Well, Reagan’s library is really appropriate. It seems to embody the spirit of the old, frontier California. Lovely.

And as Sim1776 pointed out, Clinton’s library resembles a single wide trailer somewhere in the godforsaken outskirts of Little Rock, so fair play, I guess…

I hope Trump builds his library on Park Avenue. I hope it looks like a Gilded Age mansion. Again that would be totally appropriate :)

Obama‘s library looks like it belongs on the moon, minus any futuristic awe any ensouled being would impute to that. Airless, waterless, joyless. Except from the moon, you can glimpse that exquisite jewel of the solar system, the Earth. The view from Obama’s library will probably make Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights look like the Garden of Eden.

Indeed, Molly. Reagan's library has class and style. Probably one of the best ones around.

It would be funny if Trump did that on Park Avenue, but I think he knows now that NY is not a place he wants to be in, given how they treated him. It will be in Florida, I think. Probably near Mar-a-lago.

We should shoot Obama's library into outer space, preferably right at the sun so it gets melted away into space nothingness. 😂

Yeah! Shooting it into the sun would be perfect, like a Viking funeral for our collective misery.

You’re right. It would have been fun to see Trump really stick it to Mamdani (God forbid), but Mamdani’s troubles will be sufficient unto the day. He’s beneath contempt. The Sunshine State it is 😎

The only thing that Obama's library reminds me of is a badly designed tomb. It's blocky, It's ugly, and it fits his personality.

We can call it a trans-library.

Ha! Yeah, it is FUGLY!

We have become the Soviets, complete with a corrupt deep state and ugly architecture. Pity we didn't at least get free universal health care, higher education, and nice spacious apartments to live in like Soviet citizens did as well.

I take that back. We're worse than the Soviets.

Morgthorak the Undead's avatar

I think we are worse too. At least the Soviets had a class-based ideology they were working from, but we don't even have that! We are careening along with a half-ass ideology of out of control egalitarianism combined with massive financial and political corruption.

Sadly. This equality obsessed ideology is really exhausting.

It is thus genuinely horrifying to think that we're worst off than the Soviets.

Obhomo really loved the sound of his own voice, I'm sure he likes hearing about how much everyone hates the ugly library being built in his name.

I'll wager more homeless will be using it as a shelter and a place to shoot up than anything else.

I hope it is a huge stick up his ass, he deserves all the Internet mocking he can get! Screw him!

that's a crazy antenna array up there on the roof.

imagine putting a mini-HAARP up overhead of one of your offices.

Morgthorak the Undead's avatar

I didn't get that either. Who knows why he had that crap put there.

SomeDude's avatar

WHO knows, maybe the UN?

or the WEF?

perhaps his Gay Masonic Masters?

whatever it is, that ain't any normal communications array

A good one, Morgthorak (are yours ever not so?). Heartfelt.

That was my first thought. It looks like a trailer. It’s less attractive than my brothers behemoth RV that’s hulking in my driveway as we speak. Except I’m not afraid of what might happen to me if I enter the RV.

Oh! I meant I'd be afraid of what Clinton would do to me. Not that I'm afraid of trailers in general (that one neighbor is everywhere in all classes, I'd say). I wouldn't go into Versailles if Clinton were in residence there! :)

WV is a truly beautiful and fascinating place. My MIL lived in a trailer on Dauphin Island, AL, overlooking the Gulf. It was bliss.

Hell, I’d be rolling around the country in an RV if I could arrange it :)

Right, some folks are their own reality TV!
