God, you must create a special Hell for anyone who would do this. Note he waited until after No Kings Day to break his promise that the original structure wouldn’t be affected. Trump is so pissed that he’s destroying something Americans love out of revenge. Yes,damn him!
Doesn’t it make you wonder why the Democrats are not totally pissed and yelling about. Looks like they are surrendering to let the dictator do what he wants.
What about the Republicans? Dump is the leader of their party and the GOP controls everything. Congressional Repukes stay silent as Dump continues his rampage. The GOP is to blame for this destruction of America.
Rachel Maddow led w/ this story last night. Then spent 30min showing protests in ALL 50 states, then interviewed Ezra Levin, then interviewed Erica Chenowith (who very rarely gives interviews to the media) It was Awesome! should be on youtube by now. I agree about the media, I have been shaming them all about it since the 1st protest in March-we need to continue to tell them WE Are THE NEWS!!
You know what I find interesting. It wasn't that long ago someone was tossing bags out of a window at the WH. Donald said that those windows couldn't be opened, they are bulletproof, and they weigh 600 lbs. I see a window wide open in this picture.
Everything this moron says is a lie (other than I'm not getting into heaven) and everything he does is in the interest of evil. Every single day I wake up wondering what bullfuckery awaits from this flapdoodle. This has simultaneously been the longest and fastest ten months in history.
These people seem to know a lot about hell. They have made hell on earth for all of us. The fact that nobody is stopping him from destroying the White House is appalling.
Who could? The House of Representatives? They're on "indefinite furlough" until Trumpty Dumpty says they can come back. The Senate? They're actually probably pretty busy, since they're the only ones still doing anything, apparently. :-/
It might be considered a little too late now...and he doesn't listen to court orders anyway. It doesn't mean much without enforcement. :(
And I wouldn't trust that asshat to know about actually /building/ (or repairing) anything... X-P
On the other hand, if he does take out any load-bearing structural support walls, he's gonna have to listen to SOMEBODY, even if it's the Laws of Nature, who don't care how much money's involved or people's political party. ;)
Couldn't someone file an order in court to block the demolition? It wouldn't take the whole of Congress to do that. Anyone could challenge this in court. If at the very least to delay it for a while.
Dear God…when will this insanity end? I wake up each morning and wonder what else did drump crap on? I attended a No Kings rally and it was very heartening. I can’t wait to attend another. I will be on the post No Kings call later today. We need to keep our momentum going!
And when this regime finally falls, and it will, let’s tear them all down and return it back to the people it belongs to. Us. Remove his name from every building and monument, confiscate every asset from him, his family and every traitor who supported him and use it to rebuild our government for the common good.
this is the way. this brings hope. we will tear down everything he built. can you imagine the rejoicing in heaven (Jackie-O) when we unpave paradise and replant her beloved rose garden?
trump is old, mentally ill and physically rotting from the inside. He will NEVER live long enough to see these projects come to completion. I hope for "breaking News..." everyday. That his last breath, is his LAST breath.
Which is what leads me to think that he's deliberately destroying America purposely. Why? Who knows, but I'm sure Putin's sense of revenge for us being indirectly (/directly?) responsible for the downfall of the U.S.S.R. and his fun li'l power base, so he had to make another one (I actually don't think Putey-Wutey wants to recreate the Soviet Union, I think he wants to recreate the Russian Empire with him on top as the new czar) probably had something to do with it. X-P
And then along came this chuckle-headed half-wit, needing a lot of money... X-P
He's a seething toddler ball of lifelong anger. He doesn't want peace, he doesn't want solutions — he wants to promise such things then see them fail, horribly.
He just wants retribution; the entire planet is his enemy. He wants to see it roiling in endless pain and suffering and hopefully violent death (but not his own; he's probably spending a fortune on a desperate scrabble for longevity).
Not just the US but the whole planet. Money is just his scoreboard.
He’s uprooting the Constitution, rule of law with help of SCOTUS. He’s eliminating arts with facts (remaking Smithsonian in the image of his “ideal” America where enslaved and indigenous people are erased and forcing the Kennedy Center has his mark. He ripped out the Rose Garden and put down a boring patio. Old trees that could talk of history are gone for the golden ballroom*, and the beautiful Willows no doubt wept as they were reduced to stumps at the KenCen. (It was said by him/them the Willows were a “security risk”.) I wonder what companies are doing the work & if they got paid ahead of the work. I’d never want to work with those who erase history.
