Who approved the demolition of the fucking White House?

Congress isn’t even in session.

One day the White House “ballroom” will be a museum cataloguing this country’s descent into autocracy, including horrors we have yet to see.

I grew up with kids fed by SNAP. In 4th grade, I stayed with a friend...woke up to snow covering our blanket, blown in through cracks in the wall. That’s what poverty looks like. And now Trump’s people want to cut that lifeline. Fuck Trump and every suit who thinks that’s leadership.

The Constitution is not self-enforcing.

The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms.

And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People.

No one is coming to save us.

It's entirely up to us.

I should probably have just published this in the morning, but I had some thoughts about the East Wing — particularly given something Trump said during his 2020 speech accepting the GOP nomination. www.pbump.net/o/the-presid...

The president has never understood that the White House (and government) aren’t his

Even if only intuitively, Donald Trump knows that the White House is a storehouse of power. He understands that, like the government itself, it is an institution that our impartial democratic system h...

I know some might be tired of me repeating this, but it bears mentioning again and again....

Trump is not leaving office.

They are going to go for martial law if it looks likely that the GOP will lose the House.

You just have to listen to them.

SecDef announcing another (9th) lethal strike, again in the Pacific against an unspecified "designated terrorist organization."

Claims these "DTOs are the 'Al Qaeda' of our hemisphere.

Nope.

No armed attack on US like 9/11.

No AUMF.

No armed conflict.

Just more lawless premeditated killing.

Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out yet another lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO). Yet again, the now-deceased terrorists were engaged in narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.

The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and was carrying narcotics. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. All three terrorists were killed and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.

These strikes will continue, day after day. These are not simply drug runners—these are narco-terrorists bringing death and destruction to our cities. These DTOs are the “Al Qaeda” of our hemisphere and will not escape justice. We will find them and kill them, until the threat to the American people is extinguished.

There is no going back and putting ducktape on old institutions after this.

Maybe the symbolism of seeing the destruction of the White House made some people finally realize that "the midterms" aren't going to fix this.

The old USA that we knew has been broken.

So what new are we building next?

That is ridiculous. He is the 2nd highest ranking Dem. Him not voting for the Dem candidate is grotesquely hypocritical. You cannot simultaneously be receiving the huge salary he gets as leader & have NOTHING expected from you.

I do not ever want to hear some Blue Sheeple say "Vote Blue no matter who" ever again. Mamdani IS the DEM candidate. Jeffries is the leader of the Democrats in Congress. FUBAR

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

this is eerie. there is a photo somewhere of Trump & Ivana Trump, now of the 19th hole Bedminster, in the Winter Palace around 1987. It's been incubating all that time.

The Senate Democrats haven't posted an original stand alone post on here for 25 days.

They just refuse to believe communication is important. They will not do the work that's required to keep voters or get new ones. We cannot win with this attitude.
