Disgusting! He doesn’t own the building!

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

Who is tRump: Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde? He wants the killing stopped in the Ukraine but supports killing in Gaza. Plus, he kills people in boats in the Caribbean without knowing who they are and wants to invade Venezuela to stop drugs entering USA. So, stop drug consumption & drugs will stop coming.

Don’t you love how tRump thinks that 7 million protesters are not representative of the USA. He said all those signs were paid by Soros. Well, remember when tRump came down the escalator in 2015? All those “supporters” were paid from a local talent agency. With tRump, it’s projection or confession.

This is a waste of time. BTW, this wasn’t a full pardon, thus still convicted!

Of all the people CNN could’ve platformed to tell a personal redemption story, they chose the least authentic and deserving person in America for their dwindling audience.

Is this double, triple, or quadruple speak? Jesus spoke strongly against hypocrites, particularly the religious leaders of his time, for their outward show of piety that hid their internal corruption and disregard for justice and mercy. I thought the Speaker viewed the Bible as a guide?

KARL: I mean, you could swear in Adelita Grijalva tomorrow, right?

MIKE JOHNSON: No, not tomorrow. We couldn't. We wouldn't.

Why does the President use the official White House social media account to post juvenile, sophomoric, narcissistic AI generated videos that are actual FAKE news? BTW, at taxpayer expense!

Most Presidents who achieved the office due to assassination were not sworn in by the Chief Justice. Why should this be different for a person elected from a Special Election?

Dr. Jack Brown @drjackbrown.bsky.social · 2d

The rule that the Speaker of the House has sole discretion as to when members of Congress are sworn-in to office is obviously flawed AF.

Once election results are recognized and certified, any active judge should be allowed to swear representatives into office.

Speaker Mike Johnson said that there was hateful rhetoric against tRump like “fascist must die”. How is that about tRump if he isn’t a fascist? So, is this an example of confession? So, according to the Speaker, tRump is a fascist?

Which one is the real criminal: George Santos or James Comey? Grifter vs. former FBI Director? Obviously, tRump rewards the worst and vilifies the best. I may have my issues with Comey, but come on!

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect & defend the Constitution of the United States." This is what tRump agreed to do but, he fails the “preserve, protect, & defend” part!

When the people fear the government it is tyranny. But when the government fear the people it is liberty. Heard this morning from Leader Jeffries on Velshi, MSNBC.

Remember when Biden funded infrastructure projects in Red States? Now, not only is Trump taking credit for those projects but is now canceling funded projects in Blue States. Another example of vindictive retribution. He was elected by 49.8% of those who voted, not a majority.

NNSA was a target of DOGE, people were fired, then some were reinstated, and Republicans are concerned that due to the shutdown, that 80% of their staff could be let go. They should not have messed with this important agency to begin with. Republicans put our nation at risk!

Was the tRump pre-meeting call with Putin before the next day meeting with Zelenskyy to get marching orders/talking points?

19naxos07.bsky.social @19naxos07.bsky.social · 3d

So, $40 billion to Argentina, but we could not afford $32 billion for USAID? The funding of USAID would have had a higher rate of return and most beneficial to USA soft power. SAD!

Just got confirmation from a relative that all the “willow” trees on the Kennedy Center promenade have been cut down. Everything tRump touches dies, even trees!

19naxos07.bsky.social @19naxos07.bsky.social · 5d

So, tariffs on cooking oil? What is next, underwear, deodorant, toothpaste, bottle water, spray tan, condoms? This is manipulation that tRump signals to friends in the financial markets to take advantage of market volatility. Oh, only the corporations and rich can make these trades.

19naxos07.bsky.social @19naxos07.bsky.social · 5d

Why is it ok for Republicans to deplete the Treasury in July by making permanent tRump tax cuts expiring in December yet unwilling to extend ACA subsidies in October that will expire at the same time as those tax cuts? Oh, one is for the corporations & rich, the other for lower classes. Got it!

Does the Republican House of Representatives Leadership have nothing to do since they have been gone for almost 3 weeks? Are they now grifting Americans for their pay? Republicans are wasting $750,000 a week on Republican members payroll, over $2 million thus far.

America first?: $20 billion to Argentina, blowing boats out of international waters, billions of dollars to Israel, supporting foreign soybean farmers while doing harm to USA economy, destroying USA farmers, closing the government and repressing freedoms for Americans while grifting them. SAD!

Remember when politics in the USA ended at our shores, tRump continues to bad mouth Biden overseas, and today in the Israel parliament. It is disgustingly vile.

19naxos07.bsky.social @19naxos07.bsky.social · 7d

Folks: insurrection act passed in 1807 and the bill of rights (2nd Amendment) was ratified in 1791. So, if the President invokes the insurrection act, the military should be given 1791 armaments, I.e., a musket.

Why does the Prime Minister of Italy cover her mouth during the Pakistani Leader speech? Is she sick or laughing?

19naxos07.bsky.social @19naxos07.bsky.social · 7d

Too bad this man doesn’t have a few million dollars that he could buy a pardon from tRump! All other rich people do it!
