The Trump regime has an incredibly sophisticated and widespread propaganda machine behind it—from Fox News to techno-fascist owned social media—yet it’s still losing the messaging war, because no amount of propaganda will ever overcome the constant stream of lies and shit they’re spewing every day.

people voted for a guy who in the last couple of days posted a video fantasy of himself shitting on americans, torn down the fucking east wing, and declared that the treasury has to pay him $230 million for reasons.

And Lemon, it's Tuesday.

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want?

TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.

Here's the thing I don't understand. You can't as much as sneeze near a historic site in Washington without like 14 commissions, councils, and advisory boards giving you the okay. And everybody now is like...yup, fine with us? wtf?

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Good quote in this NYT article on Trump seeking $230 million in “compensation” from DOJ: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Lawyers said the nature of the claims posed undeniable ethics challenges.

“What a travesty,” said Bennett L. Gershman, an ethics professor at Pace University. “The ethical conflict is just so basic and fundamental, you don’t need a law professor to explain it.”

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

The Leverage cast seeing the Louvre heist and collectively posting, "Not it," is the whimsy we deserve.

No other U.S. president has used the military as their own personal police force against the American people.

We implore the courts to reject Donald Trump's ongoing, illegal actions and definitively affirm states' sovereign right to handle public safety matters.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

Been wrong before but demolishing part of the White House while prices rise, the government is shut down, and health premiums are about to go through the roof? Might break through

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.
