(Tabz @telegram) A large section of the stage collapsed during rehearsals for President Trump’s Freedom 250 Fourth of July celebration, narrowly missing a dancer.
It is very funny how there really doesn’t seem to be a single competent person left in the Trump administration, it’s all grift all the way down, even to the people building the stage.
All the people who knew anything got DOGEd
I know presidents who use subtext and they are all cowards.
Hey, NO WAY this is on me! You contracted me to build a stage for one performance. For, ONE, performance. I understand you have used myyour stage as many as three times to practice. It is simply unreasonable to expect the structure to take this ridiculous level of abuse.
Oh, and I’ll sue if you say otherwiseLet me guess, another no bid deal doled out to Dan Bongos from Newark?
Hey, wait a minute, hold on here. You’re not @FlakesBongler@hexbear.net.
I took up the mantle
Jesus it nearly killed that girl lmao
Could have killed several.
Obligatory “I am simply asking for less explicit metaphors”.
I wonder who got the contract for the fireworks this year. Ought to be incredible, lol.
The design of stage visually is horrendous. Like McDonald’s Golden Arches with purple construction paper backdrop, and the hilariously bland and tiny “US” in the back. It’s like everyone involved knows this is a sham, and they’re also incompetent. Who even wants this other than Trump (Does he actually want this even? Eros he even know what he wants ever?)
As a designer who occasionally comes across job postings for things like this (usually hidden behind at least one layer of anonymity so people don’t spam the job postings), they either use AI to “get them 80% of the way there” and then a marketing person “finishes the design”, or they get a designer who thinks it will be hilarious to take their money and do the worst job possible. Fields like this require empathy because you need to know what your audience is thinking, and how to appeal to them. It’s why the official art style of this round of fascism is AI. No one who’s actually good at their job wants to do it for them.
If you wrote a book about the end of an empire and featured the scenario falling apart while dancers perform, you’d be called cheesy and cliché
The highest stage of capitalism
hell yeah enby colors
actual Krabby Land shit going on goddamn
What’s with the display behind them? If they’re going for asymmetrical, it’s not working.
Maybe it’s just some placeholder graphics?
The real thing will probably be worse
Your think a stage just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it. Antifa!
