They're just building the grandstands for us to sit in during Trump's inaugeration.

Oh, that. Something to do with the "entertainment portion" of the event.

Looks like they're bringing in the White House Christmas tree. That looks like a very up close shot of maybe some kind of framing used to transport it. Or this pic could be from back when they did the updates to the lawn and had some trees removed.

Yes. Without the French Revolution, there is no communism.

Absolutely. All of the weird, society-reconstructing decimal time, 10 day weeks, reworked months, etc seems commie af before its time.

They were, literally, Marx's inspiration. Your observation is not immaterial.

Good point. People like to lump our Glorious Revolution and the Frenchie's together, but they were really quite different.

Americans were fighting under a unified authority against an offshore power. The French were faction fighting for control of their own system.

The Americans were fighting because their industry was doing very well. The French were fighting because they were starving...or at least that was the pretext.

Basically, the French Revolution was antifa, with the expected post-revolution results.

Yep. The pretext was a little thin, but people bought it. What was actually happening was an insurrection to bring down the authority of the monarchy and the Church in one fell swoop. It was pressed for in secret boys clubs like the Illuminati and the Freemasons all over Europe and is documented extensively by several contemporary texts such as "Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism" by Augustin Barruel, a French exile living in England at the time and close cohort of the famous Edmund Burke, founder of modern conservatism.

Same shit happened to the Tsar in Russia to kick of the Bolshevik takeover.

I'll bet I could guess but can you point me to the evidence instead?
