Yes, the president's so-called "priorities."

“At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the President’s main priority.” — Karoline Leavitt

Not wages, education, utility bills, health care, housing, food insecurity, veterans, child care, climate disasters, tariffs, national security, or a gov shutdown.

A ballroom.

We are experiencing end-stage American democracy. The Mad Orange King and his evil flying monkeys have successfully destroyed our system of three co-equal government branches, along with the East Wing of the People's House. This is pure madness.

It's clear from today's AP photos that Trump has entirely demolished the East Colonnade—added to the White House by Thomas Jefferson in 1805—and restored by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902.

The East Colonnade didn't occupy the footprint of the Trump "ballroom"—its demolition was completely unnecessary.

This is pure gold. You just know that panic-stricken grifter-in-law Jared is thinking, "YOU IDIOT! SHUT THE FUCK UP! WE NEVER, EVER DISCUSS THE PLAN!"

WATCH: “A MASTER PLAN”

Usually stoic Kushner silently panics as Witkoff spills the beans on the Trump regime’s war profiteering in Gaza - they’ve been working on for ‘TWO YEARS’🤔

(But don’t worry, apparently $50 Billion is “not a lot of money”! 💰🙃)

PSA: This slip-up should be a big deal.

So what. As long as it's not dishonest editing, it's entirely appropriate. And do you even know who runs 60 Minutes and CBS?

At this point the Malignant Mango Miscreant could hold public executions of his perceived enemies on the front lawn of what's left of the White House and no one would stop him.

The most grotesquely corrupt president and administration in American history. Sen. Elizabeth Warren described the trump presidency as "an orgy of corruption."

The White House McDonald’s menu will feature a Big Mac, Quarter Pounder with Cheese, and Filet-O-Fish processed in a blender and served as a shake, as the porcine president prefers.

Trump/Wright/Burgum make war on a livable earth for their corrupt slimy oil cronies. Meet the Petro States destroying the economy and the future - U.S, Saudi, UAE, Russia.

Trump takes aim at European climate law after killing UN shipping fee

Once again the United States is using its economic might to pressure other countries to back down from an effort to limit greenhouse gas pollution.

Climate-wise, we're fucked. The planet will plow-through multiple tipping points with high temperatures and extreme weather events causing massive crop failures and ocean life die-offs, leading to worldwide famine. We are entering the F-zone on this timeline. Buckle-up.

By the way, "mansplaining" is when a man tries to explain something to a woman in a condescending manner that implies she has difficulty understanding simple facts or concepts. It's a combination of the words "man" and "explaining." I hope this helps you, as you seem to need it.

North Carolina Republithugs are guilty of such egregious racist gerrymandering that they once split a majority black university in half with a congressional district line.

How a Republican plan to split a Black college campus backfired

Gerrymandering divided North Carolina A&T State University in two. Now, united under a single district, students are voting in record numbers

I thought it might benefit those who saw your comment and didn't get it.
Should I mansplain that to you honey?

If we had a functioning Congress, it would be requiring Trump to (1) Provide a complete list of all people/countries/corporations/mafia providing bribes, ur, “donations” for his tacky ballroom; and (2) An audited accounting of where all the money goes.

Porn addict Masturbatin' Mike Johnson is the most slappable politician in America right now.
Someone needs to hack the activity log for the app he and his son use to control their insatiable lust for porn. I bet he uses burner phones.

Speaker Mike Johnson's use of "Covenant Eyes" is even worse than it looks

The Christian "shameware" app was bad enough. The way Mike Johnson uses it raises even more questions.

Fox Newstitute Laura Ingraham inaccurately whines about the No Kings protestors being old, yet the median age of Fox "News" viewers is 68-70.

Madness.

"It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it, but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it."

Spent all day reading briefs in Louisiana v. Callais and watching white people argue that the 14th amendment is a race-neutral colorblind amendment and citing Plessy for that proposition has me so angry. Just.. come the fuck on.

The Reconstruction Amendments were not intended to be race-neutral.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.
