The symbolism matters. Destroy it all such that the man has no lasting legacy but the shame he has brought the nation.
It’s low on the priority list when the Dems retake the White House but every change the orange pedophile has made need to be undone and changed back. Tear down the ballroom, rip up the concrete covering the rose garden. Rebuild the east wing and apparently rebuild the memorial reflecting pool too

It's happening in Europe, too, and it's a giant Russian op designed to create division among the ranks of pro-democracy coalition partners. It's not Palestinians who are being helped, it's VV Putin.
People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.

What we need right now are lawyers trying to figure out how we make this happen. We can't trust this SCOTUS not to quash it and the issues involved are highly technical.
We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Folks really don't understand how profoundly criminal this is under international law. It is yet another way in which this administration is contemptuous of human rights and that indiscriminate deportation is itself a crime against humanity.
“Ban all immigrants seeking refuge from persecution” is just a perfectly spot-on GOP Thanksgiving message
Republicans are now negative double digits on immigration.
So...this is their message on Thanksgiving.

Well, the thing this administration is good at is lying. And corruption. Everything they say is deeply dishonest.
This is a deeply unprofessional and illegal partisan statement from the Trump hack who's currently director of the CIA.
It's also deeply dishonest, because the decision to grant the shooter asylum here was made by the Trump administration.

Anecdotal of course, but I have been bombarded with Black Friday deals from shoe and apparel retailers this year. This sector is not doing well at all. And I think the last pair of shoes I bought was several months ago. Which is unusual for me. People are cutting discretionary spending.

This is why white folks are always so angry. See if you had some black friends you’d eat better.

Absolutely correct. Detrumpification, trials for the crimes, then reconstruction.

No disrespect to Mr. Takei, but I disagree. Most of them did indeed vote for this. That's what the "Mass Deportation Now" signs were about.

No, because everyone would just refile as an LLC in a state that doesn't care.
If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water.
Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state.
It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

She won the support of his delegates, which is how it works. People really need a civics education.
Obama feebly tried to stage an open convention. That would have been much, much better.
It was never clear to me why Democrats rallied around Harris so immediately, except for some weird notion on appearing unified.

I loathe Thiel the same way I loathe Bessent and Grenell: gay men who prove that we can be horrific humans. Each of them is vile, utterly lacking in empathy.
NEW: Peter Thiel, JD Vance’s top donor and one of Silicon Valley’s most powerful men, recently called Pope Leo XIV a tool of the Antichrist — and directly told the vice president not to listen to him.

I think this badly underestimates the number of us who want hangings.
There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

This is sobering reading for everyone who takes the national security of this country seriously. There is nothing to prevent Trump from using our nuclear arsenal. These are very perilous times, arguably more so than the 1980s.
This is a new and dire development in the ongoing American constitutional crisis. The voters, Congress, and, yes, the U.S. military must all now be more vigilant than at any time in our modern history.

Anyone care to bring receipts on this? Tom's characterization here is parody.
A very left senator who then laughed it up about about being a right-wing prosecutor who jailed people for weed, and then called Joe Biden a racist and tried to make an entire primary challenge out of that before being one of the first 2020 primary Dems to implode. Other than that, she was great.

I'm never going to regret standing by him up to the day he withdrew and then backing with enthusiasm his chosen successor. He deserved far better than he got.
He gave over 50 years of his life to serving our country, and in the end was betrayed by an ungrateful populace. He deserved better than what he got.
