If the American military is being paid by a private individual, America no longer has a military

Andrew Weinstein @andrewjweinstein.com · 22h

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Same congenital liar whose claim that “they cheated on the election” was rejected by over SIXTY courts. Trump literally can’t handle this truth so - good fascist that he is - he tries to drown it in a sea of lies -- that this was "AI".
Reagan . . . despised . . . tariffs.

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social · 1d

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

And just think, if these wonderful benevolent billionaires would just pay their share of taxes we might not even be having a government shut down.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

If we had a news media they could tell the public that corporations and billionaires are BUYING favorable treatment by a President who sells favorable treatment, and at the same time, they're cutting services to the poor and middle class, and will hollow out the country to feed the super-rich.

Why is no one else asking what happened to everything in the East Wing - art, photos, furniture, historical treasures? To properly store everything would take weeks, yet there were no reports of this happening. So much history! Where is it!!

Pat Bagley @bagleycartoons.bsky.social · 2d

What happened to all the art, furniture and priceless historical treasures that were in the East Wing?

Did Trump just give it away to his buddies? Is it at Mar-a-Lago? Did Jared and Ivana just help themselves to it?

No one knows

Wouldn’t be surprised. It’s mind-boggling how it’s been crickets from Stewart McLaurin - president of the WH Historical Association, as the despicable orange buffoon has been doing such irreversible damage to the most important historic structure on the national register. It‘s been beyond shameful.

Trump's obsession with persecuting Sen. Adam Schiff is tearing him apart.

And Trump literally ordered Pam Bondi to go after him in a public comment that he meant to be private. But the prosecutor just declined to indict because there is no evidence of a crime.

He publicly threatens & demands via “truth-social” that bondi go after his perceived enemies, then when confronted during one of his daily Oval office preening sessions, feigns ignorance when said enemies are baselessly indicted. Pre-Wiles, he’d loudly spew - but now it’s all “plausible deniability”

Mrs Obama‘s Kitchen Garden not only yielded fresh produce used by WH chefs to cook healthy meals for the First Family, it also produced more than enough seasonal produce for State Dinners & tons of fresh produce routinely donated to local D.C Food Banks. There was also WH honey from their WH beehive

She’s a huge part of the problem. She’s his trainer; coaching him on how to more effectively triangulate & gaslight. How to feign ignorance, bat his lashes, pretend to be “christian” & “care” about children dying & lives lost - all while he doesn‘t give a hoot & is brazenly grifting off said deaths.

False. More importantly, every historic structure - especially that supposedly “full of asbestos and lead” must go through extensive environmental review & follow very specific protocol if to be taken down. None of which happened in this instance. This was about slick preemptive destruction/removal.

They tents are actually gorgeous, well decorated temporary structures. Not just regular tents. Once inside, you’d never know they were “tents”/temporary structures & more than serve the purpose especially with fewer state dinners & even fewer events with large(r) crowds that SS rightly discourages.

surrealnth.bsky.social @surrealnth.bsky.social · 2d

False. This was one of the best maintained structures. Meticulously kept & updated by a dedicated committee. For health & safety reasons & other legal issues, FLOTUS’ & staff would’ve been long moved out if there was a mold problem. The bldg wouldn't be so carelessly demolished if asbestos present.

First thing that needs to happen, when Trump, Vance & Co have been removed from power is: We need to wreck this shitty "ballroom" of Trump's, and reconstruct the historic East Wing of the White House.

Fuck this asshole and his endless need to piss-mark the territory.
