Know what was in the East Wing?

The First Lady’s offices and 80+ years of First Lady history. Eleanor Roosevelt. Mamie Eisenhower. Jacqueline Kennedy. Laura Bush. Michelle Obama.

Gone.

Wanna bet that’s why Trump chose it? Ain’t like Melania is using it.

When Trump said “We fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore”, they attacked the capitol. What do democrats do? We send 7 million people on silly parades. We missed the target. And today he is literally tearing down the White House.

Well, the America that republicans want DID exist. We progressives are trying to get away from that and achieve the Promise of the Constitution.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

No, a new US Congressperson must be sworn in by the Speaker of the House, as outlined in 2 U.S. Code § 25. Federal law requires the Speaker to administer the oath to all members and delegates.

Both parties AREN’T the same. When Trump said “We fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore”, they attacked the capitol.

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

Peter Diamandis tweets: "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them."

Elon Musk replies: "Working will be optional in the future.

There will be universal high income."

Wow, didn’t know this existed and haven’t heard of Byam. Was a big fan of Grell’s GA, and this has a very similar design style and cover, and sounds like a similarly serious tone!

If you missed this yesterday, it’s just as jaw-dropping a read today. The quotes are really something.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

I think everyone knew exactly what point Trump was making dropping shit on Americans.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

The Speaker of the House: “Trump isn’t a King yet, but he should be if you want the government to function!”

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Mike Johnson: "The irony was that they called it the No Kings Rally, but if President Trump was a king, the government would be open. If President Trump was a king, he would've closed the nationals parks and the National Mall so they couldn't of had the rally out here."

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

“Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.” Everything about this is so cursed. Masks off at the University of Oxford.

The second Oakeshott Lecture of 2025 - with perennially viral tech philosopher Curtis Yarvin and eminent historian David Starkey

In the second Oakeshott (formerly Scruton) Lecture, Curtis Yarvin will address the End of the End of History in the Post-Cold War Era.

A former software developer, Curtis Yarvin came to international prominence under the pen-name Mencius Moldbug as a critic of contemporary democracy. An avid promoter of technocracy and critic of ‘the Cathedral’, Yarvin has become an influential figure on the American right - a reliably controversial voice and a confidante of JD Vance and Peter Thiel.

Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.

ACTION is needed! Haven’t we learned anything from ten years of “hope”?

Posts from trumps social media are official statements. That was established during his first term. Therefore, he literally views himself as king, and is mocking protesters, whom he has repeatedly said are his and America’s enemies. Therefore is one way forward.

Today should be his last.

From the CringeTikToks community on Reddit: Trump posts insane video of himself as a king flying a jet that drops feces on protestors below. Seriously
