I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

I remember when Obama put up some art, and the Fox News crowd went batshit insane accusing him of "desecrating the sanctity of the White House."

I'm an LA girl. As much as I hate Treinen, I can't bring myself to root against the rest of the team. Well, maybe Kershaw.

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

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

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Hilarious that Republicans are calling “No Kings” anti-America when the whole point of the United States of America is literally NO KINGS.

For the record, the judges and staff of our federal courts are working without pay,

but Congress is being paid without working.

I am infuriated by the preposterousness of these ridiculous times.
