...seeing the filth and the decay and all of the broken buildings and walls and the graffiti.
On Tuesday August first, Donald J. Trump received his 3rd indictment. This one was for his efforts to undo the results of the 2020 election leading up to the January 6th insurrection. He appeared in court Thursday for the arraignment. Travel from the Regan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia to the courthouse to was by way of motorcade with an entourage of secret service. Private entrance around the courthouse was prepared for his visit. The street to the courthouse was lined with barricades and details of special security.After leaving the courthouse, he gave a brief speech to news media waiting at the airport and stated “This is a very sad day for America, and it was also very sad driving through Washington, D.C., and seeing the filth and the decay and all of the broken buildings and walls and the graffiti. This is not the place that I left. It’s a very sad thing to see it.”
He blamed this all on president Biden... were you expecting that?
I got to see a news feed of the tree lined highway path back to the airport and unable to catch any buildings along the way. I'm sure there were some between the highway and the courthouse. My plan was to trace the route with Google Earth just to see for myself what was actually visible along the way.
My schedule is super busy right now, having submitted a revised quotation for a project, the GC also wants the drawing revisions. That could take most of today and part of the weekend.
The good news is many of the people on social media who are familiar with the Washington DC area contested Trump's statement about the filth and decay.
Anderson Cooper said: “We should point out that when the former president left office and left Washington, D.C., the city was on lockdown because of the attack on Jan. 6,”
“That is the city he left behind.”
It was noted that damages caused by the Capitol riot exceeded $2.7 million.
Again, it's a case of who do you want to believe?

LoL, the prosecution would have freaked, they have no plan for that scenario.
That said I have in my time dragged handcuffed people to that same facility on Constitution Avenue and turned them over to DC Police for processing in the underground prisoner booking center underneath. Admittedly, even back in the Clinton and G. Bush Jr. era the ugly green paint down there was flaking off the walls and the ceilings. I do wonder however, not having seen any TV footage of 'young' Donald being fingerprinted of giving mug shot photos if they, knowing in advance of the arrival of such a distinguished guest, if DC's Govt found enough money for new vomit paint some of the prisoners down there could slather over the walls for him. Mot much one can do about the smell of vomit and piss which was constant in that facility. A lot of the inntakes down there don't bother to use the urinals and the addicts throw up a lot when they go cold turkey on their overnight stays. But heck, jail intakes are not supposed to be luxury hotels.
Trump's drive from the airport to the Federal Courthouse (which is attached via tunnel to the DC Govt. HQ and Police Department did not pass any privately owned structures (with the exception of the long closed Willard Hotel and the 14th St. Mall). It is all parkland and museums on the Mall side and Federal Office buildings on the other side.
I actually have zero idea what he was talking about and have to conclude maybe he is prone to fantasy delusions. His convoy did not venture near privately owned properties or businesses. Even when he was President he was not a President of the people like Clinton, Regan, Kennedy, the Obama's etc. in that he never once to my knowledge set foot outside the confines of the White House while in DC (with the exception of convoys to the Capital Building for a State of the Union Address). He never visited a McDonalds or a DC restaurant. He never even walked on the Mall and talked with tourists. Even Nixon did that much.

I think it is fair to say he at best was just full of fecal matter again.

I've never seen an untitled bible before.
I've never seen an untitled bible before.
Trump only cares about a photo opportunity and holding a bible in his hand reeks of insincerity...upright or upside down...not like he has read anything but Mein Kampf...
At least he is consistent...denials and blaming other's for misdeeds done...
BTW his motorcade did not go near that corner which would have been invisible to those in the motorcade,
