Mini-Post: The Truth!

Well we finally heard some truth out of the media about Trump's attempt to build the Place at Versailles!

Jen Psaki Says Trump’s Gaudy White House Ballroom Shows His ‘Horrible Taste’: ‘A Walking, Talking Parody of Himself’ | Video

Jen Psaki said President Donald Trump’s $300 million White House ballroom makeover proves not only that he has horrible taste, but also that he’s the “walking, talking parody of himself” that Barack Obama joked about 14 years ago.

“I want to take you back to the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Yes, that one. You know, the Correspondents’ Dinner — it’s the annual Washington tradition, kind of a weird one where the president and members of the press get together, maybe have a few drinks,” Psaki said on Thursday night’s episode of “The Briefing.” “They tell a few jokes at each other’s expense. But in 2011, the dinner was especially notable because that was the year that Barack Obama got up and absolutely roasted Donald Trump. And there was one joke from that night that I think has a certain resonance today.”

Psaki then played a clip of Obama from the dinner where he said, “Say what you will about Mr. Trump. He certainly would bring some change to the White House.” The former president then showed a mockup of the White House made to look like one of Trump’s casinos. In the clip, the entire room erupts in laughter — well, everyone except Trump.

But now the joke comes to life!

She continued: “But now, of course, we are living in that crazy, wacky alternate universe that Obama conjured up that night a long time ago. By now, you’ve seen the images of Donald Trump’s construction crews tearing down the entire East Wing of the White House to make room for a gaudy new ballroom Trump plans to build in its place.”

The new addition to put it bluntly looks cheep, it looks like a "Pimps Place"! To me it looks like what I imagine a Nevada whore house looks like!

Don't forget... it is being built with any seeing the plans! Trump lied about the size and that the East wing would not be torn down! No one in Congress knows what it will really look like! All we have is Trump's word which is not good!

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

“A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.”
― Booker T. Washington

"We will not walk in fear one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason."
– Edward R. Murrow

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
