New York should seize Trump Tower

Froufrou Fifth Avenue resembles a police state.

Officers wielding gigantic guns guard Trump Tower, where President-elect Donald Trump conducts all transition business, and soon lots of presidential business, too. Shoppers patronizing the stores, cafes or public gardens inside must endure layers of security screening. Streets and sidewalks are barricaded; traffic is snarled; and costumed buskers milk money from the looky-loos obstructing the entrances to Gucci and Tiffany.

The challenges of securing this 58-story building in a high-density neighborhood will, by Inauguration Day alone, drain $35 million of local taxpayer money. Who knows the additional costs to commerce and property values?

Washington Gun Size Guide

small 01: too small, can be sneaked in too easily
small 02: still too small to be noticed easily
small 03: again too small lets face it, there is no safe small gun
medi 01: described as medium, this is still too small for safety’s sake
medi 02: just a bit larger than the smaller dangerous medium size
medi 03: a bit larger than the Medim 02 class, but still both too small and too powerful to be owned by the public
large 01: too large a gun for private ownership, a danger to everyone
large 02: an even more dangerous gun, jeopardizing everyone’s safety, should be banned
large 03: only a domestic terrorist would own this
gigan 01: a special class so offensive, we had to employ a stupid inflammatory word to scare members of the public
gigan 02: there really isn’t a class like this, but we want the public to think there is

If Trump wants gigantic guns, Trump gets gigantic guns...

"And Nia, tidy in her blue-and khaki school uniform, obediently answers, "Succeed." That one sentence scares me about who we are dealing with.🇺🇸

Catherine Rampell of the WaPo worries that Manhattan has become a police state. Ha!

You imbeciles have been happily moving us along that path for at least 15 years. You’re not fooling anyone.

Now get back into your safe space.

The ComPost is exploring new levels of stupid previously deemed impossible to reach.

I think we need to have a new Noble Prize. "The Nobel Prize in Stupidity" These people are setting new world records in stupidity every day. this isn't parody, it isn't satire, this is what passes for thoughtful rational commentary in the Wash Po.

Indeed. This is quickly becoming absolutely comical.
