‘American workers FIRST’?

Another federal building paying homage to Trump, this time the Department of Labor on Constitution Avenue NW. I only knew to look for it because the secretary of labor, with great fanfare, had announced the installation of his picture at a televised Cabinet meeting earlier in the week.

Skippers, too, posted earlier:

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max
1/1700s f/2.8 at 15.7mm iso50 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Nicely captured with excellent clarity and detail. An interesting comparison of two presidents who history will show very differently. . When considering National Parks, protected Federal Lands and the importance of saving these areas for future generations, history will record one as a protector , the other as a destroyer.

Trump needs a new title. Here is Ida Amin's official title. I'm sure Dictator Trump could use it as a model and come up with something really cool for himself. After all, he soon plans to be the conqueror of Canada and Greenland. "His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular"

Wow, that’s sick. Wonder if there are National guardsmen standing there to make sure it doesn’t get ripped down. Things are going from bad to worse.

Strange and a little creepy. What's going on in Washington? I can understand Roosevelt, but why the other guy?

🤢 It reminds me of North Korea with the photos of the Dear Leader everywhere. V

ominous...the cult of personality often indiccates an authoritarian leader..
