The list includes the J. Edgar Hoover Building, which serves as FBI headquarters, the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building, the Old Post Office building, where President Donald Trump once ran a hotel, and the American Red Cross headquarters in Washington, D.C.

      Petition to meet stupid with stupid: start a national movement to relocate the federal administration buildings to the geographic center of the U.S.
      Land is cheap, will soon be rendered unusable by climate change. Why not prop up those dying communities with good paying federal jobs?

    soo… create a ‘sovereign wealth fund’ of incredibly unstable cryptocurrency but sell the actual stable values (land) to private entities so we can pay more to lease them than having value owning them.

    what a giant grift. who the fuck would possibly think this is in the nations best interest? where the fuck is congress?

      I really think congress is mostly a bunch of people who got into it on this power fantasy but mostly they all feel like they ‘made it’ and will only do enough to preserve what they have because they’re used to the cushy schedule and the VIP treatment and really don’t want to go back to the shithole they represent.

      Which in normal times, they’d probably get away with that, even the GOPers. But I can’t help but think that if they let Trump get too far some of them are going to have their backs against the wall too. It’s pretty easy to cross him and he gets crazier and has less impulse control with every passing moment.

    Hopefully when this black hole in American history is over we’ll have normalized clawing back government resources from the companies who robbed us. Fuck imminent domain, they don’t deserve a penny.
