Senator: With the latest revelation from Jack Smith's investigation that has just been revealed, I do not see how you can ignore Trump's blatant attempts to overturn our government and failing that finds the need to tear down the rule of law and plaster his name over every federal building he sets his sights on, or failing that, threatens to just demolish it like he has done to the White House, and his threats to obliterate Iran. He is a direct threat to the health and safety of the people of the United States, and people around the world. He is a megalomaniac willing to destroy anything he can't own. All of us are in danger and he needs to be removed from office as soon as possible
I always thought Judge Dredd would become a hero of the confused right, like The Punisher. A few years ago the creators went out of their way to point out that Judge Dredd is very much a dystopian cautionary tale, and not a folk hero.
Hey, this could work out well. If the building's not up to code, then the next president and Democratic Congress won't even have to spend lots of money tearing down the monstrosity. They can just start a kitchen fire and then stand back.
I got into a big stinkfest when I pointed out that if a scenic door was to be added to an EMERGENCY EGRESS ROUTE, it had to swing in the direction of egress, not into the space as the director wanted.
I had to look up chapter and verse to get the artistic team to stand down.
Regulations like this are written in blood. Meaning they were enacted to correct conditions that resulted in fatalities. When will people learn?
The longer answer is "again and again and again", because humans have a bottomless well of stupidity to draw from and the collective memories of a school of tuna"
McCrery knows that if his name was on the blueprints, his ass would get sued if people died in a fire or roof collapse, no matter how much Pedo47 shouts, “I am the code!”
He ran a boutique architectural firm that specialized in things like churches and libraries.
Can you imagine what a living hell his life must have been from the moment he took the commission from Trump? Phone calls raving about nothing in the wee hours of the morning. Plans marked up with nonsensical instructions and changes written in thick black marker (!). He must have come to dread every day trying to work with Trump. That lunatic razing the East Wing was just the last straw.
" ... it’s a good idea to make sure the waiters will be able to bring food to their tables, to say nothing of making sure that if the building bursts into flame, the guests will be able to leave."
Shalom Baranes, no-account DC no-name "architect" writes a Letter to the Editor of the Washington Post saying, "I do too follow _federal_ building codes. Wow. No wonder that poor weeny can't get legitimate work. Thanks for embarrassing yourself again, Shalom. You my Dawg!
Remember when powerful people had elaborate buildings erected solely to flatter their own egos, and you didn't have to wonder if it was at least built to code?
My letter to Senator Tillis just now:

Good on ya for giving props to Sir Terry!

If Trump wants to kill all his closes friends, and perish in a conflagration who am I to stop him?

Yes, more non-comments in this thread than in the active one.
Someone should have told Tump that lines out the ladies room would not reflect well on him.

The short answer is "never".

Anyone want to guess when I realized this was a Dok Zoom piece?
It, of course, had nothing to do with the Terry Pratchett quote.
And there is a Sir Terry quote for just about every situation…particularly the ridiculous ones.
Le code du bâtiment c'est moi!

This is the difference between "Members of a profession that enforces standards" and .... "politicians".
" ... it’s a good idea to make sure the waiters will be able to bring food to their tables, to say nothing of making sure that if the building bursts into flame, the guests will be able to leave."
Trump's guests? Yeah, good idea, sure.
Just in general. As in general Assembly. When people started leaving when Fatbert started taking.

I can't EVEN.........
The cheese has slid off the cracker and is bubbling in the coals.
Point of order. Burnt cheese is actually tasty and has value. All of this (/waves arms around wildly) ... does not.
