Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

Genuinely, the stated position of the Democratic Party should be that Trump was a constitutionally illegitimate president and that nothing that he did, or that the other two branches did under his presidency, is precedentially valid.
we're bringing back damnatio memoriae. the 45th and 47th presidencies were filled by, officially, no one
Naming US government property after a sitting President is anti-democratic and naming it *after yourself* is pathetic. Trump's name should be stripped from the Kennedy Center when he's out of office.

The Mayor was trying to hide something. Increasingly clear that his strategy was to use Trump's threat as an excuse to ramp up arrests of poor people in SF, and he likely assured Trump & billionaires that he'd do this without military help.
