This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Ah yes, the look of every dictator's palace. Loads of gold. Only thing is, most dictators have a form of taste, Trump clearly does not.
Name one dictator that has taste…
Kim Jung Un.
I mean .....have you seen his latest haircut?
🤤
Plus his rockets are pointy.
Unlike Bezos, whose rockets just look like the big penis he never had.....
When you have a micro penis, you need to compensate. That's why Trump needs so much gold. Why so many Americans need huge trucks. Why billionaires need a space company. It's all to compensate something they can never have.
Tastes like chicken.
To be fair, they said “a form of” taste. Which I think is a significant distinction.
Cuz like, the Nazis definitely had a very strong aesthetic. Not exactly “tasteful”. But I can see calling it “a form of taste”.
Good point.
Have you seen the costumes of the SS? The German tanks? The epic bunker, mountain mansion and cars of Hitler? Have you seen the palaces of Nicolae Ceaușescu, Putin, Sadam Hussain, Gaddafi, Kim Yong Un? They were/are fucking evil but they did/do have style.
It looks like Trump wants the same but ordered everything from Aliexpress.
It’a all a bit tacky, the nazi’s with their roman obsession. Everything is too big, too much. They need to prove something, that feels tacky and cheap. It’s all just a layer of veneer.
Well that confirms it. People with style are awful people. Which is what I will use to defend myself when I roll into a job interview looking like I slept in a dumpster.
.......which I did.
Well, people without style can also be awful people. Trump is living proof of that.
As is Stephen Miller. And Steve Bannon. Probably other Stevens as Well
