Private, non-profit org. Don’t think they have any say. The entire govt is currently controlled by the demented moron.

Oh, shit. Hadn’t heard about that. Defacing public buildings is all his narcissism trying to exact revenge/power.

"Yes, yes, it *is* sad that you lost the family farm, but have you heard about the big beautiful ballroom that President Trump is building at the White House? It's going cost a quarter of a billion dollars! Yes, billion, with a b. ... What? ... No, you can't come see it. What a stupid question."

Meanwhile, Kusher is travelling around as an unofficial diplomat, making deals for Trump Org and himself while calling it US foreign policy.

The ‘enormous conflict of interest’ at centre of Jared Kushner’s Gaza ceasefire deal

US president’s son-in-law was instrumental in getting deal – which could bring him huge windfall if plan to redevelop Gaza ever comes to fruition

The most unbelievable thing is not that feeble moron is ruining the country but how many Americans stand with him in its destruction.

The U.S. won’t be recognizable after he’s gone. Rose Garden turned into a Mar a Lago-style cafe, East Wing turned into a secret documents storage facility, Oval Office into a cheesy gold room, people turned into uneducated poor, the Constitution turned into meaningless paper. #ETTD

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

Trump: "I think China is in big trouble. I'll be honest with you. I don't know that they even make it."

Now he’s saying he made an agreement to buy Argentina beef. And that’s suppose to bring down consumer prices in the U.S. Once again, U.S. farmers will be the losers. But hey, Donnie can do it and he likes their president.
Awesome.

“If I can”
“I happen to like”

What a total prick. I happen to despise this fricken criminal.

Ok, the kid shouldn’t have stolen his glasses. But that old guy showed up, waving his middle fingers and shouting MAGA garbage, clearly trying to provoke a reaction. Ta-da, it worked. Then the macho putz doesn’t know when to quit. 🎻

That’ll be Hegseth in a few years.

In 2024 said he would encourage Russia to do “whatever the hell they want”. Why do people think he didn’t mean it?
Besides, he’s too busy flying his AI shit-dumping jet over America to bother with Ukraine.

Debra Barcon @debrabarcon.bsky.social · 2d

Any chance Americans will be made aware of the online behavior of their president tonight. This can’t be acceptable.

Now if protest participants can just turn today’s solidarity into votes and Congressional action, things could change.
Good job everyone!

You know how you tell today’s rallies were pro-democracy? The participants didn’t leave piles of garbage behind.

Picture of parking lot covered with trash after a Trump rally.

Debra Barcon @debrabarcon.bsky.social · 2d

Donald loves his large crowds. Somehow I doubt today’s crowds will please him. Beware, his revenge gene is going to kick in biggly. Ketchup is probably already flying.

Debra Barcon @debrabarcon.bsky.social · 2d

The U.S. is clearly a country that doesn’t approve of Donald Trump or his many loyalists destroying its freedoms and democracy. Millions protesting the corruption, lawlessness, racism, hate of the regime occupying the WH.

Works for me. Trump’s SSI has already stopped my overseas payments. Years of my contributions being held to fund whatever he wants. Disgusting.

BTW, I voted YES on Prop 50 today. So fu*k him.
