Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

Rotterdam, kijk hier eens goed naar! Algeheel verbod is ook een goed idee. Op het trottoir word ik regelmatig afgesneden door jochies op fatbikes, ben het spuugzat!

Even better than it was on its first appearance last year, Katy Rudd’s playful spectacular turns Noel Streatfeild’s 1936 novel into a modern masterpiece of a family show.

This can hardly surprise anyone. With a secretary of health who suggests vaccines cause autism it’s obvious America has become very unsafe and no one in his right mind will visit that country until the Trump administration has gone
This is disgusting.

Ronald Reagan refused to acknowledge the AIDS crisis. Even refused to help his "friend from the Hollywood days" Rock Hudson.

George W. Bush waited 7 years to recognize World AIDS Day.

And now we are back to a POS GOP POTUS who will ignore it.

Trump reminds me more and more of Idi Amin and I could never, in my wildest dreams, have ever thought that any American President could remind me of that psychopath who fed his opponents to crocodiles
There was a time when the United States looked down its nose at the countries in South America for being lawless banana republics. Who's the banana republic now, bitches?

2016 happened. Russia did support Trump’s campaign. Good reporters were on it at the time. I wrote it up within the larger context of global oligarchy and neo-fascism in "Road to Unfreedom."
9 years ago,House Speaker Paul Ryan, and Speaker to be Kevin McCarthy had a recorded conversation in which McCarthy says, "There are two people that I think Putin pays, (Representative Dana) Rohrbacher and Trump. Swear to God."

Don’t get demoralized. Get even.

A judge in Georgia dismissed the last pending criminal prosecution against President Trump on Wednesday, effectively ending efforts to hold him criminally responsible for attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
