DC Building Department to the rescue. Let’s hope they didn’t get the right permits.

Donald Trump had two (2) state dinners in his first presidency but he really needs that ballroom. We all know its main use will be as a platinum level bribe reward.

And he only has that luxury because of those principles that have guided our society for centuries. Another 20 years of Trump and we would be in Mad Max territory, where a fat old bullshit artist like Trump wouldn’t last a day.

I didn’t say he liked 6M people marching against him. But he likes the King accusation. He would hate if worse if it was No Dementia or No Imbeciles or No Diapers.

“This is not about drugs, it’s not about Venezuela, it’s not about anything else but this new assertion by the president that the U.S. military will kill anyone he points at, for any reason he deems sufficient.”

Very true and very scary comment by Tom Nichols.

This is an administration that does not understand our Constitution or legal traditions dating back at least 800 years to the Magna Carta. It is just about the ratings and likes, for a tabloid celebrity in the WH, a former beauty queen in the DOJ.

When Trump announced 4 days ago randomly that India agreed to stop buying Russia oil, I was surprised because Russia is their largest supplier, we are still in a trade war with India, and their govt has said nothing about it. Turns out he just lied and made it up. Shocker.

Beyer: I don’t like to do ad hominem attacks, but I’ve served with four different speakers. This is the fifth one—by far the weakest speaker, I think, in American history.

It's this photo if you missed it, savaging the East Wing to make a vanity ballroom.

Trump using a Chinese* excavator to destroy the White House is a bit on the nose as metaphors go.

*Volvo is owned by Geely Holding, a Chinese company.

He is creating some great symbols that will haunt him when his policies begin to effect more people.

Trump loves the King accusation, as you could see when he denied the charge with an air of false modesty. This baits him into reinforcing the accusation, like his diarrhea dump. Only a small minority are really down for King Trump, but enough to continually remind that the threat is real.

Pete Hegseth conducted a live fire exercise over I-5 as part of a made-for-Fox stunt for him and Vance which had a misfire that struck a Highway Patrol vehicle and could have killed people?

Who could have foreseen this?

As long as we can count on the Fed to buy up assets whenever they need a lift. Holdings currently equal about 15% of S&P 500 value. Party on!

Let’s not forget baby boomers have been plowing money into retirement savings for the past 50 years and will be drawing those accounts down for the next 20.

The WH steals people’s property constantly and never asks permission. Another example of Trump acting like a king.
