Retired, veteran, sarcastically cynical. If you need more info, ask and I'll think about it.

That seems to be their policy. They also keep pushing the envelope because the other branches of government are complacent.

That's why the Ds have to win elections and their feet held to the fire to ensure accountability.

DeSantis will declare Mar-a-Lago a State sanitarium after DjT deeds it in trust to the State of Florida and he'll be its sole resident and the Florida taxpayers will pick up the tab for maintenance, food, etc.

They seem to want to obfuscate the details.

Wouldn't something like this need Senate approval?

I was always instructed by JAGs that when you violate someone's Constitutional Rights, you are no longer operating in the scope of your employment.

Meaning: You're on your own!

Got it from Google:
"Location: The facility will be built at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in southwestern Idaho, a site already used by the Singaporean Air Force for similar joint training operations"

Although I have caught Google lying on two occasions.

They are building it within an existing base, Mountain Home.
Singapore already has a presence there.

Does he believe this or does he ( or someone else ) post this to irritate people?

I probably hate to say it but if the State SC sets a new fine, they will probably start the clock ticking again from that point.
And he'll duck that too.
By the time the dust settles he'll be declared non compos mentis and all charges dropped for lack of sanity

Samuel Johnson: Coined the phrase "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" in 1775.
Mark Twain: Repeated the sentiment, phrasing it as "Patriotism is usually the refuge of the scoundrel" and adding, "He is the man who talks the loudest

It's a typical response I've been hearing for decades "Why do you hate America?"

Last time some right winger said it to me was back in 2008 when I told him I supported Obama.
He asked me that.
So I told him I have 4 Honorable Discharges from the military, what've you got?
He never said it again.
