Compound interest on your savings does add up.
Sadly more people need to know it.

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

He is doing everything we warned you would happen, things that he said he would do. But even you were trying to assure us that there would be guardrails despite what you were reporting.

Exactly no one does any of that by mistake. The mistake is thinking people outside of their bubble / chatrooms would also think it was cool. When in the real world people are horrified.

Nice

Corrupt, illegal and a slam dunk impeachable offense. If only the Democrats wanted a win.

It is if you have not been paying attention and paying attention is your job. BTW this is just "another" theft by Trump. Try to keep up.

It really is. Like what the heck.

You have been listening or reading what Trump has been saying? Trump keeps saying Civil War is on and sending troops to Blue States or cities is the plan.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

#Ugh🤢✅

Seriously, what part of Don't Vote to Help NAZIs!!! Does @schiff.senate.gov not understand? Ugh.

Hear is a better headline:

The Party, that claimed taking down Confederate Monuments would destroy History are now destroying / defacing the (one of the) Most Historic Building in America. With not a peep about saving history.

The same people who said don't take down confederate monuments even...

The Angry Old Geek @angryoldgeek.bsky.social · 1d

I think the people who made the "app" don't want people to leave work or "vacation" or relax at all.

The Angry Old Geek @angryoldgeek.bsky.social · 1d

The same people that were all "You can't take down Confederate Monuments or we will forget history!" Those people sure are quiet about the destruction of an actual historical building & monument.

The Angry Old Geek @angryoldgeek.bsky.social · 1d

WIthout having to actually take vacation people can now work more without rest?

The Angry Old Geek @angryoldgeek.bsky.social · 1d

I am very interested over the lack of outrage from my congresspeople in DC:
@rokhanna.bsky.social
@schiff.senate.gov
@padilla.senate.gov

Nothing? Crickets?

The Angry Old Geek @angryoldgeek.bsky.social · 1d

So, the MAGA NAZI Racists who said we can't take down Confederate Monuments or we will forget history sure are quiet about the destruction & Desecration of the #WhiteHouse which is actually a very historic monument to History by Trump.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

For those that forget Trump is out to destroy America at all levels including historical monuments & buildings.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU
