It continues to amaze me that MAGA voters haven't figured out that the Republican Party doesn't care if you live or die...and never will.

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

Trump didn’t get the funding from oligarchs to destroy our WH because he was trying to save taxpayer money. He knew that Congress was not going to fund it, & even making the ask would have given the public advance notice and led to hearings. He wanted to do it like a King would.

The company brought Junior in right after the election as part owner. They just won the largest drone motor contract awarded by the Pentagon.

The Pentagon said Friday that the US is sending an aircraft carrier strike group to the waters off Latin America, an escalation that will dramatically increase the number of service members and ships dedicated to the Trump's violations in international waters. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-airc...

Maybe we should all apply and then wash out of the academy.

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

The signing bonus also prompted discussions internally because it’s not contingent on a key part of the hiring process, which is passing the academy, another source said. Even candidates who don’t pass the academy and are slotted for administrative jobs are still pocketing thousands of dollars.

WELL THAT BACKFIRED:

TESLA revenues for the 3 months to the end of Sept hit a record $28bn (£21bn), up 12% from same time last year (due to incentives).

But the company's profits dropped by 37% for same period, partly due to extra costs linked to tariffs and research.

If he is not locked up briefly (24 hours) he is not going to understand the severity of his conduct, nor will anyone in his entire organization.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
