So I guess Elon Musk decided that though his chatbot is the shittiest one out there, if he lets it generate porn it will rocket to the top. Cool, should work out great for everyone.

DC does not have a triumphal arch, despite all its other Roman architecture, because they are an imperial and not a republican symbol. They became reserved for the Caesars, and the Arc de Triomphe is a monument to Napoleon. If this dumb thing gets built, the only acceptable course is to demolish it.
Congress should stop this.
Also, if Trump wants to enjoy an imitation of the Arc de Triomphe done in a style and at a place congenial to him, he can visit the Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang, completed in 1982.

I say that if Trump does sue artists who refuse to perform at the Kennedy Center, they should show up to perform and do something really boring.
For instance, just do John Cage's "4'33", but for a whole hour.

I had to go on X to check that this DHS post, showing this image and wording, is real. It is. The people running the regime are irretrievably evil.
This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

![Recently redacted Epstein testimony, along with its unreacted version. The unreacted version reads:
"[A]nother friend ... was one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump ... She confided in me about her casual 'friendship' with Donald. Mr. Trump definitely seemed to have a thing for her and she told me how he kept going on about how he liked her 'pert nipples'. Donald Trump liked flicking and sucking her nipples until they were raw. One evening when we were showering together she showed me her nipples. They looked incredibly painful as they were red and swollen and I remember wincing when I looked at them. I also know she had sexual relations with Trump at Jeffery's NY mansion on regular occasions as I once met Jen for coffee, just before she was going to meet Trump and Epstein together at his mansion."
