(16,177 posts)

39. He put those g'damn gold drapes up in his first term. I could never understand why Biden didn't replace them.

Maybe he didn't think it was important, but Democrats need to pay more attention to optics. To me, those drapes visible when Biden was speaking in the Oval were a symbol of the Orange Menace looming over him.
When we get we government back, every single trumpy piece of bling needs to be taken down and burned in the Ellipse. That will be some symbolic optics.
