And the design is all wonky anyway. How can you make any money selling luxury condo space on something with such tiny upper floors?
Yeah. And from a distance, the struts look almost, just almost like…well, they look like fingers.
I had to look it up. According to Wiki, the fire was extinguished when the rooftop water tanks are blown up and the water rushes down through the building, extinguishing the flames.
You would have thought that those 13th century French architects would have thought to place water tanks on the roof. Of course, they hadn’t seen the movie.
They’ve seen what’s happened to people who broke the law for Trump. Bill Barr is wiling to do whatever Trump wants - right up to the point where it puts Bill Barr at risk.
I’m familiar with the flick because my parents thought it would be a good idea to take slightly acrophobia-afflicted me to (I think it was ) the Peachtree Plaza’s revolving restaurant to a dinner/movie event. It was kind of fun, except for myacrophobia bit and the stupid ending.
And if only they hadn’t let the Mob take the asbestos out of Notre Dame everything’d be fine.
I read that the Tweet was the sole English Tweet from the French Civil Authorities today.
That’s a pretty restrained way of telling Trump to fuck right off. Almost unFrench, really.
It turns out that *myacrophobia *isn’t a word. It’s probably too early for me to be reading the internet, although I was hoping I was going to learn my one new thing for the day before sunrise.
yes, I figured out that there is a missing space
I just learned that now. I too assumed myacrophobia was a specific kind of acrophobia.
I’m beginning to wonder if you guys are trying to corner the Stiff Upper Lip market, now that the usual purveyors are on their way out.
And it wasn’t branded, either. How is anybody supposed to know it was [del]owned[/del] designed by Gustave Eiffel since he didn’t stick his name on it in big, gold letters?
So, it’s been long-suspected, but apparently Trump is now officially affiliated with Fox News.
Emphasis mine. “We” have @donnabrazile?
Meh. That seems similar to people saying “We won the Superbowl!” when their favorite sports team wins the superbowl.
The interesting part of this tweet is that Trump thinks it’s “weird” to see a presidential candidate on Fox who hasn’t received his blessing. In other words, it’s weird when they actually act fair and balanced.
Yeah, maybe if he were still Private Citizen Trump, you might have a point. But this is the chief executive of the United States showing a direct alliance to a specific media outlet, basically publicly bitching that his PR team made a questionable hire.
Let’s deep dive here for a moment:
“Many Trump Fans & Signs were outside of the @FoxNews Studio last night in the now thriving (Thank you President Trump) Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, for the interview with Crazy Bernie Sanders. Big complaints about not being let in-stuffed with Bernie supporters. What’s with @FoxNews?”
Strategic
Fauxist News is beginning a new effort which may have the beneficial (to Trump) effect of splitting the Democratic Party. This does not help that.
Authoritarian
Trump obviously thinks Fox News is his channel, in place to promote him, and by (brand) extension, all things GOP/Right. State TV, baby, right here in the Land of the Free!
Psychological
Holy shit, where do I begin?
First: Trump is whining about how he is being unfairly treated on Fox News!
… jealous, much?
“Thank you President Trump” is a pout. No doubt about it. Soon it’ll be “poor me”.
Business
It will be interesting to see how Fauxist News responds.

Look at those replies!
… there’s a lot in these 280 characters.
Bethlehem, PA, thriving? What, did they re-open the steel mill without telling me?
My Gramma lived in Bethlehem, I know it well, and I call shenanigans.
Meanwhile, regarding this latest expostulation from Grand Nagus Trump:
“Pre-Trump taxes?” I admit, it took a couple reads to parse that. I initially thought he was referring to some special tax on Presidential candidates running against him.
But Hey Donnie, weren’t you the guy who, back during the debates, said that paying the minmum in taxes made you “smart”?
Personally, I find the irony rather strong in Trump attacking a politician about their taxes. Where’re you returns, Tan the Conman?
Jesus God, I’ve never heard so much whining.
