Oh? … I’m sure it’s all fine. Our national heritage is probably safely stashed in a Mar-a-Lago toilet.
Has anyone confirmed that the priceless items in the East Wing were moved out before he demolished it?

Republicans’ reaction to Trump wrecking the East Wing tells you all you need about their protection of confederate monuments … it was NEVER “preserving heritage” … it was protecting racists’ feelings (just like they’re protecting accused pedophiles now, and wrecking the country)
If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

One of my neighbors sold me a car for $10K. I sell him a pen for $1, then add $9,999 to the price to “keep it fair.”
Yes, the tariff “formula” is literally that stupid.
The 🍊con & his Republican enablers are not THAT stupid.
They are short-selling the USA as they wreck it.

trump’s reaction (or lack thereof) to the attempt on the lives of gov. shapiro and his family ON PASSOVER is why it’s journalism malpractice to credulously report ANYTHING he does as being in service of fighting antisemitism.
