Did anyone spot moving vans outside the White House recently that could have been used to remove precious, historic furniture, mantel pieces, fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, and portraits from the East Wing to safety?

Ordinarily, we wouldn't care about a candidate's high school - unless he's from the elite world of Bushes and Roosevelts and Kennedys, selling himself as a humble common man. Platner was picked up this summer by political interests and packaged for this race. It's fake. 4/

Decades before Trump took a bulldozer to the East Wing, the longtime real estate developer reportedly had no problem smashing irreplaceable art in New York City.

GROTESQUE! I'm going to venture to guess that there also will be gold lettering that adorn this "modernized ballroom" in the east portion of THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE!

Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure.

Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized.

Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

BREAKING: The top federal prosecutor in Maryland has reportedly notified Pam Bondi that she sees no basis for Indicting Adam Schiff on mortgage fraud.

Who wants to bet that the prosecutor will be fired within days, and a new prosecutor will seek to indict Schiff regardless?

3️⃣ Edgar Ruiz — Chicago, IL

ICE agents tased this U.S. citizen in the face. His brother (also a citizen) was detained too. They weren’t “mistakenly” caught up — they were brutalized. This is what unchecked power looks like.

Reminder:
Trump disbanded the DOJ team that investigated crypto fraud, while owning a crypto company, right before he held a contest to see who could bribe him the most by buying his meme coin, netting him $148 million.

The most corrupt administration ever.

President Trump is reportedly trucking dirt from his White House demolition to a D.C. golf course he plans to take over.

If any other president was doing this kind of thing in office, they’d be eviscerated with accusations of greed, or at least a lack of focus. trib.al/qO0IuIn
