“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

- former First Lady Betty Ford

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

And there it is. The Bribery Ballroom is cover. He's razing the East Wing to upgrade his spider hole.

Because when he steals the election next year, or cancels it outright, he knows we'll make No Kings look like a PTA meeting.

He's terrified.

Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Tear-gassed high schoolers thrown in a van, driven off, released hours later.

High school kid? US citizen.

Kavanaugh High.

Like DeGrassi, but with chemical munitions thrown by an unhinged CBP commander.

Trump’s agents have detained innocent American citizens and residents, from children asleep in their homes to an Alderman’s staffers.

All demanding proof of citizenship, without probable cause, with only the victim’s skin color as a reason.

This isn't about crime or safety.

Border Patrol Agents Detain 2 City Employees During ‘Lawless’ Little Village Raids, Ald. Rodriguez Says

“These federal agents are operating lawlessly, demonstrating utter disregard for our constitutional rights,” Ald. Mike Rodriguez (22nd Ward) said.

There will be no SNAP next month if the shutdown continues. Republicans keep dicking around and they’re hurting people in order to negotiate to hurt people more. When your entire platform is hurting people, I don’t think you’re going to the heaven you believe in.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.
