You know it’s bad when this is like the 4th or 5th worst Republican scandal of the day.

Trump’s priorities:

Bulldozing the White House ✅
Reopening the government ❌

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 13h

Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House to build President Trump’s long-desired ballroom — despite his pledge that construction of the $250 million addition wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing building. https://wapo.st/4hl7jyF

So, per reporting from Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng, in today’s new ‘First Draft’ newsletter, Trump tried to get a newly-divorced Russ Vought, Project 2025 architect & now budget chief, laid at Mar-a-Lago.

The details are, ahem, as crude as you’d expect from Trump.

Yes, mook. The President of the United States was effective at conveying to his nation that he wishes to dump feces on whatever plurality of its citizens are opposed to him and his policies. Statesmanship to remember alongside that of the greats. Leadership so rare.

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

Maybe he capitalized words unnecessarily because his state is ranked in the bottom 10 for education. Besides, he has to kiss Dear Leader's ass because he is afraid of what DL knows about him. Hmm. Wonder what that is?

There’s Nothing More Patriotic Than Dissent. Don’t Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise

Ahead of October 18th’s nationwide ‘No Kings’ Day, some Republican leaders tried desperately to rebrand the protest against President Trump’s policies, not just as un-American, but as anti-American. B...

Ugh. I was so enjoying that game - until I wasn't. Since I already had a major case of agita, I came over here to see what latest outrages were occurring, figuring it couldn't get much worse. I was wrong. 🤕

And... even more projection. Low IQ? Yes, we know what that really means in Trump-speak, but it's still projection.

Here's a great list of accounts who are connected to the current regime and are worthless for information or truth-telling. I had some of them blocked already, but we need to minimize their presence on here. Fire away!

Thanks so much. Had some of them blocked already. Since all they seem to post are nothing but attacks on Democrats and democracy itself, and to boot are all lies anyway, they are useless. Why give them any air? Going to share!!

Q: Did you tell Zelenskyy he needed to cede all of the Donbas region to Russia?

TRUMP: No. We think that what they should do is just stop at the lines where they are

Q: What do you think should happen w/ the Donbas?

T: I think 78% of the land is already taken by Russia. You leave it the way it is

Odd, how "We don't negotiate with terrorists" now means we just give them everything they want.

You can & should be critical of your government if it is failing to live up to its ideals. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. And if they tell you otherwise, then they are afraid of the power of your voice #Velshi