No one is stopping him. Everyone lets him do as he pleases. So God, a little rainstorm or more wouldn’t hoit to slow it down & sink the ballroom.
*About the ballroom: would love to see plans to see if even warming kitchen for food prep or if all the food will be schlepped from WH kitchens. And restrooms? Allowed?
Kitchens? No need. All the food will be brought in straight from the Muckas and Kentucky Fried he'll build where the "rose" garden used to be. All the drink will be Diet Coke and filthy water from Bobby's dipping swamps. Served on and in gold-daubed polystyrene.
The picture of the White House in a state of partial demolition is the perfect symbol for Trump and what he as done to our country. He is the “everything he touches dies” president. The guy’s only move is to break stuff, which is why his whole strategy to take over the country is to try to incite violence. He’s begging for it, and assumes it is inevitable. He can’t fathom the idea of a peaceful protest as being effective. That’s why, of we keeps things peaceful, and follow the example of Portland, we will beat back this fascist and his toadies.
"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy -- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."
Thank you, God. Allow me to share these revelations from Robert Hubbell’s post today:
Trump’s remodeling of the White House is unlawful and based on lies—like almost every other aspect of his administration. While every president is allowed to make modifications to the interior living space of the White House, structural changes to the White House must be cleared through the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC).
Trump has not obtained approval from the NCPC for the demolition of portions of the East Wing or construction of the ballroom—which will increase the size of the existing White House complex by 60%.
Trump claimed that construction of the ballroom would not “touch” the existing White House complex. Trump said, “It’ll be near it but not touching it—and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”
As the photo in the WSJ article above shows, a portion of the East Wing has been torn down. In other words, Trump lied about the unlawful remodeling “not touching” the existing White House.
The White House does not belong to Trump, or to any president who resides in the White House during their presidency. And while modifications and modernization are necessary and appropriate from time to time, they are controlled by Congress and the NCPC (among other federal agencies).
Trump suggests that he is exempt from that oversight because he is (allegedly) using “private” money to fund the demolition and new construction. Even if true, there is nothing in the existing oversight scheme that creates an exception for “privately funded” modifications to federal buildings in D.C.
Trump is simply ignoring federal law and congressional oversight in desecrating “The People’s House.” In prior presidencies, Congress and the media would be in meltdown mode if a president violated federal law daily. The acquiescence and silence of corporate media in the face of Trump’s ongoing lawlessness is one of the great disappointments of this era.
But “we the people” are outraged and are not giving Trump a “free pass” to engage in unconstitutional behavior merely because he has done so in the past. We will add the desecration of the White House to our list of grievances for the next No Kings Day protest.
And when we learn which billionaire oligarch is funding the desecration of the White House, we should engage in a massive boycott of that billionaires source of wealth.
Is there any possibility that the NCPC could bring suit against the contractors who are tearing down what, by law, they cannot tear down? ( And why were they allowed to even start if they didn’t?) If nothing else, it might spur said contractors to cease. At best, it could spur them to, in turn, sue His Ignorance for nonpayment, because you know that would be the very next thing he doesn’t do.
I know that to someone who actually knows about this stuff this may sound ridiculous, but I am SO ANGRY!!! It’s just all I’ve got right now.
I hear you, sister and I share your outrage! 😖 I did a little googling on The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) and found this: The NCPC is a U.S. government executive branch agency that provides planning guidance for Washington, D.C. and the surrounding National Capital Region. Through its planning policies and review of development proposals, the Commission seeks to protect and enhance the resources of the U.S. national capital.
🤔 Hmmm. As an agency of the Executive Branch, it appears the NCOC falls under Dump’s control and cannot sue. The NCOC is currently closed due to the shutdown (how convenient), so Dump was easily able to bypass the normal approval channels to start the demolition of the White House East Wing.
I've just stopped buying anything but necessities-of course being destitute helps. I get what I can at the local food pantry, use my whopping $24/mo. SNAP benefits at Aldi's. My daughter that I live with has been out of work since June, but DonOld orange ass still gets his Big Macs every day (when the f#@k will that unalive him?). Every billionaire can kiss my ass.
Jennifer, I agree wholeheartedly and send you a big hug from SoCal. These times are bad for everyone except the top 1%. And Dump is just getting started! Ugh. 😑 To quote a sign I saw at No Kings: F*ck that F*cking F*cker. Hang in there, sister!
