This is just to claim that building it is a national security matter to bypass laws intended to regulate the construction of vanity projects. It's just lies.

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 days ago

And it works - scotus in their infinite stupidity decided they can't judge whether something is a national security issue or not.

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago

SCOTUS is not a legitimate judicial body anymore and needs to be dismantled. Conservatism destroys everything it touches.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago

True. Blatantly obvious and patently ridiculous lies at that. Hence the crossposting to !nottheonion@lemmy.world 😉

Someone told him Congress will approve crazy requests if he can make them sound like they're for the military. Which is true, but he's so demented at this point that he can't connect any of the other obvious dots.

It also circumvents local approvals if it’s for national security. He’s trying to make a loophole.

Conservative evil is matched only by their stupidity.

“Hallucinating madman continues to hallucinate”

Knowing the Wehraboos that hang around him, this was possibly inspired by the Berlin flak towers.

I bet someone told him it was a top secret place to store weapons, and he was like "got it" and tweeted immediately about the "top grade" place.

[-] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

So if a coordinated group slowly shows up in a nearby public area, then quickly convene and take action, they could potentially overrun the facility and seize military grade weaponry, right near the white house?

Sounds like a great plan... Do it

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 23 points 2 days ago

Important point. A tourist attraction and a military complex don't go together.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago

My thought was someone would wheel in a giant arch, say it's a gift for Trump, have him bring it into the main area of the White House, then people would jump out and overthrow the White House?

Call it the Arc de Troyomph?

[-] Dragomus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

It's clearly meant as an aid for a new Jan 6, no other reason to want to put an arms cache in the reach of a public mob near the white house.

[-] PostProcess@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

We going Tracey Island on this shit now? Like a bond movie the top opens up so a rocket can come out!? What's this guy on,

[-] tal@lemmy.today 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Sounds like a primo place to store that class of battleships that he was promoting about nine months ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump-class_battleship

On 22 December 2025, U.S. president Donald Trump announced the Trump class, with two ships to be initially constructed of 10 planned, and eventual plans for "between 20 and 25" as part of a "Golden Fleet".

They could be stacked atop each other.

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I wish my tax dollars saved and improved lives. I hate this country and the world.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Oh, he's not actually going to get any battleships. Battleships have been obsolete since at least World War 2.

[-] X@piefed.world 21 points 2 days ago

Millions of conservatives thought this was a good idea twice.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Millions of ~~conservatives~~ fascists/cult members thought this was a good idea twice.

Fixed that for you.

Not defending conservatives, mind you, just think it's important to be accurate about what these crazies are..

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 1 day ago

Conservatives have always been on board with this shit. They just used to come up with semi-plausible explanations for it.

All that's happened is trump gave them permission to start saying the quiet parts out loud.

[-] borkborkbork@piefed.social 9 points 2 days ago

sorry, no, conservative america went all in on him, twice, that's the reason we're here.

the fact that they can't discern fascism from their garbage doesn't surprise, they've always been authoritarian loving bootlickers

[-] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 21 points 2 days ago

Because of course a wealthy, powerful democracy needs a base for drones and snipers inside the capital city which consciously resembles a monument to Roman imperialism.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 16 points 2 days ago

It doesn't matter, it's coming down as soon as he's out. Then we need to pass a Federal law that it is illegal to name anything after Trump, except for Sewage Treatment Plants. That way, whenever anyone passes one, they can say "Wow, the Trump is particularly stinky today, much worse than usual."

In British slang apparently trump already is a "childs" term used for fart.

So in the U.S. some say they tooted, British kids might say they trumped

[-] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 5 points 2 days ago

Actually, in the UK, 'to trump' now means to fuck an entire country into the ground with no shame whatsoever.

We should probably update the dictionary.

[-] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 5 points 2 days ago

UK is not exactly in the position to throw stones on that matter.

[-] pamparana@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

What a moron!

[-] BooBees@fedinsfw.app 7 points 2 days ago

So just like most of the things he’s built, it’ll self implode, collapse shortly after he’s siphoned off as much of the funds as he can.

[-] PodPerson@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

It’s nice to save our adversaries time and effort when they eventually have had enough and need to shut us down. Now they will know where to bomb.

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

Maybe the horse men will ride their horses in the hole to get their tools and swords outpf the hole.

Or you know, the Chinese drones after a long drone flight might feel perky and take some loops around it. Great use of my tax money. How about also digging very deep holes out in the desert, just to see what's in there?

[-] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Getting ready for the rebellion.
