We’ve already seen it.

I hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as Bush's library - both books were lost in the fire and he hadn't even finished colouring in the second one.

I went to Texas A&M where H W's library is. It's a... nice building with.. uh... museum about him.

Story about H dubs though. I met him. It was at a BBQ joint on the side of the road halfway between College Station and Houston. The town probably has less than 2000 people living in it.

I was meeting my dad for lunch. There were a bunch of suits in sunglasses and earpieces standing in a dirt parking lot full of trucks with rust holes in them.

We walk in and there are H W and Barbara eating brisket.

You had me in the first part. Lmao.

It’ll be a 5x5 plot on Mar-a-Lago with one of those little free library boxes. He’ll charge the GAO 10k in rent a month. It will only be open on Thursdays for a hour and not marked on any map. The box will be stuffed with classified documents.

With him, I can guarantee he will demand that he be able to profit from it. That leaves somewhere he can 'control' it, like new york or florida. New york (and its government) won't be very receptive or compliant with him, so most likely florida, where he can get the republican stooges in the various levels of government to grant him special privileges.

The way things are going with the censorship here, he likely wouldn't need to buy any books for it anyway. It could just be a fire pit.

That was a long route to saying Mar-a-lago.

The shelf above the shitter. And there'll still be space to spare.

Does he have to have one? I've never gotten the impression that he cares about his legacy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think his legacy is all he cares about, but endorsing education and free exchange of ideas certainly isn't part of it.

[–] Balthazar 2 points 2 days ago

No, his image is all he cares about,, which is not the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I think he cares about his legacy, and thinks of himself as the greatest president in American history. He is completely detached from reality, so don't expect logic where there is none.

Somewhere uninhabitable, like New Jersey.

Probably for porn and "artistic" titty magazines, so Mar-a-Lago basement.
