Their incompetence is our best hope.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

I don't think we should let it go that the president posted a video of himself shitting diarrhea on us. It should be on his wikipedia page
Right up there with the national security Signal chats in terms of general cluelessness.

Trump administration begins work on giant metaphor
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Demolition of the East Wing has commenced to build Trump's $250 million ballroom.

Trump previously pledged that the ballroom would not interfere with the existing building.

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

There used to be entire architectural associations whose whole purpose was to lose their minds when someone tried to change the way the White House looked. Taller fence? Gasp! Close the street in front? Quelle horreur! Where'd they vanish to?

there's a metaphor for all time.
The irony is that he calls himself a Christian, but shills for the physical embodiment of the seven sins...

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

This…Trump’s behaviour is now so obscene that mainstream media in the US - and I might add the UK - have decided it must be hushed up.
as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility
