The constant refrain of “Release the Epstein List” is perfect revenge to the guy who screamed “SHOW YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE” with the added benefit of the List being a real issue and the birth certificate being bullshit and the original sin of trumps mental demise.

BREAKING: Ninth Circuit panel, on a 2-1 vote, allows Trump to deploy National Guard troops in Portland during litigation. Both judges siding with Trump were appointed by Trump in his first term.

Background at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/the-trials...
Before: Susan P. Graber, Ryan D. Nelson, and Bridget S. Bade, Circuit Judges. Concurrence by Judge R. Nelson; Dissent by Judge Graber. PER CURIAM: Defendants-Appellants, President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, in their official capacities, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (collectively, Defendants), seek an emergency stay of the district court’s October 4, 2025 temporary restraining order (TRO) enjoining the President’s Case: 25-6268, 10/20/2025, DktEntry: 61.1, Page 2 of 93 order to federalize 200 members of the Oregon National Guard for 60 days to protect federal personnel and property at the Lindquist Building, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon. After considering the record at this preliminary stage, we conclude that it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. § 12406(3), which authorizes the federalization of the National Guard when “the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.” The evidence the President relied on reflects a “colorable assessment of the facts and law within a ‘range of honest judgment.’” Newsom v. Trump, 141 F.4th 1032, 1051 (9th Cir. 2025) (per curiam) (quoting Sterling v. Constantin, 287 U.S. 378, 399 (1932)). We thus conclude that Defendants are likely to succeed on the merits of their appeal, and that the other stay factors weigh in their favor. We grant Defendants’ motion for a stay pending appeal.

When Trump turned the historic Post Office on Pennsylvania Avenue into a hotel, he immediately violated the preservation rules and also the prohibition against profiting from selling access to the Presidency.
It’s the great secret of the sociopath— once you’ve done it, it’s too late to stop you.

per nps.gov,

"The White House is a National Park

The White House is owned by the American people and stewarded by the National Park Service. It is more than the President's residence; it is a site for protests and national discourse about what it means to be American."

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.
