Hear is a better headline:

The Party, that claimed taking down Confederate Monuments would destroy History are now destroying / defacing the (one of the) Most Historic Building in America. With not a peep about saving history.

The same people who said don't take down confederate monuments even...

The Angry Old Geek @angryoldgeek.bsky.social · 11h

I think the people who made the "app" don't want people to leave work or "vacation" or relax at all.

The Angry Old Geek @angryoldgeek.bsky.social · 11h

The same people that were all "You can't take down Confederate Monuments or we will forget history!" Those people sure are quiet about the destruction of an actual historical building & monument.

WIthout having to actually take vacation people can now work more without rest?

I am very interested over the lack of outrage from my congresspeople in DC:
@rokhanna.bsky.social
@schiff.senate.gov
@padilla.senate.gov

Nothing? Crickets?

So, the MAGA NAZI Racists who said we can't take down Confederate Monuments or we will forget history sure are quiet about the destruction & Desecration of the #WhiteHouse which is actually a very historic monument to History by Trump.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

For those that forget Trump is out to destroy America at all levels including historical monuments & buildings.

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

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

I did like the original D20 Modern though the GammaWorld version needed another pass or two. Though I did run some at a local convention. Before reverting to classic 1st ed GammaWorld.

It is weird what the MAGA crowd thinks owns the libs. Showing off their own setup like every accusation is a confession.

Good thing the military isn't woke anymore and is willing to take the fight to our enemies, like Colombian fisherman and Interstate 5.

Shitting on Americans while dressed as a king. That point seems to be missed by many.

mtsw @mtsw.bsky.social · 2d

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

lewd conduct is so often used when there is actually no crime but the police want to abuse their power.

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al.
A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
3 cops on a 53 yo woman.
