the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Hmm, maybe @espn.com should take a break from all the over/under talk and prop bet BS while the NBA gambling scandal is still breaking news?

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?

Also it's "coming down the pike" (as in Turnpike) not "pipe"
Not to be THAT dictionary, but…
It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

If I've learned one thing from the past few years of #RedOctober, it's that "shadows" only ever affect the #Phillies hitters. Our opponents are always immune to shadows.

Forever incapable of listening to "The Dead Heart" by #MidnightOil - especially the last verse - without thinking of #CitizensUnited. Amazing that this fantastic song was written almost 25 years earlier. Thanks a lot, #SCOTUS!
