Trump has made a habit of extortion. Now he is extorting the US government itself—demanding that the Justice Department pay him $230 million.
Trump to DOJ: Pay Up
The goal is not just dictatorial power, but the ostentatious performance of dictatorial power.

Also someone needs to explain to, not just Rappoport (who is an idiot), but a lot of other people too, that the premise of democratic socialism is not that everyone is poor but that everyone can have nice things and afford an occasional date night out

The biggest renovation of the White House -- the so-called Truman Reconstruction of 1949-1952 -- came about only because the building was in such a state of disrepair that inspectors decided it was unsafe for occupancy.

Not because the president just decided he needed a big fancy ballroom.

President began demolishing the East Wing of the WH to build there his $200M+ ballroom.

East Wing was built in 1942 during the presidency of FDR. It was constructed to cover the bunker that he used during WWII and the President's Emergency Operations Center.

been reading a lot of medieval English history recently and it's instructive as to why the Anglo political tradition evolved away from monarchy. every 4th king or so would turn out to be a murderous lunatic, people got sick of it
it is kind of interesting how not only do they openly yearn for monarchy, but they also want a system of monarchy more absolute than almost any of the historical reference points where the president can tax, spend, declare war, even suspend habeas corpus at will
Johnson blames the No Kings protests. Says “it is quite ironic.” Johnson says “if President Trump was a king” the government would be open.

Actually Jesus is not the king of America, sorry if this offends
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

So it's ok for Trump to do "satire" but not for Colbert or Kimmel or any other late night show?
Mike Johnson on President Trump posting an AI video of him flying a jet dumping feces on Americans in NYC:

"The president uses social media to make a point.... He is using satire to make a point."
