The noise of the excuses made by Mike Johnson for his foot dragging procrastination in swearing in Adelita Grijalva evoke a scene from one of Shakespeare's plays. "...full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

I find this so hard to comprehend...why? why? Don't say you are a religious "good" person if you are the one on the side watching and you know "someone" is wrong. Also, don't say you are a patriot or love your country and watch what is being done. Just know...YOU DON'T,

It’s beyond pathetic. The mainstream media, on the whole, is comprised of feckless cowards and shameless hypocrites.

Don’t forget the hundreds of smaller rallies in red counties where Trump won.

I'm surprised how sad I feel. The entire East Wing is to be demolished, despite its historical protection/significance. Such a visible representation of Trump destroying the very edifice of our democracy & in its place putting fake-gold trashiness that will serve only the elite of his choosing.

Trump says 'existing structure' of White House East Wing to be torn down

The US president previously said that his $250m (£186m) ballroom addition would not "interfere with the current building".

Just sick about this all day. I well remember my tour of the White House in 1981 as I was on my way out of the country to work for 3 years abroad. He might as well dig up Arlington cemetery too while he's at it.

A palette of blues reflecting.

A sunset over a lake. The horizon has some remnants of yellow and orange. Then waves of varying colors of blue cascade up into the night sky. All of the colors are reflected in the calm cold waters. Dark silhouettes of trees can be seen along the shore.

How are my peeps doing tonight?
That East Wing thing is gnawing on me.
What if he takes a sledgehammer to the White House itself?
It's a symbol that he and we are out of control.
Yet, no-one but you and I, appear to give half a shit.
It's really hard to process that we're here, right now.

It’s far from the most important thing, morally right now, or in terms of the human stakes, but the ballroom thing is really breaking my brain.

The Louvre failed to spot a gang of thieves early enough to stop the theft of €88m (£76m) worth of French crown jewels

Laurence des Cars, speaking publicly for the first time since the heist on Sunday, told French senators that CCTV around the Louvre's perimeter was weak and "aging".

Because that’s assault and anyone who does that can be sued. Also, doing that is exactly what trump and Miller want because then they can start claiming Dems are being violent. The more Johnson refuses to do his job and keeps coming up with excuses, the more obvious it becomes that it’s a coverup.
