>potemkin village
its like you dont even know what words mean

> The phrase originates from an 18th-century Russian legend. According to the story, Grigory Potemkin, a Russian field marshal and favorite of Empress Catherine the Great, ordered the construction of elaborate, beautifully painted facades along the Dnieper River in 1787. This was done to conceal the dilapidated, impoverished reality of the newly annexed region of Crimea from Catherine as she toured the area. While historians widely agree the scale of the deception was largely a myth, the legend endured as a synonym for deceit.

It literally runs for the next week you chink. I'll let you guess which day has the most attendees. I bet you didn't even know we do that every year and every year it looks like this at the beginning.

Its a fairground built on the national mall.

A potemkin village would be the sort of bullshit luxury housing projects socialists show you to keep you distracted from the ghettos.
