@caitlindeangelis.bsky.social Thanks for this information on the architect firm. Sounds like this is another half-assed Trump project destined to go bankrupt, along with the country, consistent with the trajectory of his career prior to becoming a TV star.

I was curious about the architecture firm designing the theoretical ballroom, so I went to their website.

It is just one page playing nine images (some renderings, some photos?) on a loop.

The entire website fits in one screenshot.

He is extremely explicit that the killings will continue indefinitely.

SecDef announcing another (9th) lethal strike, again in the Pacific against an unspecified "designated terrorist organization."

Claims these "DTOs are the 'Al Qaeda' of our hemisphere.

Nope.

No armed attack on US like 9/11.

No AUMF.

No armed conflict.

Just more lawless premeditated killing.

Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out yet another lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO). Yet again, the now-deceased terrorists were engaged in narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.

The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and was carrying narcotics. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. All three terrorists were killed and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.

These strikes will continue, day after day. These are not simply drug runners—these are narco-terrorists bringing death and destruction to our cities. These DTOs are the “Al Qaeda” of our hemisphere and will not escape justice. We will find them and kill them, until the threat to the American people is extinguished.

And he calls everyone a lunatic- a clear projection of his dim awareness that everything he says is a lie or a delusion (of grandeur).

And remind him that in the U.S. all thrones flush! Thanks to someone who had this on their sign on NoKings2.

Lockheed Martin- makes sense. We have a trillion dollar military budget so they give a few crumbs back- of your money and mine- to demolish the East Wing of the White House. What a country.

The regime rolls forward likely into WW3. Their tenuous grip on reality permits them to think they have cards to play. Trump is now infected with the standard variety Russophobia that pervades our national government, and under the influence of all those weapons producers' lobbyists.

And imperialism and military spending, especially on weapons that are outdated or just don’t work, is what got us here.

Mayor Brandon Johnson has it right- time for a general strike. Trump regime only understands being hurt economically.

Trump won’t pay for health care, education, or a federal government budget.

But Trump will build a brand new $200 million ballroom for himself and his donors.

It’s clear what Trump’s priorities are—and the American people are not on that list.

www.thenation.com/article/worl... We have a model in the 1980s anti-apartheid mobilizations against South Africa. The U. S. vetoed resolutions at the Security Council, dismissed General Assembly resolutions..., until enough individual governments, under pressure... acted on their own.

The Ceasefire Has Not Ended the Genocide

As Israel continues to launch air strikes on Gaza, the weakness of both the ceasefire and Trump’s 20-point plan are becoming ever clearer.

As a veteran with multiple combat tours, this “No Kings” poster touched my heart more than any of the other hundreds of great signs I saw this weekend

Love this lady so much for honoring her veteran and the cause he died for

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.
