This has such strong vibes of the Capitol in from 'The Hunger Games', we're not quite sure how else to interpret it. For a while, we've covered the devastation of Hurricane Helene, especially in western North Carolina and the aftermath of FEMA's incompetence. There are still people living in tents, being refused the almost useless $750, and discriminated against if they supported Donald Trump.
So it's incredibly -- incredibly -- tone deaf for the White House to take one of the trees that survived Helene so they can decorate it (and we've all seen Jill Biden's taste). “This one remained standing." First lady Jill Biden received the 2024 White House Christmas tree, a Frasier fir from the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, a community recently impacted by Hurricane Helene.

The optics of the White House, who has barely lifted a finger to help these people, taking a thing of beauty from them for their own amusement is so on the nose. It is so fitting for the Biden family to take one beautiful resilient thing, cut it down, use it for their own benefit, and then toss the remainders when they are done. It is representative of how that family has treated the White House and America.
Yes it is. “We did our best to destroy everything but this dadgum tree wouldn’t fall, so we just sliced its metaphorical throat to make it submit. As with the rest of our adversaries, it worked.
Oh uh...
happy holidays!” Merry Christmas! It's not just that y.
