There sure seem to be a lot of MAGAts completely fine with a big beautiful ballroom. The same people who don't want science-based wellness information, lifesaving care for the uninsured or visitors, safe food, drugs, water, air, education b/c $. But a ballroom and overpaid GestapoICE is just fine.

Any idea where all the destroyed materials are being dumped? In the nearest waterway, like the Potomac?

The White House is provided by taxpayers for the president and family. It doesn't belong to them. They shouldn't be making major changes even if he was really personally footing the bill, which is a bullshit lie.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

You know what worries me now? That he will decide to set fire to our most treasured documents.

Well, the Epstein files are sacred to MAGA Republicans.

59 years ago today - On the 21st of October 1966, the Aberfan disaster occurred.

116 children and 28 adults were killed as a coal tip landslide engulfed Pantglas School and other buildings.

It’s a scar that all Welsh people carry with them.

Never forget the price of coal.

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants.

"What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

(RNS) - Last Friday (Oct. 17), the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister in the Chicago area, stood alongside other protesters demonstrating outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. As a line of Illinois State Police began marching toward her and other demonstrators, gripping wooden batons, footage shows the pastor with her hands raised in prayer.
Officers then pushed into the protesters, forcing them back.
One officer shifted his stance, reared back and began shoving his baton like a battering ram - jamming it repeatedly, Kardon says, into her leg. A few seconds later, the pastor was pulled from the crowd and thrown to the ground.
All the while, Kardon says, she never stopped praying. When officers began to arrest her, they tied her arms behind her back and placed her along the curb.
"I said, 'God, please help these people to know that what they're doing is wrong, and help them to turn around," Kardon, who leads United Church of Rogers Park in Chicago, said in an interview. Her leg, she said, has developed visible bruises.

Defensive shooting while using the loaded gun to break the window of a vehicle? Was the window attacking the untrained gun-wielding idiot?
