If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Guys we’re not moving on from the “demolition of the East Wing.” No one gives a shit about the holiday decoration tours, so stop publishing WH press releases and do some journalism.

"Some Democrats have also raised concerns about its legality," the story reads, just before quoting a Republican expert who says that this is illegal, citing the relevant law that it violates.

Come *ON* reporters, do better.
It's transparently illegal. Say that.

Probably would be easier for Jews to leave their beautiful tradition behind. Plenty of Christians left their beautiful tradition behind when it became clear Christianity would not police itself regarding child abuse.

The idea that these are public resources over which he has been improvidently granted a limited and temporary stewardship role is totally alien to him. As far as he is concerned, they’re his personal chattels.

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

Thing that hurt while I watched Mamdani is speak is seeing how much this personally hurts him.

He's young. He really is very young. I am not saying that as a critique. I'm saying that this still hurts like a fresh fucking wound for him.

I mean I'm 57, and I can feel it the same goddamn way...
