Q: Mr. Johnson, you understand that you’re actually the Speaker of the House, correct?

A: I don’t know much about that. I just heard something about it this morning but don’t know the specifics.

"you were mad when trump used this language to lie about democrats. how do you justify using the same language now to tell the truth about republicans?"

get a load of this line of questioning from CBS's Margaret Brennan to Hakeem Jeffries aimed at bothsidesing election denial and gerrymandering

has anyone asked them where the contents of the building went? i would imagine aside from office stuff and furnishings, there was probably art in there that belongs to us.

It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

are the contents of the building in the rubble?? (this also seems like a natl security risk, documentwise, but we're well past that)

The 2016 campaign promise that Trump was going to run the country like his businesses (bankruptcy, legally dubious construction, constant lawsuits) really came true!

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Elisheva Avital @elisheva.bsky.social · 7d

this is the first time in a while ive been truly overwhelmed by it. martial law in cities, murdering fishermen, prosecuting enemies, stealing 230 million dollars, demolishing the white house

1

Elisheva Avital @elisheva.bsky.social · 7d

but also like- that was a huge building full of offices and stuff. when did they move all that stuff out? did they just demolish it in situ???? (clearly melania has no need for an on-site office)

i'm watching @arimelber.bsky.social and they're on the 230 million dollars he's trying to steal, but, forgive me, demolishing the white house feels like it should lead

trump is never planning to leave the presidency.

he is knocking down the building to build a behemoth that would take years even under normal conditions.

there's also no clearer way to say i'm not leaving, i'm starting a multi-year construction project

oh yes, for sure. i just meant regarding the tattoo artist, they probably had different norms in croatia in those years for what they'd do.