Next up on Dump’s “love me” building spree: The Arc de Trump (fashioned after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris). I shit you not. As described by Michael Cohen:
Across from the Lincoln Memorial, he’s planning the Arc de Trump; a marble monument to “250 years of American greatness.” The name alone tells you everything. It’s a triumphal arch meant to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary next year. Privately funded by his donors, it will stand as a monument not to democracy, but to dominance. The irony of building it within view of Lincoln; a man who preserved the Union, is almost too hard to imagine.
Dear God, I know we commonly believe that there are Seven Circles of Hell. Actually Dante said there are NINE and since he wrote the poem, he should know. BUT while Donny is destroying democracy and the economy, tearing down the East Wing, and planning his Triumphal Arch would you please get busy expanding Hell??? Maybe double the size? And "you know who" goes into the lowest level, ok? Thanks. Love you!
No applause, no praise, no cheering! No cries or screams from the downtrodden. No smug closed smirks from his growing horde of filthy rich and pasty descendants.
Just deadly silence, apart from the creaking of his corset and diaper, the occasional flaccid rustle of his Big Mac wrappers, the polystyrene creak of his underbum diet coke cups…
God, you must create a special Hell for anyone who would do this. Note he waited until after No Kings Day to break his promise that the original structure wouldn’t be affected. Trump is so pissed that he’s destroying something Americans love out of revenge. Yes,damn him!
The GOP would have asked for the 25th Amendment had any Democratic president done this
I agree with you 100%! Yeah, if President Obama and President Biden would have done that. The GOP would have gone ape shit!
Also, our media would have turned that into a major scandal. Because it’s the orange clown doing that. Our media will just sane wash the whole thing.
Doesn’t it make you wonder why the Democrats are not totally pissed and yelling about. Looks like they are surrendering to let the dictator do what he wants.
What about the Republicans? Dump is the leader of their party and the GOP controls everything. Congressional Repukes stay silent as Dump continues his rampage. The GOP is to blame for this destruction of America.
They are yelling but no one is covering it. NBC news gave the protest 10 seconds on Sunday night
Rachel Maddow led w/ this story last night. Then spent 30min showing protests in ALL 50 states, then interviewed Ezra Levin, then interviewed Erica Chenowith (who very rarely gives interviews to the media) It was Awesome! should be on youtube by now. I agree about the media, I have been shaming them all about it since the 1st protest in March-we need to continue to tell them WE Are THE NEWS!!
Yes. I saw. They are among the few that cover us 👹
You know what I find interesting. It wasn't that long ago someone was tossing bags out of a window at the WH. Donald said that those windows couldn't be opened, they are bulletproof, and they weigh 600 lbs. I see a window wide open in this picture.
Everything this moron says is a lie (other than I'm not getting into heaven) and everything he does is in the interest of evil. Every single day I wake up wondering what bullfuckery awaits from this flapdoodle. This has simultaneously been the longest and fastest ten months in history.
Great point!
If it helps people: Trump lies.
If it hurts people: Trump tells the truth.
Trump lies even when he hurts people, it is his default setting.
These people seem to know a lot about hell. They have made hell on earth for all of us. The fact that nobody is stopping him from destroying the White House is appalling.
Who could? The House of Representatives? They're on "indefinite furlough" until Trumpty Dumpty says they can come back. The Senate? They're actually probably pretty busy, since they're the only ones still doing anything, apparently. :-/
They are in their offices call them! (202) 224-3121
It might be considered a little too late now...and he doesn't listen to court orders anyway. It doesn't mean much without enforcement. :(

Yes I want another NO KINGS THIS SATURDAY

this is the way. this brings hope. we will tear down everything he built. can you imagine the rejoicing in heaven (Jackie-O) when we unpave paradise and replant her beloved rose garden?
God, please hasten that day forward!
I just hope there weren't any really specific varieties that she'd come up with herself and only grew there... :(
trump is old, mentally ill and physically rotting from the inside. He will NEVER live long enough to see these projects come to completion. I hope for "breaking News..." everyday. That his last breath, is his LAST breath.
Every day I wake up and pray that he's dead.
Which is what leads me to think that he's deliberately destroying America purposely. Why?

“ALBATROSS!”
“Do you get wafers with that?”
“No, you don’t get bleedin’ wafers with that, it’s a bloody ALBATROSS!”
Thank you! I sure needed that! 🤣😂
John Cleese erupting into “ALBATROSS!” at the Hollywood Bowl will realign your mind.
Exactly 😆
