Ted finally deleted this lie over 24 hours later. Only the 900th time he has posted a fake right-wing internet lie. You would think a US Senator would take a few minutes to make sure these things are legit, but we are talking about Ted Cruz.

There may be enough ambient heat and moisture in the area that steaming the pants is no longer needed. Already tight around the cankles too.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

The Department of Homeland Security just spent over $170M in taxpayer funds to buy Kristi Noem two luxury Gulfstream jets.

Meanwhile, Trump's shutdown is threatening the paychecks and SNAP benefits of millions of Americans.

Secretary Cosplay is spending $200 million in taxpayer dollars for two luxury jets. Not one, but TWO!

Working families who are seeing their healthcare premiums and grocery bills rise are footing the bill for Noem's new props.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.
