A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

The ballroom is such an obvious winning political issue for Dems, it’s breathtaking how little they want to talk about it. It will be ugly, omnipresent, a literal metaphor for Trump‘s disinterest in doing anything that actually helps American voters. Run on it, you fucking morons.
Only 24% approve, and less than half of Republicans, of demolition at White House

The Platner stuff is evidence that people don’t want authenticity, they want certain signifiers of what they believe authentic proletariat look like. He’s a private school graduate who volunteered to serve in an imperial expeditionary force for fun and got a Nazi tattoo, can we be real here.

no. not being mad about a corrupt pedophile CEO turned self-crowned god king building a monument to his own ego using open corporate bribes makes me a better leftist than you, silly goose.
“Don’t be mad that he demolished the east wing of the White House, be mad for a better reason like—“

Stop that.

Let people be mad at Trump for whatever reason moves them. Anger at Trump is good. Don’t police people’s reasons. We can all be mad at him together.

“What, you ask, will that grand structure be called? Did you have to ask? According to the pledge agreement sent to donors, they’ll be contributing to the construction of ‘The Donald J. Trump Ballroom at the White House.’”

Our House Was a Very, Very, Very Fine House
Trump views the physical history of the White House much as he views the nation’s laws: something to be swept aside at will.

"Stop trusting your lying eyes. Also it sucked shit anyways."
Fox News' John Roberts, reacting to White House demolition: "It's telephoto compression. So it looks like there's less left than there really is. The entire colonnade of the East Wing, it looks like, is still in shape... it really wasn't much to look at. We'll see if it changes with Pres. Trump."

Top concern of 3% of voters, and every single one of them employed by a major national publication.
Hard to overstate lack of salience of trans issue in new Washington Post/Schar poll of Virginia

It actually went down in importance since their last poll

It is top concern of 3% of voters

This is after months of ads and posts about it

Economy top concern at 18%

basically all this shit is Roberts' fault, because the immunity made Trump feel like he could break the law as much as he wants without consequences. bsky.app/profile/jayw...
Here's a fun little nugget from Trump's demand that DOJ pay him, personally, $250 million: In his memo, he argues that prosecutors "should have foreseen" that he has "immunity from prosecution for officials acts." Thank you John Roberts, great rule of law-ing, sir! static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

Cuomo has went all in on the anti Arab and anti Muslim rhetoric and decided to laugh along to a "Mamdani would support 9/11" joke.
