Trump desecrated the Capitol building on January 6th, now he's moving on to the White House. It's just another metaphor for his desecration and destruction of the country.

Excellent work on the No Kings demonstrations. Especially keeping it violence free.

Now, next step : make sure that every last protester over 18 is registered to vote in, and will show up for, the midterms. Each one of those votes will be absolutely crucial in taking back the House and Senate.

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

Very windy here in Maine too. Just had a big, heavy flower pot blow over near my front door. Crossing fingers that we don't lose electricity in this storm.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

The corruption, the destruction, the disrespect for everything the United States was founded on.

Trump has got to be neutralized before he destroys everything. If you haven't registered to vote do so, make your voice heard, take a stand in any way you are able. Unity is power.

This is what Trump is currently doing to the White House East Wing. Look at the broken and unusable windows destroyed and just hanging off their hinges. no attempt to save anything for re-use or history. Such respect for the People's house, eh?

And look at the White House windows fallen to the ground - not even an attempt to save anything for re-use or history.

American oligarchs expecting lots of favors from Trump. Corruption everyday in plain sight.

Trump has no respect for history
No respect for the people
No respect for law

He was supposed to get approval from the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) and the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA). Major White House renovations require it, but no one will stop him.

This is not Trump's house, it's the people's house. (and considering the video he posted yesterday we know what he thinks of the people of the U.S.) He respects nothing.

Maybe a reporter could bring that up sometime.

True Blue Sea @truebluesea.bsky.social · 21h

Mike Johnson is conveniently forgetting that on January 6th, Trump instigated a violent insurrection that ended with injuries and deaths and was OK with threats for his own Vice President to be hung in a gallows and with his supporters calls to kill Pelosi and others.

True Blue Sea @truebluesea.bsky.social · 21h

Trump hasn't called for murder yet, just jailing his political opponents. He's considering his other options right now.

Mike Johnson and his GOP cohorts have enabled a monster that they fear and are unable to control. They are willing to destroy the U.S. to feed the monster.

True Blue Sea @truebluesea.bsky.social · 21h

Mike Johnson thinks it appropriate that Trump sh*ts on American citizens. Why is that not surprising?

(Trump recently shared a video of himself as a King flying a plane and dropping his own sh*t on No Kings protesters.)

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 23h

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

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?

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

This is what the U.S. President thinks of you, fellow Americans. We have a sick President and V.P. and a complacent Congress.

Obviously Trump is scared sh*tless about all the No Kings protests. That is what he's really telling us with his AI video post.
