> [@garygnu](#): > > The Turmp Library will never be completed. Its construction will be a never ending money laundering operation. Thatā€™s what I was thinking. I picture Trump raising tens of millions of dollars for his library, and promising it will be the best presidential library ever. Ten years later it still hasnā€™t been built, but there are nine more golf holes at Mar-A-Lago. Who is it who actually oversees the creation of a presidentā€™s library? Trump doesnā€™t have the attention span to get it done, and once heā€™s out of office no one else needs to suck up to him that much. ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > Who is it who actually oversees the creation of a presidentā€™s library? Trump doesnā€™t have the attention span to get it done, and once heā€™s out of office no one else needs to suck up to him that much. National Archives and Records Administration is custodian of the documents and collections that are US property (meaning just about everything that crosses his desk on account of being POTUS including gifts above some value). The library facility itself does NOT have to be built/run by NARA, by it can be a public entity, an academic institution, a local agency, an NGO or a joint effort. If it is to be run by NARA than there is a provision for the Archivist to arrange for a privately funded endowment so the government is not on the hook for all the construction and maintenance. The Obama Presidential Center will be the first one since Hoover which will NOT be operated by NARA but rather by the U of Chicago and the Obama Foundation. The National Archive will be providing digital access to the records but retain the physical custody of the presidential papers. (ISTM the Trumps would be the kind of people to try to weasel into having the government pay for all of it but themselves control and run it for a profit. ) ---

I understand the inclination to piss on Tan the Conmanā€™s grave, but hasnā€™t it already been established that he enjoys getting pissed on? Have to come up with some other means of demeaning the scum. ---

Good heavens, Iā€™m not a barbarian! Yes, a pee squat. And only now and again. Also works great for any citrus or avocado tree if one is lucky enough to have them. **Sherrerd** is right.

And for pretty much any other growing thing that can use nitrogen, although itā€™s better to dilute it with water in about a 10:1 ratio to avoid ā€œfertilizer burnā€, especially for tender plants. ---

It would actually be the one thing he can keep his attention on: a shrine to himself. Unfortunately, there will always be a long line of sycophants and narcissistic wannabees prostrating themselves for him, even if they have to worship him with prison plexiglass between them. ---
