Of course they're not providing details. They never will until someone leaks the info or the administration is gone.

"... pointing a weapon at bystanders..."
When has that ever been the norm in the U.S. when cops aren't involved with a crime in progress?
It's wrong on so many levels, I don't know where to begin ticking off the ways.

I'd rather someone steal the friezes. At least someone would have enjoyed them instead of no one being able to see them at all. Trump is a cad of the first order.

Okay, but...(playing devil's advocate here)...this economy needs everything we can give it. Small businesses that do most of their sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday need the financial shot. People with far less $$ for the holidays need the deals. Any ideas? Boycotting works for sure.

Demolished East Wing, a video of King Orange dumping human waste on No Kings protestors, and a Stoopid misspelling of Colombia.

We've got *such* a classy guy in the White House.

This is an astonishing presence in San Diego. I had good friends who lived there when I lived in L.A., and I just didn't associate the city with political activism. Boy, was I wrong... and now I'm very proud. Way to go, San Diego! Love, Tennessee

I'm sorry to report I privately thought this ceasefire wouldn't last. It's time now to kick Israeli ass with U.S. peacekeeping troops on the ground *everywhere*. I'm not anti-Israel; I'm anti-Netanyahu. I'm pro-Palestine and anti-Hamas. These people need to learn to live together.

Bravo, Mr. Prime Minister. Speaking as an American who cannot abide the current American administration, I am hopeful that your planning is a sound program that excludes anything remotely related to Trump and his toxicity. Keep on fighting; there are Americans who wish you were our leader. β€οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘
