Before now, presidents had the decency of dying prior to a "memorial" for them being built.

RIP #GilGerard
Gil Gerard, who played television’s hunky sci-fi hero William “Buck” Rogers soon after the Star Wars franchise took hold in the late 1970s, has died. He was 82. Gerard died Tuesday in hospice as a result of a rare, aggressive form of cancer, said his manager, Tina Presley Borek. His wife, Janet Gerard, posted a posthumous Facebook message he left behind for fans that read in part: “Don’t waste your time on anything that doesn’t thrill you or bring you love. See you out somewhere in the cosmos.”

“Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero

The Orange Toddler strikes again.
Trump’s White House ‘walk of fame’ mocks former presidents Story by Julia Manchester New plaques were spotted by reporters on Wednesday at the “Presidential Walk of Fame” along the West Wing Colonnade at the White House in which President Trump jabs at the most recent former presidents. Former President Biden’s plaque references him as “Sleepy Joe Biden” and called him “the worst president in American history, while former President Obama’s plaque is labeled as “Barack Hussein Obama” and says he was “one of the most divisive political figures in American history.” Former President Clinton’s plaque reads, “In 2016, President Clinton’s wife, Hillary Clinton, lost the Presidency to President Donald J. Trump!” In September, the White House unveiled the “Presidential Walk of Fame” outside of the Oval Office. The display includes portraits of every past U.S. president with the exception of Biden. In Biden’s place is a framed a photo of an “autopen” writing Biden’s signature. The walk of fame additions are the of Trump remaking the White House in his image. He has replaced the Rose Garden grass with a stone patio, and he has directed construction of a White House ballroom that has demolished most of the East Wing.

The timing seems suspicious.

What "land & other assets" did Venezuela steal from us?
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us. The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping. For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela. The Illegal Aliens and Criminals that the Maduro Regime has sent into the United States during the weak and inept Biden Administration, are being returned to Venezuela at a rapid pace. America will not allow Criminals, Terrorists, or other Countries, to rob, threaten, or harm our Nation and, likewise, will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Dec 16, 2025, 6:46 PM

Disgusting!
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like Donald J.

Satire.
But is it?
Republicans Finally Unveil Healthcare Plan: ‘Americans Must Move to Canada’ ANDY BOROWITZ DEC 15 WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—After decades of anticipation, on Monday congressional Republicans finally unveiled their healthcare plan, urging all Americans who seek coverage to move to Canada. “Under this plan, the American people will gain full access to the doctors, hospitals, and medications they deserve,” House Speaker Mike Johnson declared. “They just need to wear lots of layers.”

“I was raised the old-fashioned way, with a stern set of moral principles: Never lie, cheat, steal, or knowingly spread a venereal disease. Never speed up to hit a pedestrian or, of course, stop to kick a pedestrian who has already been hit. From which it followed, of course, that one would never ever -- on pain of deletion from dozens of Christmas card lists across the country -- vote Republican.” - Barbara Ehrenreich
