Yup, yup, maturity... fairness... leadership... integrity... guess we won't be needing those anymore.

God what a punchable face he has.

I love that they’re just going with dull, unadorned, gunmetal grey! Might as well get the place looking like a prison!

I was just about to comment this. Feels like the inside of a nuclear bunker.

It's alright, they're just going to replace the words in a few days with new words and concepts more keeping with his things will be for the next 4+ years.

Things like: vindictiveness, bias, jingoism, cult, fanaticism, fake Christianity, prejudice, hate, incompetence, hostile agenda, discrimination, cruelty, nepotism, xenophobia.

Close enough, right? /s

The good caretaker was fired for being a "Diversity hire"

Even paining over 'constitution' near the guy's foot.

Not that it was ever really a priority, but at least they're not hiding themselves.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

Integrity has definitely got to go.

Much later in the day, not pictured... a huge black & red swastika was painted there.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

And then the guy they had paint it gets deported.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

If it's the FBI or CIA it was under the paint the whole time

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago

That's so on-the-nose that I'm wondering if I'm a minor character in a TV show now.

You ever find yourself acting out a fucked up allegorical image in real life as part of your day job?

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Link to article with source in a comment due to Washington Post links getting dropped a lot in inter-server messaging when attached to posts

TFW your "values" are as thin as a coat of paint...

Soon there will be a Presidential Order to rename the USA to The Republic of Giliad.

Doesn’t that just say it all in a single picture
