentioning that the Dems are "only renting" these voters. Which makes me feel that appeasement is part of their mindset already.
I'll feel more confident if real action to bring these crooks to account occurs over the next two years. It's interesting that Karp at Palantir is trying to pretend he was always a dem now.
Make it a homeless shelter, or a factory that creates building materials for low income people. Don't tear it down. Being wasteful is irresponsible.
i got hopium from the LAWYER UP edits...
but repurposing it misses the point. this is pretty iconic architecture being completely shit on by the shit stain of history. there's no way anyone argues for keeping it. i actually think even republicans will campaign against it
