@covie_93 Pretty cruel post for Father's Day.

@omgsidewalks Followup question: how many of these "data centers" do we need?

[Olive Peebo @OliveSquig]

@ricball Do they have to stand there for hours, in all that heavy uniform gear, in the heat of a DC summer? And for what?

[Olive Peebo @OliveSquig]

@RBReich Considering the pool debacle, has any independent group checked on the work at the despised ballroom? Is it worth the cost? We talk about tearing it down, but maybe it will fall apart on its own.

@Rheamund_ I suspect that many venues have people living nearby who wouldn't want all the hullabaloo all the time.

@Martina This is so beyond dumb! Who is in charge, anyway?

@FixingEducation Something I learned along the way: If the problem is not the problem, the solution will not be the solution. I don't think a lack of administrative personnel was ever the problem.

One could wonder if he is actively trying to make all the famous landmarks look as bad as possible for our 250th Anniversary. Please, Media, I realize a nation is not a person, but I'd like for America to be happy and hopeful on its 250th!

[Olive Peebo @OliveSquig]

@Natasha_Brynn1 Yes, forgive in order to get on with repairing the country. Forget, not a chance!

[Olive Peebo @OliveSquig]

@TomHoefling Think he deliberately set out to ruin the optics for America's anniversary? Or to force the press to focus on him and his projects?

@HackswithHaggs I think the textbooks were handed down to next year's class , and the idea was to keep them in good condition.

@covie_93 We've heard of "watching paint dry." Now we have "watching paint peel" !

@gtconway3d @Dybuk4153 I disagree. The reflecting pool has an immediacy about it for us ordinary people. The whole Versailles thing is vague and symbolic and remote.

@4HumanUnity @NEWSMAX I hate to think of how much money--ours-- has gone into the one purpose of covering up DJT'S mistakes, simply because he refuses to admit them.

[Olive Peebo @OliveSquig]

@4HumanUnity I keep thinking of the old line, "You can't fire me, I quit." Seems like this would be the Veep's best move.

@ThatEricAlper By the time I got the hang of them we were in third grade and didn't have them any more.

@OfTheBraveUSA Thing is, some of us are now conditioned NOT to believe anything that starts with "Trump Says...."

@BythePeople18 If he dies in office, what becomes of the plane?

[Olive Peebo @OliveSquig]

@pmtt69 @chiky_handlr I didn't know that. No wonder it's hard to invoke Article 25!
