He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

People say I should stay away from politics
because I am autistic but at the end of the
day if you’re passionate about something
then you shouldn’t be silenced. People like
myself should be able to voice their opinion.

I’ve been writing about politics in some capacity for over 25 years now and it’s still stunning how the mainstream media refuses to tell the public basic truth

If you are thinking of buying a new vehicle, particularly a pickup, wait six months and head to cattle or farm areas to shop for one.

There are going to be some good deals.

This makes me sick.
That’s our House, our history.

The fact that it happened today stinks of retribution for Saturday.

@annabower.bsky.social can you text Lindsay and ask if she thinks her use of disappearing texts (and her use of Signal, generally) complies with data preservation rules under the Federal Records Act?
