I think we need to strip it for all its value first (gold fixtures, furniture, lighting, windows, ornate doors, and anything else of value), sell those wares and donate that money to rebuilding and reopening the USAID building and programs.
I absolutely cannot wait for this. I fear that they won't do it, but every progressive voice in the country should make this part of their rallying cry.
I'm also 79. Thank God I am in a lot better health than this repulsive cretin. If I don't live to see these tacky symbols of fascism blown up, just reading your piece about the destruction has been gratifying and soothing. 👊👊👊💙💙💙
I have proposed “The Great Undo Act” that will require the reversal of every single thing this puke did while in office -repeal every law, reverse every edict, revoke every pardon, dismantle all construction - every trace of his stupid evil existence wiped clean. One law, undo Chump.
OK but Rihanna almost fell off such a platform during Super Bowl Halftime. Something went wonky with the suspended platform and it got a little shaky! And didn't that same thing happen to another singer a few months later? Was it Beyonce?
One more thing about the Superbowl timing. Given that the average price of a nosebleed seat in the middle of the winter is ~$6,000 as of 2025, with top seating north of $20,000, the projected demolition ceremonies will likely be viewed in stadium by Trump's own supporters, especially considering the venue is not exactly the Kennedy Center.
All the more reason to ram this down their throats by incoming Presidential edict. Clearly mandating half-time to the NFL and a mass media broadcast that working people will view will be a delicious humiliation ritual at the expense of the capitalist bastards. In fact, and in answer to one post, part of that mandate must be that they be required to publicly defray all expenses of demolition AND restoration.
A mere moment of symbolic proletarian dictatorship as it may be, it nevertheless can serve as a signpost pointing us in the correct direction.
We can put a big dent into the orange one's blustering if we call things by their real names, the reasons that they exist. I've started by always referring to a planned ballroom as "The Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom". A large number of DJT's proposals can be seen in this framework. "The Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Boat Bombings". "The Jeffrey Epstein Memorial ASL Elimination". "Jeffrey Epstein Memorial National Guard Deployments".
Folks, this is the way to have every attention getting ploy smothered in Epstein avoidance reminders like bubblegum on the President's face.

Ha! There’s no real gold in there. And the fixtures and furniture will be cheap knockoffs made in China. This is Trump we’re talking about.
What the next president should do is initiate a Trump tax on cento millionaires and above to pay for all the damage he has done.
NO! If you want to make a statement, you make sure it's REAL GOLD. Then you wreck it.
"But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end."
"Well baby, I went down and got it for you."
"Aw, you shouldn't have."

I suggested blowing it up on January 21, 2029, but the Super Bowl halftime idea is even better!
I'd love to see it, but the Democrats would ooze into that sleazy ballroom warehouse as comfortably as Trump and his lickspittles.
I feel like this era, in many ways, has robbed us of our imaginations. I love this piece because it feels like a step towards getting them back.
If he gets it built, it's going to be cheap construction.
Have sledge hammers available and let us work on the rubble.
Think the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Then let the Archives go after every piece of art, furniture or paper these people have stolen and forcibly bring it home.
We can start with the Resolute Desk.
And let the billionaires who thought bribery was a great strategy pay to restore everything.
I hope someone took clippings of the roses.

If only this would really happen!! more likely there will be parades of honking horns celebrating the orange fucktard's death.
Not "should". SHALL and MUST.
Love the idea of the Super Bowl destruction! Such a fabulously gratifying idea!
I found this unexpectedly moving. Thank you

Just here to support the Jon Batiste idea -- saw him last night with the San Francisco Symphony and he is a national treasure!!

Every single word of this.
