So he is building his own Fuhrer bunker.

[-] raman_klogius@ani.social 207 points 2 months ago

Ah, so the headline is worded wrong.

He's not seething, he's führerious!

[-] TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website 72 points 2 months ago

And we all know what he did last in his bunker

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 27 points 2 months ago

Made his best artwork ever!

I mean just consider the dedication needed to make a pièce de résistance right as the Red Army is almost at the doors, using nothing but the raw concrete walls of the Führerbunker as canvas, his trusty Walther PPK as brush, and his own grey matter as paint... I'd dare say it's the most consequential piece of art of the 20th and maybe even the 21st century. It's a shame it was destroyed.

I was hoping he'd skip this part and go to the final one directly, but it is a step in the right direction.

[-] redsand@infosec.pub 13 points 2 months ago

Stargate data center. Oracle hardware running Grok to spy on everyone. The White house already has an underground bunker of that sort.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

It's more like a Führer rape dungeon, knowing the Epstein files.

Sure sounds like someone who is making plans to stay in office past this term.

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 46 points 2 months ago

He go in bunker, we weld shut from the outside. Everybody win!

[-] plyth@feddit.org 18 points 2 months ago

Or he is preparing for somebody who is coming after him.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

I think he deadass plans on holing himself up in a secret bunker and getting McDonald’s delivered every night. I bet his cover story would be something like a secret daily ritual and it wouldn’t even occur to him that the new president might keep in friendly enough contact with previous presidents to compare notes.

Well...when does a politician plan for something that lasts beyond his term?

God is Dead. USA is a rotting corpse.

Regular people should be taking advantage of the worlds disorder right now. Reclaim humanity.

Billionaires and their companies...

If only Iran would start going after the companies supporting data centers and the tech bro dependencies.

[-] captcha@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 7 points 2 months ago

Why is it Iran that must deal with that shit?

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 62 points 2 months ago

After big tech hurled money at him we should have all automatically assumed there's an underground datacenter in the works there.

[-] redsand@infosec.pub 23 points 2 months ago

And the major power upgrades the city is doing, architect change, sponsors, military consultants, footprint, etc...

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I guess I still don't get why a datacenter would make any sense to put there?

[-] 1dalm@lemmy.today 62 points 2 months ago

Is anyone surprised? I mean, did you guys think it was really a $300 million dollar ballroom?

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 166 points 2 months ago

Is anyone surprised?

Yeah, kinda. I assumed it was a $90 million ballroom with the remaining $210 million being funneled to cronies.

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 53 points 2 months ago

I thought he was pocketing it

[-] artyom@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago

Have you seen the room where he does press conferences?

[-] 1dalm@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

Well, no. I don't really watch his press conferences.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 47 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Its chock full of gaudy gold bullshit

I have no trouble believing he would fill an entire ballroom with $300M of the same gaudy shit.

[-] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 13 points 2 months ago

Actually, is cheap decorative plastic, spray canned gold.

[-] DragonAce@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Honestly, I think someone went on a shopping spree at Home Depot in their Wood Appliques department.

Here is part of that gaudy shit under the shelf/mantle behind him. Its all cheap shit painted gold.

We figured this out months ago, but the media didn't report it at all. It was never about the ballroom, always the bunker underneath.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

Fuck the new billionairre media.

The cost keeps increasing. That's hilarious.

But of course he was building a bunker. There's literally no surprises there. It'll be the new den of rape for sure.

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 28 points 2 months ago

This won't be finished in time for him to use it so I guess someone else is pushing for the bunker and they decided to put a ballroom on top to get his approval.

[-] megopie 10 points 2 months ago

Or perhaps the contractors involved are giving him or his associates kickbacks from a construction scam, so, it doesn’t need to be finished ever for him to benefit.

[-] Small_Quasar@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Oh, that's definitely happening, regardless of anything else. I bet you Washington has started including necessary corruption in cost analysis the same way Banana Republics do.

I absolutely would have known nothing about the military complex but for Trump opening his big mouth about it repeatedly.

Knowledgeable people are aware that any construction at the White House also involves fortifications and bunkers.

[-] immobile7801@piefed.social 25 points 2 months ago

I honestly thought there was already a bunker under the WH. Too many movies I guess.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

There absolutely is along with some of the best medical facilities in the world and more food and weapons than anywhere else nearby, they just tend to put POTUS on AF1 to stay mobile during duress but that place is a fortress on top of a bunker fortress.

That's for war, this one is for child rape.

[-] QueenMidna@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 months ago

It's not a bunker, it's a data center. Just a hardened one.

Pfff. He would have posted pics of it himself eventually.

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

America chose fascism. And you're surprised when fascists act like fascists?

[-] 7101334@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

America is fascism, just ask the indigenous people deprived of their land and life, the piles of dead buffalo slaughtered as part of accomplishing the American genocide, and the dead slaves. This isn't America acting like Nazis, Nazis acted like Americans - Hitler was directly inspired by how we treated migrants at the southern border.

But yeah, while we're on the topic anyway...

The Vorbunker (upper bunker or forward bunker) was an underground concrete structure originally intended to be a temporary air-raid shelter for Adolf Hitler and his guards and servants. It was located behind the large reception hall that was added onto the old Reich Chancellery, in Berlin, Germany, in 1936.

(Note that quote says "located behind", which makes it sound above-ground, but it was an underground bunker).

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Fascism was never defeated, instead the US spread it around until the whole world became fascist.

At least we can hope the nukes won't fly until the bunker is done so we have at least 3-4 years to change something.

Hey look at that. That one dude that posted the stuff here 6 months ago or so about the designs and plans and mentioned how all of the donors were related to people that are doing underground data centers and stuff like that for Israel are the same group that are working on this with none of the other people that should be involved with ballrooms like Tiffany and stuff like that being associated.

[-] Bubs12@lemmy.cafe 9 points 2 months ago

Building a bunker at the White House is probably the most useful and appropriate allocations of funds Trump has done.

It’s a low bar, as they say.
