It would be really cool if someone other than Trump’s friends started owning media.

Someone please buy it.

How long are we going to keep pretending that the fascist Trump regime is not a cabal of Nazis? Texts from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, reveal vile pro-Nazi and racist messages targeting Black people, Chinese people, and Indian people. 👇

The guy Trump picked to lead the office that’s now investigating Jack Smith:

— said Niki Haley is ineligible to be president
— has neo-Nazi ties
— was Andrew Tate’s lawyer
— 2x Claremont fellow
— wrote for Gateway Pundit
— called for Pence to be hanged
— called for secession after 2020 election

White House treasures were bulldozed from history.

While millions of Americans confront threats to healthcare and experience reductions in funding for food security and disaster relief, Trump spends hundreds of millions of dollars to build a throne room for himself.

Seems fitting for Trump to destroy the WH the day after he poured feces over the American people.

Republicans are afraid to say no to the POTUS so Trump's Make America Great Again authoritarian takeover is going splendidly.

One day people will figure out that replacing street crime with a criminal police state is a really really bad tradeoff. Look at N. Korea, then consider that Trump wants to take us there.

Doing this with an excavator is quite something. It's what you do with rotten old barns. Every piece of wood and brick in that would be valuable to history fans.

Also, using a Volvo (made in South Korea) rather than Caterpillar? I hate patriotism, but even I'm amazed.

The current two-storey East Wing was added in 1942 primarily to hide the construction of an underground bunker.

So Trump and Vance are now admitting thy think Trump is the king of America? I have news for them both, we got rid of a tyrannical made king 250 years ago. We are not going to let this country be ruled by a tyrannical made king now. These guys belong in a mental asylum.

7 million Americans were like “this man acts like a king and treats half the country like shit and we’re sick of it,” to which Trump responded by *literally* shitting on them all and Vance responded by crowning Trump as king… and the newspapers were like “wow strong response from Trump and Vance.”

The distilling image of what is happening to this country as demolition begins at the White House to prepare for Trump's rumpus room. #Politics #demolition #WhiteHouse
A large excavator is demolishing part of the East Wing of the White House to prepare for Donald Trump’s new ballroom, with significant debris scattered on the ground in front. Several construction workers wearing safety vests and helmets are present in the scene, and a temporary wooden barricade is set up along a metal fence in the foreground. The upper portion of a grand, classical-style building, likely a government building, appears in the background.

That is the "People's House," not one of his fucking properties. This pisses me off beyond words. It shouldn't be allowed. After promising that the fat fuck's little ballroom wouldn't hurt the structure of the Whitehouse, those idjits have begun demolishing part of the East wing...😡
