I agree. Arguing about the right word to describe the mess we are in is a waste of time.

Watching you guys argue semantics is like listening to the band on the Titanic playing "Nearer My God To Thee"....

Billionaires thinking racist AI slop is "humor" instead of finding it to be low-brow, tasteless propaganda that's beneath them is how you can tell we don't live in a meritocracy

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Trump has been pulling this demolition shit since he was a NY developer

He’d get building permits contingent on reservations that were spelled out. Then he’d just bulldoze the whole thing

When the city sued he’d donate to NY politicians to make it all go away

Ever the crooked slime

Donald Trump Jr. just said, “If he was a king, he probably would’ve never left office the first time.”

Newsflash: he already tried — with tear gas, gallows, and flags flying over broken windows.

This is a great target!!

Target the corporations that, Trump says, are paying for the ballroom.

Brian Beutler @brianbeutler.bsky.social · 3d

Which corporate entities paid for the demolition of the White House as a bribe to the felon Donald Trump? We need names.

Brian Beutler @brianbeutler.bsky.social · 3d

“Can you imagine if Obama had bulldozed the W…” NO. We just need leaders who respond the way Republicans would have responded if Obama had bulldozed the White House to build himself a palace ballroom. Removal from office. Criminal prosecution. Confiscate Mar a Lago. Sell it to finance rebuilding.
