    So what role are they fulfilling?

    Well, right now, the role of fluffing up Donald Trump’s ego with big silver letters at taxpayer expense.

    I feel this a lot in this administration. The government actually is too big and it actually does need to be reigned in and seeing some (not all) of these institutions destroyed or crippled is actually gratifying for exactly the reasons you mention. I just wish it wasn’t accompanied with a side of “here’s some piss on your head, it must be raining.” These idiot cosplaying shitheads are not the right tools for the job.

        No, they’re actually silver. The fact that they didn’t have the finest 1k gold coating was the only thing about all this that surprised me.
