Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
Su-prise, su-prise, su-prise … (Gomer Pyle’s trademark expression for the younger people here.)

Good lord! The Democrats are still being purists about their candidates - We learn nothing.
Hegseth has problematic tattoos, Roger Stone has Nixon on his back, and some of Trump’s best friends have racist symbols inked on their bodies.
Did we learn nothing after we sacrificed Sen. Al Franken?
I’m need a new computer. Mine is 10 years old. I’ve had an Apple since mid 1990s. After Tim Cook’s groveling before Trump, I will buy a PC.
I’ll save money and I won’t be supporting a company’s CEO who has his nose so far up Trump‘s rectum, he’s causing Trump sinus problems.
Cook is a slimy toad.

Let’s call it what it is: murder

As if disobeying his own SCROTUS's 9-0 rulings against him didn't show the world where he stood on law and order and The Constitution.

That was clearly the object, I thought, since this demolition began, especially after WAPO released a picture of the yesterday.
So enraged at Trump and complicit Republicans for this, the murders in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the kidnapping of immigrants, the brutalization of our country.
As usual, Trump is talking out of his ass. It’s when he gets his best work done.
If Trump ordered the Republican lawmakers to let him sleep with their wives, they’d ask him, “How many times, sir?”
Of course it did. Why focus on the biggest political protest in the country’s history?

There were probably many horrible things that Trump did that The New York Times needed to “both sides.”
Sorry to argue but Indivisible announced in a phone call last night that it was seven million.

I know it’s hard to determine exact numbers, but if the organizers of the protest provide an attendance number, it makes sense to use it.

Mine haven’t arrived yet, but I did have a flock of robins pass through for water and a snack.
So proud of my city!!
ICE tries it with NYC. Canal Street wasn’t having it.

RENOVATIONS AT THE WHITE HOUSE?

Surely you can tiptoe more than this. Why not just call the destruction “minor decoration” or a bit of “fall DIY”?

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social
With reason. Between murdering people at sea, posting a video of himself dumping shit all over Americans and tearing down the White House, Trump has entered a new phase of vile, despicable and illegal behavior.
Yes. To all of what you wrote.
