Unfortunately, for folks with any honor or personal morality, there is not much choice. Either jettison any vestige of self-respect or leave. This means that any ā€œadults in the roomā€ left have chosen power over honor and deserve neither. This administration is a disgrace, especially when you consider that they have set up a situation where Bolton and Tillerson are considered the honorable good guys! (:face_vomiting: just typing that)

So, if trumpā€™s gas lit bull shit message last night was ā€œ'American Come Backā€ does that mean MAGA is finished? or is ā€œCome Backā€ not great?

Somebody posted this tidbit in a thread somewhere else but, this piece in Dezeen adds an AIA POV to the decree:

Of course someone probably had to point out that snub to Trump, who is too unfamiliar with - well, anything - to notice it. Either that or they decided not to point it out to Trump since being the one who points it out probably means being the one who has to hear Trump yelling about it for an hour.

Good point. Sean Hannity can tell Trump at a safe distance.

No ā€œBrutalistā€, eh? Too ā€œSovietā€?

And the mandate for ā€œClassicalā€ feels like the right wing ā€œWestern Civilizationā€ schtick.

ā€œThe draft executive order specifically prohibits the use of Brutalist architecture, or its derivatives, in any circumstance.ā€

Yeah, seems rather specific for such a facist, some would say, brutal decree.

Holy shit.

Romney also knows that his vote to remove the president from office will bring consequences. Already there is a bill in the Utah legislature that would allow voters to remove a sitting senator. He expects worse in the days ahead.

He was in Florida last weekend and someone at the airport called him a traitor and someone else later told him to ā€œget with the team,ā€ followed by an epithet. ā€œItā€™s going to be there a long, long, long time,ā€ he said. ā€œAnd you know, the presidentā€™s going to, you know, use me in rallies. I mean, he likes theater, and I can be part of that. So itā€™s going to be tough.ā€

He added: ā€œBut again, how do I say before God, I agreed to render impartial justice and let the consequences for me personally outweigh my duty to God and my duty to be to the country that I love? And thatā€™s simply putting my head down and saying what was done was perfect, thereā€™s nothing to see here was not something I could do.ā€

Asked how well prepared he is for the attacks he knows will come, he said, ā€œNot very well prepared. I have tried to keep myself from really thinking about that so that I didnā€™t lose my resolve.ā€ He recalled a hymn he has sung in church that he said says to do the right thing and let the consequences follow. ā€œIā€™m only dealing with the first part ā€¦ And I know there will be consequences.ā€
