MAGA cult observer

@dieworkwear Not to mention the symmetry is way off

The replies to this person's tweet lack a nuanced understanding of aesthetics. Let me tell you why I don't think this room works. First, the gold decorations make the room look like an ersatz Versailles. Go to Getty Images and type in "Oval Office." Then zoom in on the gold decor. You'll notice that the lines are very blunted and muddied; they lack the sharp lines and fine detailing that you'd expect on something made by an artisan. Hence why some people have suggested these decorations are from Home Depot (true or not, that's the impression). You can see the difference between the first and second photos. The first, of course, is of the Oval Office; the second is the reception room from the Hotel de Cabris in France, which was made during the 18th century under the direction of Louis XVI. Even at this distance, the second image looks much better because it was designed and executed by artisans working within a coherent visual language. You can really see the crisp lines and detailing. Second, the White House was designed by James Hoban, an Irish architect who migrated to the US for economic opportunities (what a great American story!). He originally designed it in the Neoclassical style, drawing on Palladian and Georgian influences. Neoclassicalism was a reaction against the Rococo movement, which reactionaries saw as overly ornate and frivolous. A bit of gold used sparingly and strategically can look fine in a Neoclassical building, but the amount Trump used has so radically encrusted the room that it's now in Rococo territory, making it look like a mismatch of aesthetics. You can see an example of gilded Rococo architecture in the third slide. Although it's not my thing, the effect is totally different because it's coherent. IMO, architecture sets the terms for you can decorate a space. Modernist furniture looks best in modernist buildings, just as Craftsman furniture looks best in Craftsman homes (see fourth slide). You don't have to do period recreations — sometimes mixing two aesthetics, or old and new, can make a space feel more natural — but having a sense of aesthetic history (art, architecture, furniture, fashion) can help you create better aesthetics. The Oval Office offends on at least three levels: the ersatz nature of the decor, the way it grates against Hoban’s Neoclassical vision, and the way it misunderstands the classical-republican symbolism that the White House was meant to project in the first place. As others have noted, this is the kind of decor you'd expect from dictators who rob their own country.

@Cold_horizons @yonann Moving isn’t cheap. Even if you’re moving somewhere cheaper, the act of moving costs a lot of time and money.

@yonann Dave is giving perfectly reasonable advice, if you listen to the whole call he tells the caller to move somewhere more affordable and earn a bit of money. The idea that the state needs to take care of all this is wrong.

Dave Ramsey tells a 64 year old on disability making $27,000 a year to find extra income Caller: "I get Social Security disability. I’m 64. It’s $27,000 a year. My rent is about $1,700 a month, and I have this $9,000 credit card debt, which I pay faithfully" Dave: "Come up with a self employed idea you can do with your limitations, as long as it makes you $1,000 or more a month"

@cecegkh Buy your own yacht if you’re so much better than everyone else and can’t bare to see an average person who is living their own life.

@mscottchambers @Gooldfinger @dieworkwear Do you understand irony?

@TheIrishTerror @Gooldfinger @dieworkwear Please stop responding to idiot homophobia with more idiot homophobia (i.e., "oh yeah, well YOU'RE gay!")

pete hegseth genuinely seems like he's unable to control his emotions and this doesn't seem like it would bode well for someone in his position

When they make a good argument but it goes against Peter Thiel's goals so you gotta hit em with the Bored Ape NFT stare

@dieworkwear Is this due to a poorly fitted jacket or the shirt itself??

never seen someone whose entire wardrobe has collar gaps

@BeingJWood Most likely not, vis-á-vis the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Do Trump supporters ever feel stupid?

@Dearme2_ Assumptions

What's a sign of a very low intelligence?

@KyleKulinski I’m imagining Trump as one of the Apollo 13 astronauts. He’d probably recommend that they just periodically hold their breath to save air.

There was a time when people thought stuff like this was funny and endearing but when you realize he means it and he's clinically insane it hits different.

@CrawThe1776 @KyleKulinski Your comment I was replying to is an indication that our education system is severely lacking.

@TheIrishTerror @KyleKulinski You don’t think that our healthcare system is burden with obesity…..

Chat is this good

@dieworkwear Derek I love you but idk if you’ve noticed the country has not been boding well for a while.

@Gooldfinger @dieworkwear Try to stop thinking about your hidden sexual urges bro.

@dieworkwear I have to agree, but you genuinely seem like a huge faggot

@Merci__kayi @little__cutiee Because normal people like tender meat????

@little__cutiee Why would they cook a meat to this extent

They low key overcooked this that it's now disgusting 😳🤮

@little__cutiee @thekerukeion I don’t think you know what overcooked means. It would not be falling apart if it were overcooked.

@thekerukeion I am just saying it's very overcooked But thank you for correcting me

@CrawThe1776 @KyleKulinski Can I lend you an extra brain cell?

@KyleKulinski I agree. We should make fat people excursive.

@Fair_and_Biased I don’t think the left hates her. We just wish she would spill the beans. Regardless, I respect her getting her bag up.

We have a literal model in the White House and the fashion magazines are allergic to her bc they hate her husband.

@KyleKulinski @RealAlexJones Ahh yes King Charles, secret leader of transtifa

@RealAlexJones Alex you really need to retire. You just don't have it any more champ.

The “NO KINGS CULT” meets a real king with a standing ovation. But King Charles is a hard-core leftist depopulation cult leader, so I am not surprised they worship him..

@PlasticChairDis @KyleKulinski @RealAlexJones Bro lost his show because he lied so badly that he was sued into oblivion.

@KyleKulinski @RealAlexJones 80% of the time he's spouting wacky conspiracy theories about psychic vampires, and 20% of the time he has the cold, unadulterated truth. Remember, he was talking about Epstein long before most people. He's also entirely correct on this one. King Chuck is a vile monster.

@joeroganhq @ryedory

@BraddrofliT That man’s ass is trained for sitting

60 Minutes released a photo of Trump ahead of their interview. What do you notice?
