Funny thing about the Republicans' Potemkin village is that it's ALL entirely fucked up. They can't even get the fake facade right.

For #APEC , #SanFrancisco has transformed itself into a #PotemkinVillage.

I hear that the city cleaned up its transit cars and stations, and rided its streets of homeless camps, drug needles, and human feces.

The many foreign visitors might never know how filthy and dysfunctional #SF usually is every day.

As the dust settles on the #coronation, @nesrinemalik sets out its role as a #potemkinvillage to hide the significant problems that the UK's ruling elite have no real interest in solving;

this was a classic weekend of the politics of distraction.

ooohhh look at these shiny things & forget your trip to the #foodbank tomorrow

In Russia, facade is everything. Many have long since seen through the act, but few are willing to give up the pleasant illusion.

Buildings, videos, pictures and texts present Russians with a world that doesn’t exist: Putin’s Potemkin Village.
