MAYBE THE NATIONAL GUARD SHOULD BE STOPPING TRUMP FROM LITERALLY TEARING DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE?!?
Reposted by S(pooky)
The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

It’s kind of wild that after seven million people were in the streets protesting, the president posted a hallucinated video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on Americans and then proceeded to start demolishing parts of the White House

Trump using a Chinese* excavator to destroy the White House is a bit on the nose as metaphors go.

*Volvo is owned by Geely Holding, a Chinese company.

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."

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on making public transit accessible: "I think the way that you move around the city, it influences the way in which you see the city. Too often if you're riding around only in a car with tinted windows, the only New Yorker you might see is a reflection of yourself."
Zohran Mamdani, the Internet’s Mayor
Mere months ago, New York’s mayoral front-runner was polling right next to “Someone Else.” He spoke to WIRED about building a social media machine, Big Tech capitulation, and learning from Eric Adams.

Now that Trump has illegally bombed a seventh boat in the Caribbean, please note this: Rep Adam Smith, ranking Dem on Armed Services, tells me that *at no point* have officials given lawmakers even the most basic information about these extrajudicial murders:

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.
If the Democrats were smart (I know, I know, assuming facts not in evidence, but hear me out) they'd run 30 seconds of this footage, without any commentary, as an ad.
She's not allowed to discharge any of the duties of her office until she's sworn in to do the job her constituents duly elected her to do.

Conservatives don’t know what satire is, it’s a word Rush Limbaugh taught them to say whenever they can’t justify or defend something bsky.app/profile/atru...
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.

"Regardless of what you think of the messages contained therein, No Kings offered visual evidence that huge numbers of people oppose President Trump. This was one vivid expression of a vital truth of our political moment: Most Americans don’t like Trump and don’t like what he’s doing."
No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response.
Turnout was enormous. There was no violence. And the wannabe king is triggered.

Charlie Kirk's murder really has become a one-size-fits-all excuse for the right.

No matter what they want to do -- crack down on free speech, let Trump rule like a king, even gerrymander their states* -- they point to Kirk's assassination and pretend it was all about their current grievance.
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."

"The evil Jew is funding the entire US left" is a piece of rank, obvious antisemitism that we have just collectively decided to accept in public, because IOKYR.
Ernst: "I think it is extremely important that we look at who is funding these protests. We have to get to the bottom of this. It could be the usual suspect -- George Soros."
