Imagine thinking so little of yourself that you just let this half sentient rotten potato talk to you like this. I don't care if he's president, have some self respect.

There are echoes of Trump’s 2020 election denialism in the Reflecting Pool debacle. In both cases he concocted ego salving nonsense to cover for his failure and then railed against loyalist senior DOJ lawyers who were unable/unwilling to pursue baseless legal actions to vindicate his fantasies.
I missed this the other day. "The ending of the tours comes after a volunteer tour guide was featured in a New York Times article detailing President Trump’s gutting of the iconic cultural institution." I hate him so much. He fills me with bile. It cannot be good for me.

BS. Hamilton’s spinning in his grave He focused on credit, nat’l reputation, reliability As he said: “To see the character of the Government & the country so sported with, exposed to so indelible a blot puts my heart to the torture…Is there a constitutional defect in the American mind?” Maybe so.
Aaron RuparBessent: "President Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton could not have imagined the economy that we would have created. It is the envy of the world."
Trump says he’s ordered another new bombing campaign that will definitely force Iran to surrender this time. It won’t but a lot more people will die and a lot more damage will be done. www.wsj.com/world/middle...
This report is a must read -- @thesteadystate.org has a number of former CT officers -- and we are all very, very worried......
Pam SpauldingMSNOW @deadlinewh.bsky.social reports the Trump regime "has weakened America’s counterterrorism defenses by downsizing staff, politicizing intel, cutting grants & forcing fed agents to focus on immigration enforcement," in a new report by D lawmakers... 📺 youtu.be/mjaTEb5u3Vs?...
It was 114 degrees today and this strip that is being swept by the Phoenix Police is directly next to a shelter that provides food and supplies to folks who are unhoused.
The renaming of everything and the removal of Trump’s name and face from it all will be a huge celebration after this administration.
There's no reason a politician should have a better healthcare plan than any of their constituents regardless of military service. I say this as a Veteran.
rain-singerTrump would rather withdraw Blanche's nomination than give up his slush fund for Jan 6 rioters & his sweetheart immunity deal that prevents anyone from scrutinizing his, his family's, or his businesses' taxes. Tells you what this nomination was really about: protecting Trump.
